Frequently Asked Questions

It's a real conversation! Our AI interviewer engages in natural back-and-forth dialogue with candidates, asking follow-up questions based on their responses. This isn't a one-way video recording - it's an interactive experience that feels like talking to a human interviewer.

Absolutely! You have full control over the interview structure. Customize questions, set focus areas (technical skills, communication, problem-solving, etc.), adjust the interview duration, choose the AI's tone (friendly, direct, or probing), and even select the language and voice. Every interview can be tailored to your specific role and company culture.

Our AI evaluates candidates across multiple dimensions you define, generating a 0-100 match-fit score. The scoring considers responses quality, communication skills, problem-solving approach, and alignment with your specified criteria. Each focus area receives individual scores, plus an overall match-fit score. The AI provides detailed explanations for each score, highlighting key quotes and moments from the interview.

Yes! Merra works standalone - no ATS required. You can invite candidates directly via email links. However, if you do use an ATS, we offer simple integration options including CSV export and webhooks to seamlessly fit into your existing workflow. Many teams use us for first-round screening before moving qualified candidates into their ATS.

We take data security seriously. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. We're fully GDPR compliant with clear data processing agreements available. You control retention periods - standard plans include 30-day media retention, with custom retention available for Enterprise. Candidates can request data deletion at any time, and we provide full audit trails for compliance.

Our free trial includes: 1 active job posting, 10 AI interviews, full access to all features (customization, scoring, video & transcripts), 14 days to test everything, and no credit card required to start. It's the perfect way to experience how Merra can transform your hiring process before committing.
