The AI avatar

The talking AI recruiting assistant takes care of the initial dialogue with all your applicants.

Invite all candidates to a unique and personalized interview where they can show more of their personality. The avatar guides candidates through a 20-minute-long conversation that includes classic screening questions that you have selected, personality statements, and questions about behavior. 

How it works

The Tengai avatar is the interface between our recruitment platform, Tengai Recruiting Hub, and our candidate platform Tengai Talent Hub. Making it possible for recruiters to screen candidates in a more efficient and unbiased way. At the same time, job seekers feel in control over their data and can see how Tengai has interpreted their personalities.
