Not every company has a cloud warehouse. Many run their internal reporting, admin tools and recruiting dashboards straight from a PostgreSQL database. This page explains how NTRVSTA connects to PostgreSQL, what engineering and recruiting teams build with it, and how setup works.
What the PostgreSQL integration does
The PostgreSQL integration brings NTRVSTA interview data into a database you control, for hiring analytics and reporting. Your team can query it, back it up and secure it the same way as the rest of your data.
This tends to suit engineering-led companies and staffing firms that build their own tools. If you already have an internal admin panel or a homegrown recruiting dashboard on Postgres, interview results can show up there instead of in yet another tab.
How teams use NTRVSTA with PostgreSQL
- Internal recruiting dashboards. Show each open role's interview count, scores and pass rate in the admin tool your team already uses.
- Engineering hiring reviews. NTRVSTA's adaptive technical interviews raise or lower difficulty with each answer, and system-design interviews include an interactive whiteboard. Engineering managers can review score trends by role from their own database.
- Matching on your own data. Staffing teams combine AI resume scores and interview scores with their own placement history to decide which candidates to put forward.
- A custom analytics layer. Data teams join interview data with HR records for reporting on quality of hire, without waiting on a vendor-built report.
- Keeping data in your own environment. Teams with strict data policies prefer interview data in a database they host and manage, under their own backup and retention rules.
Before setup, have your engineers decide who owns the interview data in your database, how long you keep it and who can read it. Candidate interview data is personal data, so treat it like the rest of your HR records, with the same access controls and retention policy.
Setting it up
NTRVSTA's team connects to your PostgreSQL database with your engineers. Expect a few days for most setups, depending on customization. A database admin or engineer on your side provides access and decides where the data should live.

About PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL describes itself as "a powerful, open source object-relational database system" that uses and extends the SQL language. According to the project, its origins date back to 1986 as part of the POSTGRES project at the University of California at Berkeley, it runs on all major operating systems, and it has been ACID-compliant since 2001.

Questions
Does NTRVSTA work with PostgreSQL?
Yes. NTRVSTA integrates with PostgreSQL, so interview data can be brought into your own database for reporting and internal tools. Our team connects it with your engineers. It suits teams that prefer to keep data in a database they host and manage themselves.
How long does PostgreSQL setup take?
For most teams, a few days, depending on customization. You will need a database administrator or engineer to provide access and agree where the data goes. Agree on ownership, retention and read access for the data before setup starts, so the build goes faster.
Do candidates interact with our database?
No. Candidates just take the interview. Your PostgreSQL database is only used by your own team for reporting and tools. They take the same live, adaptive AI interview, as a video avatar or audio only, on their own schedule.
