Octane human resources

AI hiring, with people in charge.

Seven agents take a Principal Consultant role from resume to recommendation: screening, a voice interview, evaluation and learning. Agents gather the evidence, code applies the rules, and a person makes every hiring decision.

How a candidate flows

Resume in. Recommendation out.

Every step below runs in the portal, and every step is written to a hash-chained audit trail.

01

Screen

Resume Screening Agent

Reads an anonymised resume and quotes evidence for each criterion. Code shortlists, rejects or asks HR to decide.

02

Schedule

Interview Scheduling Agent

One click books the interview and creates a private link and calendar invite.

03

Invite

Notification Agent

Emails the candidate the time, what to expect and their interview link.

04

Interview

AI Interviewer

A voice-only interview in the browser, from the interview guide, with questions about the candidate's own resume.

05

Evaluate

Interview Evaluation Agent

Scores each area 1 to 4 in the candidate's own words. Code applies the hiring bar.

06

Decide

A person

HR advances or declines. Declined candidates are emailed reasons only when HR clicks Send.

07

Learn

Learning Agent

Writes short lessons that improve the next screening and interview. HR can switch any lesson off.

In the portal

What you'll see.

Walk a candidate from upload to decision, or replay a demo interview.

The daily view

Today's Shortlisted, HR to decide and Rejected lists, each with reasons quoted from the resume. One click schedules an interview.

The candidate file

Resume, evidence, interviews, the MP3 recording, the transcript, every email and every agent run, in one place.

The voice interview

The AI Interviewer talks with the candidate out loud, follows up, and keeps to time. No typing, no scheduling back and forth.

Demo interviews

A Candidate Simulator plays one of five scripted candidates against the real AI Interviewer, so you can present without being interviewed.

Hiring Agent

Ask the hiring file in plain English: "why was Stuart rejected?" It advises; it never shortlists, schedules or hires.

Learning and audit

Lessons the agents have learned, each one switchable, and a hash-chained trail of every step, decision, email and click.

Built-in rules

Fast hiring. Fair hiring.

These rules are in the code, not in a prompt, so no agent can talk its way around them.

01

Agents gather evidence. Code decides.

Shortlist, reject and the interview recommendation are applied in code from the job description and the interview guide.

02

A person makes every hiring decision.

Only HR can advance or decline a candidate, and only from the portal.

03

Every reason has evidence.

Quotes are checked against the resume and transcript. A claim with no real evidence is dropped or capped.

04

No protected attributes.

Agents never see names, age, nationality or gender, and the interviewer never asks about them.
