# Live Interviews in Xobin

### What are Live Interviews in Xobin?
Xobin's Live Interviews feature provides hiring teams with a structured, real-time environment to evaluate candidates face-to-face from anywhere. Built to replace unorganized phone screenings and disconnected video call tools, it allows recruiters and interview panels to assess communication skills, behavioral alignment, and role-specific competencies — all in one place.

### Key Features of Live Interviews
* **Integrated Video & Audio**
High-quality, real-time video and audio built directly into the platform. No plugins or third-party apps required for either the interviewer or the candidate.
* **Structured Scorecards**
Pre-defined evaluation parameters and standardized scorecards keep interviews fair and consistent across all candidates and panel members — filled out live, during the session.
* **Automated & Flexible Scheduling**
Schedule live or panel interviews directly within the platform. Recruiters can coordinate times manually or allow candidates to book slots based on real-time interviewer availability — complete with automated confirmation links, calendar reminders, and easy rescheduling or cancellation.
* **Secure Cloud Recordings**
Record interviews and share them with cross-functional stakeholders, allowing hiring managers to review responses and collaborate on decisions without requiring everyone to be present live.
* **Flexible Pipeline Deployment**
Live Interviews can be deployed natively within Xobin Tracks to automatically advance or filter candidates based on scorecard outcomes. Alternatively, it can be used independently — without a job posting — for one-off or ad-hoc interviewing needs.
* **Ecosystem Connectivity**
Connects directly with major corporate tools including Google Calendar, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom — syncing external video links and internal calendar invites instantly once your account is connected.
* **Centralized Dashboard**
All scheduled sessions automatically populate a single recruiting dashboard, triggering real-time notifications and eliminating manual coordination across fragmented tools.

### Why Use Live Interviews Over Standard Video Calls?
Traditional video tools treat hiring like a basic conversation. Xobin treats it like a structured evaluation. With the interview scorecard, candidate history, and live communication all in a single view, hiring managers save administrative time and stay focused on making objective, data-driven decisions.
