# Can I interview candidates without AI scoring?

Yes. During vacancy creation, select Continue without scoring and confirm the choice.

The option appears under What Kira-AI listens for while you review the draft interview plan.

1.  Start by [creating a vacancy](https://getkira.com/help/create-a-vacancy) and review the generated plan.
2.  Under What Kira-AI listens for, select Continue without scoring.
3.  Confirm the choice. Kira-AI removes every listens-for item and its question links. The questions and must-haves stay.
4.  Publish the vacancy.

Candidates still complete the same voice interview. Kira-AI records and transcribes their answers, but it does not create scores or an overall band.

This is a creation-only action, not an on/off setting on a published vacancy. A published plan is scored whenever it has items under What Kira-AI listens for. Any later plan changes apply to [future interviews](https://getkira.com/help/edit-the-interview-plan).

When scoring is active, use the evidence in the [scorecard as decision support](https://getkira.com/help/read-and-verify-a-scorecard). Kira-AI does not make the hiring decision.
