The Analysis page is where your team reviews a candidate’s interview session for a specific job. This guide explains what each part of an analysis contains and how to use it in your hiring decisions.

Overview

A Session Analysis brings together everything Serin captured about a candidate’s interview — their performance, transcript, report, and communication history — in one place. Use analysis to:
  • Understand how a candidate performed against job requirements
  • Review interview evidence alongside the AI-generated report
  • Compare candidates consistently across the same role
  • Decide on next steps with your hiring team
For the step-by-step walkthrough of the Analysis page interface, see View Analysis →.

Report Sections

When you open the Detailed Report tab, you will find structured sections that explain the candidate’s evaluation. Typical sections include:

Resume Match

How well the candidate’s resume aligns with the job requirements, including similarity scoring and screening outcomes.

Interview Summary

A high-level overview of how the interview went — key themes, overall impression, and notable moments from the session.

Skills Assessment

Serin evaluates candidates based on their responses for each question keeping in mind the job required skill-areas.

Communication

How effectively the candidate communicated during the interview — clarity, structure, and responsiveness.

Technical Evaluation

For technical roles, assessment of domain knowledge, problem-solving approach, and depth of experience demonstrated in responses.

Organization Custom Questions

If your organization configured custom interview questions for the job, results appear here with the candidate’s response, supporting evidence, and assessment for each question.

Overall Recommendation

A synthesized view of the candidate’s fit for the role based on resume match, interview performance, and scores.
Report sections vary by role and job configuration. Not every section appears for every job.

Interview Playback

The Interview Details tab lets you review the interview recording and transcript. You can:
  • Replay the interview — Watch the session to verify context and tone
  • Navigate the timeline — Move through the recording alongside the transcript
  • Read the transcript — Review exactly what was said during the session
Playback helps you validate the AI report with your own judgment. Use it when a score or recommendation needs additional context.

Candidate Comparison

Serin supports comparing multiple candidates for the same job side by side. Comparison surfaces:
  • Overall fit scores across candidates
  • Custom question results (if configured)
  • Application status
Use comparison to shortlist finalists or align your hiring team on a shared view of candidate performance. Always review individual session analyses for finalists before making final decisions.
Comparison highlights key signals but does not replace reading the full report, transcript, and playback for each candidate you are seriously considering.

Best Practices

  • Read the report and watch the interview — AI-generated insights are most useful when combined with your own review of the session.
  • Evaluate against job required skill-areas — Focus on how the candidate performed based on job required skill areas for the role.
  • Use comparison for consistency — When multiple candidates interviewed for the same role, comparison reduces subjective bias.
  • Consider the full hiring picture — Interview analysis is one signal. Combine it with resume review, references, and team feedback.
  • Communicate from Serin — Use the Email Conversation tab to track candidate communication without switching tools.
