| -------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Is this a real interview?**    | Yes. Your answers are evaluated and reviewed by our team.                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| **Will a human see my answers?** | Yes. The AI produces a **score report**; a **hiring team member reviews** it — you’re not evaluated only by software. If we’ve turned it on, you can also **get a copy of that report by email** (same view we see). *\[Recruiter: full wording below.]* |
| **Technical issues?**            | Contact \[support email]; we can reschedule or troubleshoot.                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| **Can I retake?**                | \[If retakes on:] Yes, up to \[X] times. \[If off:] One attempt — pick a quiet time to focus.                                                                                                                                                            |

### Will a human see my answers? (recruiter wording)

**What to tell candidates**

* **Yes: a human is in the loop.** HeyMilo’s AI builds a **score report**; someone on your **hiring team reviews** the report and the candidate’s answers — not the AI alone.

**Sharing the report with the candidate**

Candidates can receive **the same report your team sees** if you enable **Email Report to Candidate**:

* **When creating / editing the interviewer**: In setup, open **Advanced Settings** (or equivalent for your flow) and turn **Email Report to Candidate** **on** — *Send interview report after completion*.
* **After completion (change anytime)**: Open the **agent (interviewer)** → **Settings** → **Advanced Settings** → **Email Report to Candidate** → **on** (*Send interview report after completion*).

Use this when candidates ask whether they can **see their results** or **get a copy of the analysis** — it’s optional and controlled by your team.

## Recruiter Tips

* **Say it's AI upfront**: Transparency improves completion and reduces anxiety.
* **Set expectations**: Length, question style, and what happens next.
* **Offer a human contact**: For technical or other issues.
* **Disclosures**: Set any required legal disclosures in your posting’s **Settings** tab; see [Configuring Your AI Interviewer](../../getting-started/log-in/configuring-your-ai-interviewer).
