SAMMI
SAMMI is a web-based asynchronous structured interview platform for candidate selection using the Multiple Mini Interview method.
What SAMMI is
SAMMI is a web-based asynchronous structured interview platform for candidate selection using the Multiple Mini Interview method. Employers record questions in advance, candidates answer online when convenient, and recruiters review responses later. The platform transcribes answers and provides a score for each question as well as an overall combined performance score. Employers can choose off-the-shelf or customised MMI questions and record interviewer questions with representatives of their organisation’s community. SAMMI 3 offers customisable fonts and colour schemes, real-time subtitles, and controls for displaying progress. The company says candidates with additional learning needs or who are neurodiverse can receive 25% extra time per question. Recruiting administrators can track applicant status on a page that updates hourly. Once an interview begins, candidates must complete the circuit; they cannot leave and return later. To help with Wi-Fi upload issues, a copy of recordings is automatically downloaded to the applicant’s hard drive. Setup costs depend on customisation, with per-interview fees and volume discounts available; customers are directed to contact the company for details.
