Author: Dr. Pankaj Valmik Baviskar, Parag Krishna Nikum, Raj Ashok Sonawane, Nikita Laxmikant Wagh, Tanvi R

Email: paragnikum@gmail.com

Abstract: The growing number of job applications and the need for fair and effective hiring practices have shown that traditional interview-based recruitment systems have big problems. Interviews conducted by hand take a long time, are difficult to standardise and are prone to personal bias, so they aren't suitable for large-scale screening. Recent improvements in large language models and conversational AI have enabled the automation of interview workflows while maintaining the quality of interaction and context understanding. This paper presents an OpenAI API-driven conversational interviewing system designed to conduct adaptive, role-specific interviews through real-time voice interaction. The proposed system integrates candidate resumes and job descriptions to construct interview context, to dynamically generate interview questions using LLMs and conduct voice-based interviews. Unlike static or rule-based interview chatbots, it adapts question difficulty and interview flow based on candidate performance, enabling fair and consistent assessment across varying skill levels. The architecture combines OpenAI’s language models for question generation and response evaluation with Retell AI for speech-based interaction, resulting in a modular and scalable interview pipeline. Experimental deployment in academic and simulated recruitment scenarios demonstrates improved screening efficiency, reduced interviewer bias and consistent evaluation outcomes. The results indicate that OpenAI API-based conversational systems can effectively bridge the gap between human-led interviews and automated recruitment workflows. This work contributes to the growing field of AI-driven recruitment by presenting a transparent, adaptive and practically deployable interviewing system.
