And one human.

The five agents run the queue. A Novexhire recruiter reads the ranked shortlist, overrides anything the rubric got wrong, and signs it off. No candidate advances or gets rejected on a model score alone.

How we govern it

How it runs — 03

One requisition, five stages, no queue.

The order matters. Rediscovery runs before sourcing spend, and qualification runs before anyone books a recruiter's calendar.

  1. 01

    Rediscover

    TalentGraph

    Before a dollar goes to job boards, TalentGraph scores every profile you already own against the new requisition. Recruiters get a ranked internal shortlist, with availability re-confirmed by an automated check-in, usually on the day the role opens.

  2. 02

    Source

    Beacon Sourcing

    Beacon turns the requisition into live queries and works job boards, public profiles, and community sites continuously. New matches are deduplicated against your database, then queued for outreach with a first message written from their actual background.

  3. 03

    Qualify

    Signal Screening

    Everyone who applies or replies enters a WhatsApp or SMS thread that works the knockout criteria in their own language. Qualified candidates self-schedule on the spot, and the rest get a clear reason plus an opt-in to stay in TalentGraph.

  4. 04

    Connect

    Voice Outreach

    Candidates who prefer a phone call, or who go quiet on chat, get a live AI call that confirms interest, compensation, and timing. Anything outside the script transfers warm to a human recruiter on the same call.

  5. 05

    Interview and score

    Nova Recruiter

    The structured interview runs on the candidate's schedule and produces a transcript scored against the requisition rubric. Recruiters review ranked results with the supporting evidence attached, then make the hiring call themselves.

Each stage writes to the same candidate record, so the recruiter reviewing the shortlist sees the chat thread, the call summary and the scored interview in one place.

Why it works — 04

Built for the shape of high-volume hiring.

  • Thirty-two languages, one pipeline

    Every agent screens, calls, and interviews in 32 languages, including regional Spanish, Tagalog, and Portuguese variants. Scores stay comparable across languages because the rubric is applied to the meaning of an answer, not its wording.

  • Rubric scoring on every answer

    Each response is scored against a fixed, requisition-specific rubric with the supporting clip or transcript line attached. Two candidates for the same role are always evaluated on the same criteria, in the same order.

  • Bias controls built in

    Demographic proxies are stripped before scoring, models are audited for adverse impact, and every automated decision carries a written reason. The platform produces the disclosure and audit artifacts expected under NYC Local Law 144 and the EU AI Act.

  • Omnichannel by default

    Chat, SMS, voice, email, and video run off one candidate record and one shared conversation state. A candidate can start on WhatsApp, finish on a phone call, and never repeat themselves.

  • Rediscovery before net-new sourcing

    TalentGraph searches the candidates you already paid to acquire before Beacon spends anything on new sourcing. Across our high-volume clients, roughly two in five hires come from profiles that were already in the system.

  • Automated pipeline, human decision

    The five agents run sourcing, screening, outreach, interviewing, and scoring without a recruiter working the queue. The hiring decision is never automated: a Novexhire recruiter reviews the ranked shortlist and signs off before a candidate moves forward.

The alternative — 05

Adding recruiters does not scale. Agents do.

Traditional agency plus manual screening

18% to 25% of first year salary, per hire

  • Time to first shortlist: 9 to 14 days after the req opens
  • Applicant coverage: recruiters read the first 10 to 15% of resumes, the rest time out
  • Availability: screening happens in business hours, in one time zone
  • Scoring: every recruiter carries a different rubric, and scores drift by the afternoon
  • Past applicants: silver medalists sit in an ATS nobody searches again
  • Audit trail: notes scattered across inboxes, spreadsheets, and phone calls

Novexhire

Flat platform fee, from $575 per month

  • Time to first shortlist: 72 hours or less, most teams see it sooner
  • Applicant coverage: 100% of applicants screened, ranked, and answered
  • Availability: agents screen 24/7, with recruiters on shift across five offices
  • Scoring: one rubric per role, applied the same way to candidate 1 and candidate 900
  • Past applicants: TalentGraph resurfaces prior applicants against every new req
  • Audit trail: every question, score, and decision logged and exportable

What talent leaders say after a quarter.

Signal Screening handles WhatsApp pre-qualification for about 9,000 applicants a month, so recruiters only open profiles that already cleared the shift and voice-fitness checks. Our seat-fill time for the November ramp went from 21 days to 8. Recruiters still make the offer call, and that part was never up for negotiation.

Rhea Villanueva

VP of Talent Acquisition, Vantail Global Services

Manila, Philippines

Voice Outreach calls every CDL applicant within four minutes, including at 2am on a Sunday. We were losing drivers to other carriers inside the first hour, and now we book roughly 340 phone screens a week without adding a single recruiter. Orientation show rate is up 19 points.

Dale Whitcomb

Director of Driver Recruiting, Harborline Logistics

Memphis, Tennessee

TalentGraph surfaced 1,700 nurses who applied to us in the last two years and never heard back. Forty-one of them are working our floors today. That is a travel-contract line item we simply stopped paying.

