The first round is a scheduling problem.
Every early conversation needs two calendars to agree. An applicant in another timezone waits a week for a 30 minute call a recruiter could have ended after four minutes.
Expert Hire runs the evaluation stages of your hiring loop. Resume screening, AI interviews, human-led interviews, prompt assessments and coding tests sit in one pipeline. You pick the skills and the weightage, you set up the JD, and every candidate comes back with a report a person can open and check.
30-day free trial with 75 Hire Credits. Card required, nothing charged for 30 days.

An AI interview platform runs the evaluation stages of your hiring loop and gives every candidate a score you can check. It sends the invite, runs the round on the candidate's schedule, records what happened, scores it against the skills and the JD you set up, and hands a person the report.
A video interview tool, a coding screen and a resume parser each cover one stage. You reconcile the rest by hand. A platform keeps every stage on one candidate record.
The invite, the questions, the session and the write-up are one job. A candidate opens a link and starts. Nothing waits for a calendar slot that suits two diaries.
You pick the skills for the job and give each one a weightage. You set up the job description. Every answer is scored against those skills and that JD, and follow-up questions adapt to what the candidate actually says.
The recording, the speaker-separated transcript, the submitted code and the skill scores all stay on the report. Six weeks later you can still show why a candidate scored 84.
Scores, flags and rankings go to a recruiter. Never an automated pass or fail. We do not auto-reject anyone.
Same job, same skills, same weightage, for every candidate in the round. That is structured interviewing, and it is what the scoring is built on.
The status quo
Screening, interviewing, testing and note-taking are four purchases with four records. A recruiter stitches them into a decision by hand, for every candidate.
The most expensive part of hiring is not the software. It is the engineering hours spent interviewing people who were never going to clear the bar.
Every early conversation needs two calendars to agree. An applicant in another timezone waits a week for a 30 minute call a recruiter could have ended after four minutes.
A parser ranks the resume. A video vendor holds the call. A coding tool holds the submission. A doc holds the notes. Four scores, four scales, nothing comparable.
Two lines of feedback typed between meetings is the whole record of a 40 minute interview. Six weeks later, nobody can say what the candidate answered.
An unsupervised take-home arrives as a zip file. A remote screen can have an AI assistant open in the next tab, or a different person on the other end.
Here is what one platform replaces.
A pipeline is built from rounds. Each round is one of these five types. Rounds are numbered inside the job, AI and human stages mix in the same pipeline, and each one scores against the skills and the JD you set up. So a screen, a coding test and a live interview sit in one ranking instead of three spreadsheets.
The AI reads skills, experience and education against the role and returns a score. No interview.
Bulk upload, a candidate table with score and status, sorting, Shortlist top and CSV export.
Resume screeningEthan, our AI interviewer, runs a live voice round and asks follow-up questions based on the answers. Runs 24/7 and in the candidate's language.
Pick one of eight types: Coding (20 min), General Interview, Communication, Problem Solving or Aptitude, System Design, Academic (15 min each), HR Round and Task (10 min each).
Choose a round typeA live meeting, hosted inside Expert Hire or on Zoom, Meet or Teams with a notetaker in the room. Scored, with a full report.
Covers the copilot, the notes and the transcript. A recruiter can also silent-listen to a live AI round and take over.
Note-taker botCandidates write prompts for real tasks. Scored on 8 dimensions, including prompt quality and iteration strategy.
Sorted by category and level, technical or non-technical, with a set number of attempts per question. Runs under proctoring.
A sandboxed problem that runs against hidden test cases. Scored on correctness, efficiency and code quality.
Language picker, line-numbered editor, custom stdin, per-case runtimes in milliseconds and a complexity verdict.
Coding testsStart instant meeting opens a room for a call that was never booked. A calendar note-taker joins external calls already on the books, 2 credits each. You can also score a call you have already run by uploading the recording.
Instant meetingsEthan is the AI interviewer inside Expert Hire. Ethan runs the round the moment a candidate is ready, at any hour, for every applicant, and hands your team a scored reportcard with the transcript behind it.
Ethan asks, listens, and follows up on what the candidate actually said. A thin answer gets probed. A specific one gets pushed further. It is a conversation, not a fixed list, so two candidates in the same round do not get the same interview.
The candidate speaks their answers the way they would to a person. Ethan handles the introduction, the questions and the follow-ups, and the whole session is recorded and transcribed.
You pick the skills and set a weightage, and you set up the job description. Ethan scores answers against both, so the round measures the role you are actually hiring for.
English, Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Tagalog and Arabic, so a candidate can interview in the language they think in.
Pick a role and a language and Ethan will interview you for five minutes. It is the fastest way to judge whether the questions are good enough for your funnel.
No credit card, and nothing to install.
Four surfaces make up the platform: where you build a round, what the candidate sits in, what comes back, and where a recruiter works. These are the real screens. The data in them is invented.
Step 1 of 4 in the round builder, on Round 4 of a job. All five round types are on screen with AI Interview selected. Round Configuration, Questions and Workflow follow. On a job with workflow off the builder is two steps.
