The hiring math is brutal

Great candidates don't wait. Neither does Kaia.

Every day a great candidate sits in your pipeline, the odds they take another offer climb. Recruiters spend 60–70% of their week on first-round calls to screen people out — not in. Kaia runs the same structured conversation, around the clock. You get back the thing that matters: who's worth meeting.

How it works

Three steps. Zero recruiter coordination.

You don't change your ATS. You don't change your rubric. You don't change your team.

01 · Instant interview

Application → Instant interview.

Provide a Kaia interview for every application you receive, or send a link to those you want to interview.

02 · Screen

Up to a 30-minute structured interview.

Behavioral, situational, and role-specific questions. Kaia probes deeper on weak answers and skips the obvious yeses — just like your best recruiter would.

03 · Ranked shortlist

Scored. Tagged. Routed.

Every call comes back with rubric scores, a transcript, audio, hire/no-hire recommendation, and red-flag tags. The best candidates jump the line — automatically.

See it in action

A real Kaia interview, end to end.

This is what your hiring team sees on call day: live transcript, live rubric scoring, full audio, and every moment Kaia flagged as worth re-listening to.

Tell me about a time you had to redirect a class without raising your voice.
02:23Maria
Last spring with a 4th grade math class. Two students were arguing over a worksheet. I knelt down between them and asked each one to explain what they thought was unfair…
04:01Kaiaprobed
Smart — what happened once you got them talking instead of yelling?
04:11Maria
They actually agreed within two minutes. I learned that day that volume is rarely the answer — curiosity usually is.
06:42Kaia
If a parent emailed asking why their child was "falling behind" under your sub coverage, how would you respond?
06:51Maria
I'd acknowledge the concern in writing within 24 hours, copy the lead teacher, share what I observed in class, and propose a specific next step — never defensive, always specific.

What's inside

Built by recruiters. Trained on 6,373 real screening calls.

Kaia isn't a generic voice agent with a system prompt. It's the operating layer behind HelloSubs' own hiring team — and now ready to plug into yours.

Up to 30-min structured calls

Voice-native, low-latency, naturally conversational. Kaia probes follow-ups, handles tangents, and keeps the rubric on rails.

Voice AI

Bring your own scoring matrix or start with our K-12, ECE, and camp-tested defaults. Edit live, see the score change.

Custom scoring

Drops into your ATS

Native connectors for Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, Bullhorn, and Zoho Recruit — plus webhooks for everything else — are coming soon. For now, Kaia runs standalone and hands you the ranked shortlist.

Coming soon

Red-flag detection

Inconsistencies, gaps, evasive answers, license issues. Kaia tags them so you can see them before the candidate walks in your door.

Risk surface

Live analytics

Funnel health, pass rates by question, score drift, consistency checks. See where Kaia is being too lenient or too strict — and tune in one click.

Insights

White-label optional

Kaia, your name, your voice. Or run her as-is. Either way, candidates get a faster, more human-feeling first impression.

Enterprise
vs. the alternatives

Already evaluating VideoAsk or InterviewStream?

Most async video tools were built for a different era — one-way recordings, manual review, brutal drop-off. Kaia is a live two-way AI conversation graded on your rubric, with the shortlist delivered before your recruiter opens Slack.

Graded on your rubric — or ours

Stop debating the “feel” of a candidate. Score the conversation.

Hiring managers and recruiters argue about candidates because they're working from different notes. Kaia ends the debate. Every call is scored against the same rubric, the same way, every time — with the transcript and audio as receipts.

  • Build your rubric or let us customize it.
  • Weight categories any way you want: reliability 40%, communication 25%, classroom mgmt 35%.
  • See the exact moment in the transcript that earned every score.
  • Calibrate against your past best hires — Kaia learns what “good” looks like for you.
  • Consistent by design: the same approved questions for every candidate, with a person making the final call.

Who Kaia works for

Built for high-volume hiring. Now used everywhere screening kills throughput.

K-12 districts & charters

Substitute pools, paraprofessionals, aides. Get to "yes" before another district does.

Early childhood & ECE

High-volume, high-turnover hiring. Bilingual screens. Background-aware question flows.

Summer camps & seasonal

Hire 200 counselors in 6 weeks without burning out your director.

Any high-volume role

Healthcare aides, retail, hospitality, field service. If you're screening >50 applicants/week, Kaia pays for herself by Tuesday.

We went from 17-day average time-to-hire to 4 days. My recruiter is spending time with the most qualified candidates. The best part? Candidates actually enjoy the call and appreciate the opportunity to interview immediately.

FAQ

Questions we get every week.

Questions? Book 20 minutes with our team →

How long does setup actually take?

Most teams are live in 3–5 business days. Bring your rubric (or use ours) and your top questions, and we handle the rest. (Native ATS integrations are coming soon — for now Kaia runs standalone and hands back a ranked shortlist.) Enterprise white-label takes 2–3 weeks.

Do candidates know they're talking to AI?

Yes — disclosure happens up front. Candidates consistently rate the experience 4.8/5, and many tell us it's the most thoughtful first conversation they've had in a job search. Transparency drives trust, and we've seen it lift completion rates, not hurt them.

How do you keep screening fair?

Fairness is built into how Kaia works, not bolted on. Every candidate for a role gets the same approved set of questions, every score traces back to what the candidate actually said against a rubric you approve, and a person on your team makes every final decision — Kaia only pre-screens and recommends. Candidates give clear consent before anything records, any video we capture is for your team to review and is never run through facial or emotion analysis, and we apply a single, strict consent-and-data standard across every state. Accommodation requests and an accessible interview option are supported.

What if I already have a screening process I love?

Perfect — give us your rubric and your top 5 questions, and Kaia runs your process. We don't replace your judgment, we replace the hours. Your team still owns every hire decision.

How do you price calls that drop off mid-screen?

You only pay for completed screens (we define "completed" as ≥70% of the rubric covered). Drop-offs, no-shows, and Kaia-flagged invalid calls are free.

Is this just ChatGPT with a phone number?

No. Kaia is a purpose-built screening agent with structured rubric grounding, latency-tuned voice stack, role-specific question libraries, a consent-and-fairness layer, and human-in-the-loop QA on every model update. We've run it on 6,373 real calls inside HelloSubs before opening it up.

Stop watching great candidates ghost you while you play phone tag.

Book 20 minutes with our team. We'll run Kaia on three of your real applicants in front of you — and you'll have your shortlist before the call ends.
