How It Works

From Resumes to Evaluated Candidates

Four steps. Upload resumes, let AI score and interview, review structured reports. Your team only meets candidates who have already proven their depth.

Step 01

Define Your Role

Configure what matters for your hire

Create a job posting with the skills, experience, and qualifications that matter. Set weighted scoring priorities -- whether that's domain expertise for a risk analyst or system design skills for an engineer.

Define must-have and nice-to-have requirements
Set scoring weights: skills, experience, education, location, cultural fit
Add custom AI prompts for role-specific evaluation
Works for any role -- engineering, sales, finance, healthcare, operations
Unified skill normalization maps variants (e.g., 'react.js' and 'ReactJS') automatically

Result: Your AI scoring engine is configured to evaluate candidates against exactly what your role requires.

Step 02

Upload & Screen Resumes

From hundreds of resumes to a ranked shortlist

Upload up to 100 resumes at once. AI parses every PDF and DOCX, extracts skills, experience, education, and certifications, then scores each candidate against your job requirements.

Bulk upload up to 100 resumes simultaneously
AI parses PDF and DOCX -- extracts 20+ data points per resume
Multi-parameter scoring: skills (40%), experience (30%), education (15%), location (10%), cultural fit (5%)
Candidates ranked by match score -- see your best fits first
Adaptive probing exposes surface-level candidates who inflated their resume

Result: A ranked list of candidates scored against your requirements -- what used to take days now takes minutes.

Step 03

AI-Conducted First-Round Interview

The first interview your team never has to do

Shortlisted candidates receive a single-use interview link. AI conducts a real-time 45-minute voice interview -- asking resume-aware, role-specific questions that adapt to their responses. No scheduling, no calendar blocks.

Real-time voice conversation -- not async video or chatbot
Questions generated from the job description and candidate resume
Adaptive difficulty -- strong candidates face harder follow-ups
Candidates interview on their schedule -- available 24/7
Single-use links expire after 24 hours for security
Works across industries: engineering, finance, healthcare, sales, legal

Result: Each candidate gets a structured evaluation report with scores, evidence, and key interview moments -- before your team meets anyone.

Step 04

Review & Decide

Compare candidates with data, not gut feelings

Every candidate who completes the process has a structured evaluation report. Review scores, transcripts, and recordings side-by-side. Your team only spends time on candidates who have already proven their depth.

Structured scoring reports with evidence for every rating
Full interview transcripts -- searchable and shareable
Side-by-side candidate comparison across all parameters
Every candidate evaluated on the same criteria -- consistent standards at any volume
Export reports for your hiring team or existing tools

Result: Your senior team only interviews candidates who have already been screened and evaluated -- no more wasted hours on unqualified applicants.

Why This Works

Why This Approach Works

The first interview is the bottleneck. AI removes it -- so your hiring pipeline moves at the speed of your business, not your team's calendar.

Compress Weeks into Hours

What typically takes weeks of scheduling and interviewing gets compressed into AI-powered screening and interviews that run 24/7 -- no calendar coordination needed.

Scored, Not Guessed

Multi-parameter AI scoring evaluates candidates on skills, experience, education, and role fit. Every score comes with evidence -- not gut feelings.

Structured, Consistent Evaluation

Every candidate is evaluated with the same criteria and rigor. Reduces bias through structured, consistent evaluation -- not different standards from different interviewers.

Scale Without Breaking

Hiring 10 people is manageable. Hiring 500 means thousands of interviews. AI handles the first round at any volume without degrading quality.

Your Team Stays Productive

Engineers ship code. Managers manage. Domain experts do their actual work. AI handles the interviews they used to be pulled into.

Evidence for Every Decision

Transcripts, scores, and recordings for every candidate. Your team reviews structured reports -- not scattered interviewer notes.

Stop Wasting Senior Time on First-Round Interviews

Every first-round interview costs your team ~2 hours of productive time. AI handles the screening and first round so your people stay focused on their actual work.
