How to Run AI‑Powered Interviews in ClickUp

ClickUp provides a structured workspace layout that lets you run consistent, AI‑powered mock interviews from start to finish. This guide walks you through using the prebuilt interview system so you can capture answers, score candidates, and share outcomes in a few clicks.

Understand the ClickUp Interview Structure

The AI interview workspace in ClickUp is built around clear levels and a predictable workflow. Before you start, review how everything is organized so you know exactly where to work.

ClickUp workspace levels for interviews

• Workspace: The top level that holds all interview resources.
• Space: Organizes related work, such as interview templates or candidate evaluations.
• Folders: Group interview lists by role, team, or hiring stage.
• Lists: Contain individual items for interview questions, answers, and scorecards.
• Tasks: Represent specific interview elements like a single question, a candidate’s response, or a follow‑up action.

This layered structure in ClickUp keeps all interview activities tidy and easy to navigate, even when you run multiple mock interviews at once.

Key benefits of using ClickUp for interviews

• Single hub for questions, answers, and notes.
• Reusable templates for different roles and difficulty levels.
• Automations to guide next steps after each interview.
• Shareable links for collaboration and feedback.

Open the ClickUp AI Interview Assistant

The mock interview experience is driven by an AI agent hosted in your ClickUp workspace. To access it, start from the dedicated AI interview page.

1. Open the AI interview template page based on the instructions from your workspace admin or hiring team.
2. Locate the embedded AI assistant panel that sits alongside the interview task list.
3. Review the introductory text that describes the agent’s purpose and behavior.
4. Confirm you understand how the AI uses context from your tasks and lists to guide the interview session.

The agent is optimized for structured question‑and‑answer sessions and uses the underlying ClickUp data model so your conversations can be stored, scored, and reused.

Set Up Your ClickUp Interview Session

Before you begin a live mock interview, prepare the environment inside ClickUp so the AI can follow a clear agenda and record accurate notes.

Create or select a ClickUp list for your interview

1. Choose the appropriate Space for interviews, such as “Hiring” or “Training”.
2. Create a new Folder if you want to group interviews by role or team.
3. Add a dedicated List for the specific position, for example “Senior Engineer Interview”.
4. Check that custom fields (such as difficulty, topic, and score) are available on the list.

Using a dedicated list in ClickUp keeps each role separate and makes it easier to compare sessions later.

Add base questions and scoring fields

1. Within the interview list, create individual tasks for each question you want the AI agent to ask.
2. Use the task title for the question and the description for guidelines or example answers.
3. Add custom fields such as:

• Category (e.g., technical, behavioral, scenario).
• Difficulty (junior, mid, senior).
• Score (numeric or dropdown).

These fields help the ClickUp AI agent understand which questions to use and how to evaluate responses during the session.

Start a Mock Interview in ClickUp

Once your list and questions are ready, you can begin a guided mock interview using the AI agent integrated into ClickUp.

Launch the AI‑driven session

1. Open the main interview list so you can see all question tasks.
2. Activate the AI interview assistant panel from the side of the screen.
3. Provide context about the role and candidate, such as years of experience and focus area.
4. Ask the agent to begin a mock interview based on the current list of tasks.

The AI agent will reference the task data stored in ClickUp to select appropriate questions and adjust complexity as the interview progresses.

Respond and capture answers

1. Have the candidate answer each question verbally or in writing while you record notes.
2. For each task in the interview list, open the task and add the candidate’s response to the description or a dedicated comment thread.
3. Use custom fields to rate the answer, applying a score or label.
4. Let the AI agent summarize or rephrase answers for clarity when needed.

Because every answer is stored as a task update in ClickUp, you maintain a complete history of each candidate’s mock interview.

Use ClickUp to Analyze and Score Interviews

After the session, use the structured data and AI capabilities in ClickUp to evaluate performance and identify trends.

Generate AI summaries and feedback

1. Select the list view to see all question tasks in one place.
2. Filter by candidate or session if you keep multiple attempts in the same list.
3. Invoke the AI agent to produce a concise summary of:

• Strengths and weaknesses.
• Key skills demonstrated.
• Gaps or red flags.
• Recommended next steps.

Summaries generated in ClickUp can be stored as comments, custom fields, or attached documents for easy sharing.

Compare performance across sessions

1. Switch to a table or custom view that highlights scoring fields.
2. Sort by score to see which questions are most challenging.
3. Group tasks by category or difficulty level.
4. Ask the AI to surface patterns, such as common weak areas for a specific role.

This structured analysis in ClickUp helps refine your question set and improve future interview sessions.

Share Interview Outcomes from ClickUp

Collaboration is built into the interview system so you can quickly involve other reviewers or mentors.

Create shareable interview reports

1. Use AI to create a narrative report based on scores and notes.
2. Save the report as a doc or summary task inside the interview list.
3. Share the item via a secure link or by adding collaborators to your workspace.
4. Mention stakeholders in comments so they receive notifications.

With everything stored in ClickUp, your team can review candidate performance without chasing scattered documents or messages.

Automate follow‑up actions in ClickUp

1. Set up simple automations on the interview list, such as:

• Create a follow‑up task when an interview score passes a threshold.
• Assign a reviewer when a new mock interview is completed.
• Update candidate status when the final decision is logged.

Automations turn your ClickUp interview workspace into a repeatable system that saves time and reduces manual work.
