Eightfold AI today unveiled a new generation of agentic AI technology built to transform high-volume recruiting into a deeply personalized, instant, and intelligent experience. Eightfold Recruiter Agent architecture empowers enterprises to engage, evaluate, and advance talent autonomously—with the warmth and precision of a human concierge (see demo video).
Key innovations include:
- AI Interviewer: Candidates can move from application to interview in a single click—24/7. These voice-led, structured conversations run in parallel, delivering bias-aware feedback and real-time match scoring, and offer instant coverage without compromising fairness.
- Candidate Concierge Agent: A smart, SMS-based assistant that replies to applicants the moment they apply—answering questions, sending reminders, guiding them through stages, and enabling smooth, personalized support—all via text messages.
- Upcoming Agent Extensions: Future Eightfold releases will include sourcing and engagement agents that proactively discover, qualify, and nudge candidates—enabling high-volume operations at scale without increasing headcount.
Deployments of Eightfold Recruiter Agent have already yielded up to 50% more candidate coverage and four hours saved per role, while preserving the candidate-first tone and accountability of a professional hiring team.
“This is intelligent agents in action,” said Varun Kacholia, Co-founder and CTO of Eightfold AI. “Recruiter Agent launches candidate journeys in real-time, guides them with concierge-level insight, and shifts to deep evaluation when nuance demands it—delivering speed, personalization, and fairness at scale.”
Sapia.ai, the pioneer in AI-native hiring, today announced the launch of its Skills Intelligence API, a developer-first integration that embeds its science-backed skills intelligence directly into any system.
With this launch, Sapia.ai expands from a standalone platform into the independent intelligence layer for the HR tech ecosystem. Any ATS, CRM, job board, or enterprise system can now embed Sapia.ai’s conversational interviews, explainable scoring, and real-time candidate insights in minutes, not months.
Unlike inference tools that guess at skills from résumés or scraped data, Sapia.ai measures skills directly. Built on the world’s largest structured interview dataset — over 7 million interviews and 3 billion words of candidate language — the API powers validated, explainable, and bias-mitigated skills intelligence. Every new candidate compounds this dataset, creating a moat no competitor can replicate.