A proctored Coding Test in progress. A Coin Change problem, a Python editor, a live timer, a Proctored banner counting tab switches, and a result panel showing 5 of 5 passed with a runtime on every case.
One candidate, one report. An overall score with a fit chip and a verdict line, a skill breakdown scored from transcript and code, the full recording, a searchable transcript, and a malpractice status. Share and Download PDF sit in the header.
The dashboard a recruiter opens. Interviews this week, average time to shortlist, how many reports are awaiting review, a week of scheduled slots, and a Start instant meeting button.
This is the whole sequence. The only step that needs a calendar is the one where you want a person in the room.
Title, location and the job description. You can paste your own JD, upload a file, or have one drafted and accept it. Then you pick the skills for the job and give each one a weightage. Skills can be suggested for you, split into must-have and good-to-have, and you review them before they save.
Four steps: Basic Details, Round Configuration, Questions, Workflow. Pick which of the five types this stage is, set the difficulty, write the questions or have them generated, then set the score cutoffs on the Workflow step. Turn Enable workflow off on the job and the builder drops to two steps. Rounds are numbered inside the job, so a pipeline is Round 1 through Round 6 in the order you want.
Add candidates one at a time, upload resumes in bulk, pull them from the built-in ATS board, or sync from Greenhouse. Each one gets a link. Nothing to install for a standard round, and nothing to schedule for an AI round.
An AI Interview runs 24/7 and in the candidate's language, so an applicant eight timezones away can start at nine at night. A Coding Test runs in a browser sandbox. A Human-Led Interview is a live call, hosted here or on Zoom, Meet or Teams with a notetaker in the room.
The session is recorded and transcribed. Code runs against hidden test cases. Answers are scored against the skills you weighted and the JD you set up, and follow-up questions adapt to what the candidate says. Integrity signals are attached to the report, not acted on.
Reports land in an Awaiting your review queue. A person opens the report, plays the moment in question, reads the transcript, and decides. Shortlisting moves the candidate to the next round. A round can carry Auto-reject and Auto-advance cutoffs on the score. Both are off by default, so unless you turn one on, every candidate waits in manual review for a person.
The next stage is another round on the same candidate record, scored against the same skills and the same JD. By the final round you are comparing one person across screening, code and conversation.
A recruiter's day on the platformEvery round produces one share-ready reportcard. Every number on it traces back to something you can open and read.
With a verdict line, a fit chip such as Strong fit for role, and the round number and name it came from.
One number per skill, scored from the transcript and the code, against the weightage you set on that skill.
Played back inside the report, so you can jump to the moment behind a number.
Speaker separated, with All, Candidate and Interviewer filters, so you can read one side on its own.
What was and was not flagged during the round, next to the evidence rather than in a separate tool.
One file you can send to a hiring manager or a client. Reports and insights are never metered.
The AI runs the round and writes it up. It does not hire anyone. Recruiters can drop into a live session, move a candidate the score did not favour, or ignore the score after watching the recording.
Two things break AI-assisted hiring: not knowing who really sat the round, and not being able to explain a decision to a regulator or a rejected candidate. Both get the same answer. Collect the evidence, put a person in front of it.
We detect known AI-assistant overlay tools, signs of impersonation and tab switching during a live round, plus post-interview video analysis. Every signal goes to a human reviewer, next to the transcript and the code.
Browser proctoring for low-stakes rounds. A desktop app for strict rounds, which bundles video, the code editor and security monitoring in one place. Proctoring adds no credits to an assessment and unlocks at Growth and Scale.
Encryption in transit and at rest. Role-based access control. Audit logs on every action. GDPR-ready with DPAs and right to erasure. Single-tenant separation, no shared candidate pool. SSO and SAML are on the roadmap. SOC 2 and ISO are in progress.
Scoring is EEOC-aware. Every score ties back to a transcript and to code, which is what an audit or a challenged rejection asks for. Nothing has to be reconstructed later.
What each rule asks for, and how Expert Hire lines up against it.
The same rounds and the same scoring run all four sides of the platform. A student practises on the exact surface an employer uses, and a campus sees readiness in the same numbers a recruiter hires on.
Screening, interviews and coding tests on one pipeline. Use the built-in ATS board as your own, or connect the ATS you have. Reportcards land in a review queue instead of a shared doc.
For companiesEach client company gets its own jobs, pipeline and skills. A clients board tracks accounts through Prospect, Briefing, Active and Paused. Placements, fees and per-recruiter output sit in the same place.
For staffing firmsA free placement ERP for drives, students, companies and offers, plus a cohort readiness dashboard, per-student practice and exportable reports the placement cell can hand to a recruiter.
For universitiesUnlimited AI mock interviews targeted at a company and round, coding tests, resume feedback, prompt practice, a question bank and a psychometric work-style profile. Prep Credit packs, no subscription.
For job seekersEach of these takes one part of the platform end to end.
