Sapia

Candidate Assessment / AI

Smarten up your interview process with Sapia. When you’ve got a panel of interviewers, each person involved can focus on one element to report back on I.e. Personality / culture fit, communication or technical ability. Sapia’s text based interview format uses NLP to do all of that for you. Lets take a deeper look.

🚀 What is it and how does it work? In there own words; Sapia.ai is at the forefront of AI-fuelled disruption across all aspects of HR. Sapia.ai identifies undiscovered talent in a truly unique way – by looking beyond the resume to the true human potential of every applicant.

Sapia allows you to screen and interview a large number of candidates all at once through a text chat platform. You start by setting up what you’re looking for in a candidate and then the tools creates an interview with the questions that will best qualify the candidates for that role. You share the link via your job add and the candidates are invited to complete the automated screening in their own time. You will be sent the curated list of candidates (powered by AI) who complete the screen interview for you to decide on who to progress through to the next round.

The product leverages the transformative power of machine learning to solve age-old business problems like high turnover while also assuring a fair and unbiased experience that naturally brings diversity to the forefront. The core component of the company’s innovation is its Smart Chat(™) which empowers and gives agency to hiring managers and TA professionals while delivering an experience that everyone can trust and love

💡 Who is it for? This tool makes sense for anyone involved in high volume hiring and possibly for lower level roles that have shorter interview process. We think it would fit well for industries like, retail, supply chain and warehousing, contact centres and entry level or graduate hiring.

💸 How much does it cost? Pricing not publicly available.
