What is Interview as a Service?
Interview as a Service (IaaS) is a scalable hiring model that lets companies outsource interview services to expert evaluators. It’s widely used in tech recruitment, enabling faster decisions and high-quality assessments, delivered through platforms like FloCareer with scheduling, reports, and candidate recordings.
In simple terms, Interview-as-a-Service is a modern recruitment solution where third-party professionals conduct interviews on behalf of an organization — a concept increasingly relevant in today’s global and remote-first hiring environment.
