Outstaffer Debuts AI Recruiter Powered by ‘Anna,’ the Conversational AI That Interviews Like a Human

Outstaffer, the end-to-end AI Recruitment, HR, and Employer of Record (EOR) platform, has officially launched Outstaffer AI Recruiter, a fully managed hiring solution powered by Anna — its advanced conversational AI designed to conduct natural, human-like job interviews at scale.

Developed after analyzing tens of thousands of AI interviews across APAC over the last 12 months, Anna has demonstrated the ability to screen inbound applicants, perform structured interviews, evaluate responses, score candidates, and generate validated shortlists significantly faster than traditional hiring methods. Throughout the process, human recruiters remain involved for oversight and final validation.

By combining AI-powered interviewing with expert recruiter review, Outstaffer AI Recruiter automates up to 90% of the recruitment workflow — from initial application processing and first-round interviews to candidate ranking and shortlist creation. Organizations receive a fully vetted shortlist in 4–7 days, saving 15–20+ hours per hire while ensuring each applicant is treated fairly and consistently.

“Most companies are drowning in hundreds of inbound applications or spending too much on recruitment agencies,” said Thomas Derum, Founder and CEO of Outstaffer.
“Outstaffer AI Recruiter solves this. Anna interviews, assesses, and ranks every candidate, while our recruiters verify each result. Hiring managers only speak to AI-assessed and recruiter-approved finalists. No endless CV reviews. No screening calls. Just meaningful final interviews with top candidates — and zero software setup required.”

Candidates benefit as well: every applicant receives an interview, an outcome, and a timely response, creating a more respectful and transparent hiring experience.

Meet Anna: The Conversational AI Interviewer

At the core of Outstaffer AI Recruiter is Anna, a conversational AI trained to conduct interviews that mirror those of an experienced recruiter. Anna engages candidates with follow-up questions, adjusts her tone and pacing based on responses, and conducts structured interviews around the clock — across time zones and countries.

Independent research covering 70,000+ applicants revealed strong candidate preference and improved hiring outcomes when AI-driven interviews are paired with human oversight:

• 78% of candidates preferred the AI interviewer when given a choice

• 71% positive feedback on AI interviews vs. 52% for traditional human interviews

• +12% increase in job offers

• +18% more job starts

• +17% higher 30-day retention

• 45% fewer reports of gender-based discrimination

• 92.6% candidate acceptance rate with a Net Promoter Score of 8.97

Each interview conducted by Anna is recorded, transcribed, and analyzed across 100+ skill indicators — including critical thinking, CEFR language proficiency, and customer service capability. Outstaffer recruiters then review and verify all AI-collected insights before delivering a final ranked shortlist to hiring teams.

With this launch, Outstaffer brings together the scalability of AI, the insight of human recruiters, and the simplicity of a fully managed hiring service — helping companies hire faster, fairer, and smarter without the complexity of new software or training.
