Candidate experience

Candidates actually like it.

Every call opens by telling the candidate they are speaking with AI and that the call is recorded.

They feel less judged

No reading a recruiter's face. More honest answers, better signal.

The questions land

Challenging, role specific questions that make candidates think.

It sounds human

The conversation flows so naturally that candidates often forget it is AI.

"Sara was professional, friendly, and well prepared throughout the screening process. She clearly explained the role, addressed my questions, and made the conversation comfortable and engaging."
Candidate feedback, Onyx interview
"كانت تجربة جديدة ومميزة، مليئة بالاحترافية والوضوح. الحوار لم يكن مجرد أسئلة تقليدية، بل كان نقاشًا عميقًا يهدف إلى فهم خبراتي وطريقة تفكيري."

"Can you call me back?"

Onyx books the callback there and then, and calls at the agreed time.

"I'm busy right now."

A better time is agreed on the spot. No chasing, no calendar ping pong.
