Eightfold AI, a leader in AI-powered talent intelligence, today announced the launch of AI Interviewer, a new capability designed to help organizations engage, evaluate, and advance talent autonomously—all while maintaining the warmth and precision of a human concierge.
The tool addresses a long-standing pain point in recruitment: recruiters spending weeks coordinating first-round interviews while many qualified candidates remain unseen. This is particularly challenging for organizations managing high-volume hiring, compliance requirements, and shift-based roles. AI Interviewer eliminates bottlenecks, enabling faster candidate engagement and fairer, more merit-based decision-making.
“AI Interviewer 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,” said Varun Kacholia, Co-founder and CTO of Eightfold AI.
Human-Centered AI for Fair Hiring
Unlike traditional chatbots, AI Interviewer is designed to be transparent, inclusive, and human-centric. The system evaluates only skills, experiences, and capabilities, ignoring appearance, voice, or biometric signals. This ensures compliance with regulations such as New York City Local Law 144, Illinois BIPA, and Maryland HB 1202.
With 22+ languages supported and bias-audited interview models, organizations can reach more diverse talent pools, including veterans, career switchers, and caregivers returning to work. Early pilots show that AI Interviewer reduces time to first interview by up to 90% while improving candidate satisfaction scores.
Speed, Scale, and Recruiter Efficiency
AI Interviewer can conduct thousands of structured interviews in parallel, automatically generating transcripts and summaries for hiring teams. Recruiters can then focus on building relationships with top candidates while maintaining full oversight of the interview process.
This capability is already recognized as one of the 2025 Top HR Tech Products of the Year by HR Executive and the HR Tech Conference, praised for its seamless integration into recruiter workflows and commitment to ethical AI.
Enterprise-Grade Security and Compliance
As part of the Eightfold Talent Intelligent Platform, AI Interviewer meets global standards for cloud security, privacy, and data handling. The company holds more third-party audited certifications than any other HR tech vendor, including ISO/IEC 42001:2023 for AI management, ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, SOC 2 Type II, FedRAMP Moderate, DISA IL4, and GDPR. These controls protect against both internal and external risks while ensuring regulatory compliance for customers.
By combining speed, fairness, and enterprise-grade security, AI Interviewer positions Eightfold AI as a leader in next-generation, high-volume talent engagement—helping organizations hire faster while promoting equity and inclusion.