Charmaine Boateng

Chief People Officer, Cordera Health Network

Cleveland, Ohio

We hire about 6,000 seasonal associates between September and November across 214 stores. Nova Recruiter builds the structured interview straight from the job description, scores it, and hands each store manager a ranked five. Manager interview time per hire dropped from 45 minutes to 12.

Andre Boykin

Director of Store Staffing, Trellis Home & Hardware

Charlotte, North Carolina

Beacon Sourcing has the first slate built before our recruiters even open the req. On light-industrial roles we are submitting to clients in under six hours, and our submit-to-interview ratio moved from 1 in 7 to 1 in 3. The scoring audit log matters too, because every client now asks us about Local Law 144.

Three teams, three different bottlenecks.

Business Process Outsourcing

Filling 4,200 BPO seats a quarter without adding recruiters

Vantail Global Services

Vantail staffs 14 contact center campuses and takes ramps of 1,200 seats with six weeks of notice. Applications arrived faster than 31 recruiters could dial, and 58 percent of them sat untouched for more than two days.

Four-minute driver callbacks replaced a 26-hour response gap

Harborline Logistics

Harborline recruits 2,600 CDL-A drivers a year across 19 terminals, and most drivers apply to four carriers in one sitting. Median callback time was 26 hours, by which point the driver had usually accepted somewhere else.

Questions — 09

The things buyers actually ask.

Something not covered? Write to hello@novexhire.com and a person will answer.

What exactly is Novexhire?

Novexhire is two things under one contract: an AI talent acquisition platform and a recruitment agency. The platform gives your team five AI agents that source, screen, interview, and score candidates for IT roles. The agency side puts Novexhire recruiters on your requisitions when you would rather hand the whole search over. Most customers start with one and add the other within a quarter. We were founded in 2021 and work with U.S. hiring teams from offices in Austin, Chicago, Bogota, Madrid, and Manila.

How do the AI interviews actually work?

You paste a job description into Nova Recruiter and it generates a structured interview: competencies, questions, follow-ups, and a scoring rubric. Candidates take it on their own schedule by video or voice, and the agent asks live follow-up questions based on what they say. Every answer is transcribed, scored against the rubric, and stored with the recording, so a recruiter can replay any moment. No candidate is rejected on a model score alone. Your recruiter sees the score, the evidence behind it, and the full transcript before making the call.

Does Novexhire replace our recruiters?

No. It removes the parts of the job that scale badly: resume triage, first-round screens, scheduling, follow-ups, and rediscovery of past applicants. Recruiting teams using Novexhire spend that time on hiring manager alignment, offer strategy, and closing instead. A human always makes the advance or reject decision on a shortlisted candidate, and every automated score is reviewable with its supporting evidence. If you use our agency service, that human is a Novexhire recruiter working your req.

How do you handle bias and hiring compliance?

Scoring is tied to job-related competencies defined in the requisition, not to inferred traits, and the agents do not consider protected characteristics. We run adverse impact analysis on scoring outputs every quarter and commission an independent bias audit annually, aligned to NYC Local Law 144. Candidates are told when they are interacting with an AI agent and can request human review at any point, which supports EU AI Act transparency duties for high-risk hiring systems. EEOC guidance on selection procedures shapes how our rubrics are built and validated. Audit records, rubric versions, and model versions export on demand for your legal team.

Will Novexhire work with our ATS?

Yes. We ship native two-way integrations with Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, SAP SuccessFactors, and BambooHR, so candidates, stages, and scorecards stay in sync in both directions. There is also a REST API with webhooks, plus Zapier for lighter workflows. Job distribution and applicant ingestion run through Indeed and LinkedIn, and recruiter notifications land in Slack or Microsoft Teams. If your ATS is not on that list, our team scopes a connector during implementation.

What languages do the agents support?

Nova Recruiter, Signal Screening, and Voice Outreach operate in 32 languages, with production-tuned quality in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Tagalog, French, German, and Polish. Candidates can switch language mid-conversation, and transcripts are stored in both the original language and English so your team reviews a single thread. Voice Outreach matches regional speech patterns for U.S. English and Latin American Spanish. Our Bogota, Madrid, and Manila teams review every localized rubric before it goes live.

How long does implementation take?

Most teams run their first AI interview within 14 days of kickoff. Week one covers the ATS connection, single sign-on, and syncing the candidate history your ATS already exposes into TalentGraph. Week two is rubric calibration: we build scoring criteria on three to five live requisitions and tune them with your hiring managers. Full migration of a legacy applicant archive is part of an Enterprise rollout, as are custom connectors and EU data residency, which run closer to 30 days. You get a named implementation lead for the entire process, not a ticket queue.

How is candidate data secured?

Data is encrypted with TLS 1.3 in transit and AES-256 at rest, including interview video, audio, and transcripts. Access is role-based and scoped to the requisition, with SSO through Okta or your own identity provider and mandatory MFA on every Novexhire staff account. We are SOC 2 Type II audited and ISO 27001 certified, and EU customer data can be kept on EU-hosted infrastructure. Candidate records follow your retention policy, defaulting to 24 months, with one-click deletion for GDPR and CCPA requests. We do not use customer or candidate data to train foundation models.
