4 AI stages
We vet.
Every applicant goes through four AI passes: triage, screen interview, role-fit assessment, first-round interview. Each pass produces a numeric score and a written note.
  • Adaptive difficulty: senior roles probe deeper, junior roles probe differently.
  • Candidates see what we score and why.
  • Transcripts and scoring rationale on the dashboard.
