Creating your first AI interview link

Publish a role, configure difficulty, share the link with applicants, and let Naqwa run structured AI screening while you focus on shortlisting.

Naqwa Team 5 min read

An AI interview link is the fastest way to screen candidates in Naqwa. Share one URL and let applicants complete a structured interview on their own schedule — perfect for shift workers and candidates across Qatar and the GCC.

Create a job posting

  1. Log in to the Naqwa portal and open Jobs.
  2. Click New job and enter the role title and description.
  3. Paste your full job description — Naqwa uses it for CV matching and interview question context.
  4. Set difficulty and interview type (general screening, technical, or practical assessment where available).
  5. Save and Publish the job.

Get your interview link

Once published, Naqwa generates a unique candidate-facing URL. You'll find it on the job detail page. Copy the link and share it via:

  • WhatsApp or email to referred candidates
  • Your company careers page
  • Job boards (Bayt, LinkedIn, GulfTalent, etc.)
  • QR codes at recruitment events in Doha or Expo venues

What candidates experience

Candidates open the link and see a short check screen first: how the interview works, a choice of English or Arabic, and a microphone test (plus a camera test if you require a webcam). They then register with their name and email, upload a CV, and complete the AI interview. One answer must be spoken out loud — a quick check that a real person is answering.

Candidates see which question they are on ("Question 3 of 5"). If they refresh or lose connection, their unsent answer and any warnings are kept. When an answer is vague or made up, the AI asks a follow-up for a real example.

Naqwa records responses, runs integrity checks (tab switches, copy/paste attempts, text that was not typed, silent voice recordings), and scores every answer against your role requirements.

Review submissions

Open Candidates from the sidebar. You'll see each applicant with:

  • Interview score, built from a 0–10 score for each answer
  • CV match score, shown separately
  • Integrity flags with counts, times, and the question they happened on
  • Weak, not genuine, not typed, or possibly AI-written answers tagged in the transcript
  • Status (new, shortlisted, rejected)

Filter by score to prioritise top applicants before scheduling in-person interviews at your Qatar office.

Best practices

  • Write specific job descriptions — vague posts produce weaker CV match scores.
  • Close the job when you've filled the role to stop new applications.
  • For technical roles, enable practical assessments on Starter or Growth plans.
