Methods and systems for model-driven candidate sorting based on audio cues for evaluating digital interviews are described. In one embodiment, a processing device converts audio data of a candidate in a digital interview into voice-to-text data. An audio cue generator executing on the processing device, generates audio cues of the digital interview based on the voice-to-text data. The audio cues are applied to a prediction model to predict an achievement index for the candidate based on the audio cues. The processing device displays the candidate in a list of candidates based on the achievement index. The list of candidates is sorted according to the candidates' achievement index.
