What is This? — An Introduction to Your Signal Session
You've been invited to a conversation with AI — here's what to expect
You've been invited to take part in a Signal Session — a short, private conversation with an AI interviewer. This article explains what it is, what to expect, and why there's nothing to worry about.
It's a conversation, not a test
A Signal Session is a voice conversation. You'll speak naturally with an AI interviewer, and it will listen, ask follow-up questions, and let you share your perspective in your own words.
It is not: - A survey with radio buttons or multiple-choice questions - A test with right or wrong answers - A recorded phone call with a human on the other end - A chatbot where you type your responses
You simply talk. The AI listens and responds, just as a thoughtful colleague would.
Why voice?
People express themselves more fully when they speak than when they type. A voice conversation lets you share context, nuance, and detail that a survey form can't capture. You don't need to choose from a list of options — you just say what you think.
What you'll need
- A device with a working microphone (laptop, desktop, phone, or tablet)
- A stable internet connection
- Enough uninterrupted time to complete the session — check your invitation email for the expected duration
- A reasonably quiet space — background noise is fine, but a quiet room gives the best experience
Your privacy is protected
In a Confidential campaign, your identity is pseudonymized. Your name is replaced with a random code before anyone sees your responses, so the organization sees insights and patterns, not who said what. If the campaign is set to Identified by name, the session tells you before you begin, and your responses carry your name to the people who read the results.
You're in control
Participation is voluntary. You can stop at any time. Nothing bad happens if you stop early — your responses up to that point are still valuable, and there is no penalty for not finishing.
Plan to complete your session in one sitting. Once you have worked through a conversation and it ends, it cannot be resumed. If you drop out right at the start, your invitation link stays live and you can begin again.
What happens after
Your conversation is transcribed and analyzed to produce scored insights for the organization that invited you. When you finish, your completion screen shows a recap of your own session, and unless the organization has switched it off you also receive a Session Recap email. Your data is never used to train AI models.
