Intervues

AI interviewer for Softgarden teams

Updated 2026-09-16

Softgarden is an ATS used by German SMBs and Mittelstand companies. Those teams run German-language career sites, multi-posting to job boards, and Works Council-friendly workflows. Intervues works alongside Softgarden today — send interview links, review structured voice screens, and share reports — while native sync remains on the roadmap.

How Softgarden teams hire today

Softgarden customers are typically German SMBs and Mittelstand companies. Their recruiters live inside Softgarden for req creation, pipeline stages, and hiring manager collaboration.

The recurring bottleneck is the same: once resumes are shortlisted, someone still has to phone-screen B2B Mittelstand sales teams — often dozens per req — before managers invest in onsite time.

That first conversation is repetitive, hard to schedule across time zones, and rarely captured in a structured way back in Softgarden. Intervues targets that gap without pretending a native connector already exists.

Sample interview questions — Sales Representative

These are the kinds of structured voice questions Intervues runs for Sales Representative roles typical among Softgarden users:

  • How do you qualify whether a prospect is genuinely evaluating or just collecting quotes?
  • Describe losing a deal to a cheaper competitor — what did you learn about your value story?
  • Walk me through preparing for a first meeting when you only have the company name and website.
  • How do you manage a pipeline when your territory spans three Bundesländer with different buying cycles?

How Softgarden teams use Intervues alongside their ATS today

  1. Shortlist in your ATS as usual

    Recruiters filter applicants inside Softgarden — resume screen, knockout questions, or sourcing tags — and pick who gets a structured voice screen.

  2. Send an Intervues interview link

    Paste a unique interview link into the candidate email template or SMS your team already sends from the ATS. No API required — the link opens a structured AI voice interview.

  3. Review the score report

    When the candidate finishes, recruiters open the Intervues report: rubric scores, timestamped quotes, and a plain-language summary. Attach the link or export CSV for your hiring manager.

  4. Advance or reject in the ATS

    Move the candidate to the next Softgarden stage — phone screen with HM, onsite, or rejection — using the same workflow you run today, now informed by a same-day structured screen.

Planned Softgarden field mapping (roadmap — not shipped)

The table below describes what we intend to sync once the connector ships. Nothing in this table is live today — it is a design target for the waitlist beta.

Join the Softgarden native sync waitlist

Native Softgarden sync is on the roadmap — automatic candidate push, stage updates, and score write-back are in design, not shipped.

Until that ships, teams use Intervues alongside Softgarden with interview links and exported reports. Tell us you want Softgarden first and we will prioritize the connector.

  • Email: admin@intervues.club with subject "ATS waitlist: Softgarden"
  • Include your company size, typical monthly applicant volume, and which hiring stage you want automated first
  • Waitlist members get early access to the connector beta and field-mapping review before general release

Frequently asked

Does Intervues integrate natively with Softgarden today?

No. Intervues has none shipped yet — native sync is on the roadmap. Teams using Softgarden run Intervues alongside it today via interview links and exported reports. Join the waitlist at admin@intervues.club if native sync is a requirement for your rollout.

How do I get interview results back into Softgarden without an integration?

Copy the Intervues report link into an internal note on the candidate's application, attach the PDF export if your team uses one, or import scores via CSV into a custom field your Softgarden admin already configured. Native write-back is planned but not live.

How do I join the Softgarden connector waitlist?

Email admin@intervues.club with subject "ATS waitlist: Softgarden". Include your monthly applicant volume and which stage you want automated first. Waitlist members get early beta access when the connector ships.

Will a native Softgarden integration replace manual copy-paste?

That is the goal. The planned connector would push completion status and scores into Softgarden automatically. It is not shipped — join the waitlist if that write-back is blocking your rollout.

Is Intervues only for global companies on Softgarden?

The alongside workflow works for any Softgarden customer regardless of region — send a link, get a structured screen, attach the report to the application.

What does Intervues score that a Softgarden knockout question cannot?

Knockout questions test yes/no eligibility. Intervues runs a conversational screen — how the candidate explains trade-offs, handles pushback, and communicates in the role's real context — with timestamped evidence recruiters can share with hiring managers.
