    How it works

    Interview like a pro. Zero admin.

    NextItem sits quietly in the background so you can look at the candidate, not your notes.

    How did you and the candidate sound?

    Great interviews are conversations, not quizzes. See who did the talking, how the pace felt, and where you could ask better questions.

    • Talk-time split, so candidates get room to answer
    • Pace and filler words for both of you
    • Gentle tips you can act on in your next interview

    Candidate
    You asked 6 open questions and left room for answers. Nice.
    Privacy

    Private by default. Shared on purpose.

    Not everyone needs a front-row seat. Interviews are sensitive, so only the people you choose can open them. Everyone else sees nothing, not even that they exist.

    • Roles for hiring manager, panel, recruiter and viewer
    • Decide per role who sees the transcript, audio, notes or speech stats
    • Access that expires, and a log of who opened what
    • Auto-delete recordings on your schedule
    • Everything we store is encrypted at rest, and in transit

    The small things that matter

    Consent built in

    Let candidates know up front that NextItem is listening, with a ready-made message to share.

    Fairer by design

    Every candidate gets the same questions, so you compare people on answers, not on who you clicked with.

    Works where you meet

    Use it alongside your video call, or in the room with a laptop on the table.

    Team-ready

    Share guides and notes with your panel so debriefs start from the same facts.

    Questions, answered

    Does NextItem record the interview?

    You decide. NextItem listens live to track topics and write your notes. Afterwards, you choose whether to keep the audio, the transcript, or neither.

    Who can see an interview?

    Only the people you give access to. Each interview is private by default, and you choose per role what they can open: the transcript, audio, notes or speech stats. Access can expire, and every view is logged. Everything we store is encrypted at rest and in transit.

    Will the candidate know it's on?

    They should. NextItem gives you a short consent message to send with the invite, so candidates know before the interview starts.

    Do I have to follow the suggested questions?

    No. They're only suggestions. Ask your own questions or follow the conversation off-script. Topics tick off whenever they come up, in any order.

    How does NextItem know a topic is covered?

    A topic ticks off when you ask about it and the candidate gives a real answer, not when it's only mentioned. Tap a covered topic to see the exact words that counted, with the key phrases marked.

    Can my whole hiring team use it?

    Yes. Share a guide across the panel so every interviewer covers the same ground, then compare notes in the debrief.
