You’re scouring through countless candidate applications and thinking: With everyone talking about AI, why isn’t there any good AI interview assistant on the market?
Even if you’re not thinking about additional help, deep down, you do want it. And with AI making rounds around every industry, recruitment should have its fair share of AI usage.
AI in recruitment is already making huge waves. The expected CAGR is 27.67% between 2025 and 2030 - which is huge. And as of last year, 2024, 60% of organizations use AI to manage their talent.
Now that we have enough stats to understand you need an AI interview assistant, let’s discuss the topic more.
In this article, you’ll learn:
And much, much more!
When you think of an AI interview assistant, one thing comes to mind: efficiency.
It’s a tool designed to streamline the hiring process by automating tasks like note-taking, interview structuring, candidate evaluation, and ATS updates.
On the backend, AI uses machine learning algorithms like natural language processing (NLP). Using that, an AI interview assistant removes the need for back-and-forth scheduling emails and provides real-time transcription and structured insights.
If you’re looking for a one-word answer, yes.
However, AI assistants and AI notetakers both have distinct roles. An AI notetaker mainly transcribes meetings and creates summaries.
AI interview assistants improve your deliverables, make repetitive tasks easier, and provide epic assistance.
But what if you get the best of both worlds in one tool? That’s where Quil enters.
Unlike generic AI tools, Quil is designed specifically for recruiters and benefits them tremendously. Our customers are a testament to the product and how it makes their lives easier.
Take Carolyn as an example:
Admin work is a huge hectic for recruiters - and if you get to reduce 50% of that - it’s a dream come true.
Why you need AI shouldn’t even be a question given the AI market is expected to reach US$243.70 bn this year (i.e. 2025). However, we’ll break down reasons why you should use AI, particularly for recruiters.
Let’s get started.
If you’re taking an interview and trying to scribble notes, you’re just wasting time.
It’s not like you’re having a casual conversation and if you don’t remember bits and pieces it’ll be fine.
In an interview, you have to actively listen, ask questions, note down everything, and make sure you have all the right information.
All of this is then followed by updating fields in the ATS you use.
Now, imagine having to do all this without any assistance. You’re probably doing it right now anyway. But what if we told you there’s a better way with Quil?
Not only will you say goodbye to manual notetaking, but you’ll also get automated records, clean write-ups, and meeting summaries.
And we know this is *heaven* for recruiters because of our feedback from customers.

With 0 admin work, you’re already being super productive with the majority of your recruitment-related tasks.
For Quil specifically, we have an awesome feature that categorizes meetings.
Meeting types improve how you organize your meetings.
For instance, if you’re interviewing a candidate for a software engineer role, you can ask for a predefined meeting type from our team and we’ll get it ready for you.
Here’s an overview of what meeting types are and how they help:
Plus, they standardize interview processes by generating structured question sets based on job descriptions.
This means every candidate is assessed on the same criteria ( so it’s fairer and more objective evaluations).
Candidates and their experience matter a lot too. In fact, 66% of the candidates report that a positive experience affected their decision.
Some companies leave candidates in the dark. And in that process, they leave out excellent candidates.
With Quil, everything changes. Recruiters can update their ATS automatically, turn in write-ups, and get back to candidates faster.
Plus, they get to talk to a person who won’t be scribbling notes and listen to them.
Even if you’re open to every culture, background, or nationality (and the list goes on) - there’s still some percentage of unconscious bias that recruiters make.
AI helps promote workforce diversity. More diversity doesn’t just mean a better reputation, it also brings in financial returns. According to a study by McKinsey & Company, companies with more diversity are likely to have 35% more financial gains.
Thus, Quil helps move closer to unbiased, inclusive hiring (that also brings in more revenue).
AI is prevalent across the hiring industry. Tools like AI notetakers, AI interview assistants, and other AI-powered tools make headlines.
If you choose to avoid all the buzz around AI usage, you’re giving up on huge advantages like 50% less time-to-hire.
