    Walk me through the largest system you have owned end to end.

    The payments ledger at my last company, about forty thousand writes a minute at peak. I owned the move off the monolith.

Weights come from your rubric, not ours. A strong answer on a light competency does not carry the score.

Capabilities

Everything the agent handles for you

Scored, with the reasoning

Weighted scores, rationale, recording, and transcript on every candidate. Not every skill counts the same, so the score doesn't pretend it does.

Who it's for

For agencies

Staffing and RPO agencies

Submit qualified candidates in days, re-engage the database you already own, and run more reqs per recruiter without another hire.

In-house

In-house and product teams

Clear senior and technical pipelines. Return hundreds of hours of recruiter phone time and score every candidate against the same rubric.

Candidate experience

What it feels like from the other side

The fastest way to lose a pipeline is a screening step candidates resent.

They pick the time

No scheduling back and forth and no waiting on a recruiter's calendar. Candidates take the call when it suits them, including outside your working hours.

No trick questions

A structured conversation about the role and the work they have actually done. Every candidate gets the same questions and the same guidance.

A transcript they can stand on

The evaluation cites what they said. There is a real record behind the score rather than an impression formed on a phone call nobody wrote down.

Pricing

Pricing that tracks what you get

Priced per program, scaling with volume.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI make the hiring decision?

No. It screens and scores. Your recruiters decide, with the transcript and analysis in hand.

How do you keep scoring consistent?

Every candidate meets the same rubric and the same guidance, and every evaluation carries an audit trail.

Will it work with our ATS?

Yes — Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and 40+ others, writing into your existing fields.

How fast does it go live?

Days, not months. Upload a JD, review the rubric, start. No engineering lift.

What does the candidate experience feel like?

A structured voice conversation about the role, in their language, at a time that suits them.

How are the ROI numbers calculated?

Against a client's own prior process on the same dataset. We'll model yours on the call.
