Generic ATS tools weren't built for the people who hire organizers, fellows, coaches, and program leaders.
So we built one that was.

Async video

Interviews on their time. Reviews on yours.

Candidates record thoughtful responses from a quiet moment they choose. Your team reviews at 1.5x, leaves timestamped notes, and never plays interview tag again.

  • No-stress retakes
  • Auto-transcribed & searchable
  • Built-in lighting & framing guide

Structured scorecards

Fairness, by design.

An AI wizard drafts role-specific rubrics in seconds. Your team customizes, then evaluates with the same scale — surfacing real signal, not gut calls.

  • Role-aware competencies
  • Evaluator-variance alerts
  • Calibration sessions built in

Questions

Common questions, answered.

Does the AI score candidates?

Never. AI summarizes responses and helps draft rubrics — humans always decide who advances.

Is this accessible?

Yes — WCAG 2.1 AA, full screen-reader support, and built-in accommodation requests.

How are emotional insights used?

They're an optional, opt-in signal for self-reflection — never tied to scoring or hiring decisions.

Do you support SSO?

Yes — Google, Microsoft, Okta, and SAML on Network plans.

Can candidates re-record?

Yes, up to three takes per question, with no stress and no penalty.

Where is data stored?

EU & US regions available. GDPR-ready with full export & deletion APIs.

Built compliance-conscious from day one.

Audit logs, accommodation requests, consent tracking, and a strict policy: AI summarizes and assists — humans always decide. We never analyze appearance, accent, emotion, or other protected characteristics for scoring.
