Eightfold AI Unveils AI Interviewer to Accelerate Fair and Efficient Hiring

Eightfold AI, a global leader in AI-driven talent intelligence, has introduced its latest innovation: the Eightfold AI Interviewer. This cutting-edge tool is designed to transform how organizations identify, engage, and assess candidates, enabling both large enterprises and small-to-medium businesses to streamline hiring with the precision and warmth of a human recruiter.

Recruiters often spend weeks coordinating initial interviews and reviewing applications, leaving many qualified candidates unnoticed. The challenge is amplified in high-volume hiring scenarios, shift-based roles, and organizations facing strict compliance requirements. Eightfold AI Interviewer eliminates these inefficiencies by automating candidate engagement and evaluation while maintaining fairness and personalization.

“AI Interviewer exemplifies intelligent agents at work,” said Varun Kacholia, Co-founder and CTO of Eightfold AI. “It initiates candidate journeys in real-time, provides guidance akin to a concierge, and switches to in-depth assessment when necessary—delivering speed, fairness, and personalized experiences at scale.”

Recently recognized as one of the Top HR Tech Products of 2025 by HR Executive and the HR Tech Conference, AI Interviewer has been lauded for its transparency, recruiter-friendly workflows, and commitment to equitable hiring practices.

Candidate-Centric and Fair

Unlike traditional AI or automated chatbot systems, AI Interviewer emphasizes merit-based evaluation. Candidates are assessed solely on their skills, experience, and abilities—not their appearance, voice, or biometric traits. The platform complies with regulatory standards including New York City’s Local Law 144, Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), and Maryland’s HB 1202.

Supporting over 22 languages and incorporating bias-audited interview models, AI Interviewer helps companies tap into broader and more diverse talent pools. This includes candidates often overlooked in conventional hiring processes, such as veterans, career changers, and professionals returning to work after caregiving or other career breaks.

Speed and Scalability

Organizations can now move from application submission to hiring decision in a matter of hours instead of weeks. AI Interviewer can conduct thousands of structured interviews simultaneously, automatically generating transcripts and summaries for recruiters to review.

Early pilot programs have demonstrated a 90% reduction in time to first interview, enabling hiring teams to focus on engaging with top candidates while maintaining complete oversight of the process.

Enterprise-Grade Security and Compliance

As part of the Eightfold Talent Intelligence Platform, AI Interviewer meets global standards for cloud security, privacy, and data management. The platform holds more third-party certifications than any other HR tech provider, including ISO/IEC 42001:2023, ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, SOC 2 Type II, FedRAMP Moderate, DISA IL4, and GDPR compliance. These safeguards minimize risks from external threats and internal errors, while helping organizations meet regulatory and legal requirements confidently.
