How AI is used
Kandidate is a talent acquisition service that combines AI sourcing with human review to provide a shortlist of candidates. Instead of percentage-based fees common with recruiting agencies, it operates on a flat monthly fee or a one-time pilot cost.
The platform is designed for startups and mid-market companies that need to fill roles and wish to reduce the time spent screening resumes. It searches various data providers and hiring platforms to find active and passive talent.
Kandidate handles the initial sourcing and screening, including conversational voice screens. Experienced recruiters then verify these profiles to ensure they meet the role criteria before they are passed to the hiring team for interviews.
Buyers should confirm which plan fits their current hiring volume, as the number of concurrent roles varies by tier.
