Introducing Candidate Audit: Your AI Hiring Committee
We built the tool we wished existed when hiring for our own startups. Meet your new AI hiring committee - up to 10 expert perspectives in 30 minutes.
Introducing Candidate Audit: Your AI Hiring Committee
We've all been there. You've interviewed a dozen candidates, narrowed it down to your top two or three, and now you're staring at resumes trying to make a decision that could define your company's next chapter.
The stakes are enormous. A bad hire costs an average of $240,000 when you factor in salary, lost productivity, team disruption, and the time spent starting over. For a startup, that's not just money - it's runway. It's the difference between making it and not.
We built Candidate Audit because we needed it ourselves.
The Problem with Traditional Hiring
Most hiring decisions come down to gut feel. You read the resume, conduct interviews, maybe check a reference or two, and then... you guess. Even experienced hiring managers admit they're often uncertain about their choices.
The tools that exist today don't help much:
- Generic AI chatbots give you surface-level summaries without real analysis
- Recruiting firms cost thousands and take weeks
- Background checks tell you what someone did, not what they can do
We wanted something different. We wanted an AI system that could analyze candidates the way a panel of expert advisors would - from multiple angles, with different perspectives, asking tough questions we might not think to ask.
What We Built: Your AI Hiring Committee
Candidate Audit assembles a virtual committee of specialized AI agents, each trained to evaluate candidates from a distinct expert perspective:
The 5 Core Agents (Standard)
- The Pragmatist - Evaluates practical skills, hands-on experience, and immediate productivity potential
- The Culture Vulture - Assesses values alignment, work style compatibility, and team fit
- The Devil's Advocate - Identifies risks, red flags, and areas needing further investigation
- The Investigator - Verifies claims, checks timeline consistency, and spots discrepancies
- The Customer Obsessed - Evaluates user empathy, product thinking, and stakeholder focus
Premium Adds 5 More Agents (10 Total)
- The Visionary - Strategic thinking, innovation potential, and growth trajectory
- The Strategist - Long-term organizational impact and career trajectory fit
- Startup Hustle - Resourcefulness, velocity, and ability to thrive in ambiguity
- Multi-Hat Versatility - Cross-functional capabilities and adaptability
- Speed to Impact - Ability to deliver results quickly and independently
Each agent analyzes the candidate independently, then they come together to form a consensus recommendation. You see exactly why each agent reached their conclusion - no black boxes.
How It Works
The process is simple:
-
Upload candidate materials (2 minutes) - Resume, cover letter, portfolio links, interview notes. The more context, the better the analysis.
-
AI agents analyze (30 minutes) - Our agents independently evaluate the candidate, then synthesize their findings into a cohesive assessment.
-
Get your recommendation (instant clarity) - A comprehensive report with a clear hire/don't hire recommendation, key strengths, critical risks, and specific questions to ask in follow-up interviews.
That's it. In 30 minutes, you go from uncertainty to a decision-ready assessment backed by multiple expert perspectives.
Why We're Different
Transparent reasoning. Every score, every concern, every recommendation comes with an explanation. You can see exactly why The Devil's Advocate flagged that job gap, or why The Pragmatist gave high marks for technical skills.
Pay per decision, not per month. We don't believe in subscriptions for something you might use twice a year. You pay when you need us - one hiring decision at a time.
Built for founders. We're not trying to replace enterprise recruiting software. We built this for founders and small teams making critical hires in the $80K-$250K range - the roles that can make or break your company.
