Textio has introduced Lavalier, a new interview intelligence platform designed to help recruiting teams conduct more structured interviews and make faster, data-driven hiring decisions. The company said the platform is free to start and offers transparent, scalable pricing for organizations looking to improve the quality and efficiency of their hiring processes.
According to Colleen Gallagher, hiring expectations are rapidly evolving as artificial intelligence and shifting business priorities redefine the skills companies need. However, many organizations still rely on traditional interview practices that often lead to inconsistent evaluations, subjective decision-making, and limited evidence about a candidate’s capabilities. Lavalier was created to address these challenges by bringing structure, automation, and actionable insights to the interview process.

The platform helps recruiting teams align on role requirements before interviews begin. By identifying the competencies and behaviors most relevant to a role, Lavalier ensures that hiring managers and interviewers focus on evaluating the qualities that truly impact performance. This approach helps organizations design interview processes that better surface high-potential candidates.
Lavalier also simplifies interviewer preparation. The system automatically generates structured interview guides, assigns interviewers, and suggests tailored questions based on the role and competencies being evaluated. This automation reduces the time recruiters spend preparing interviewers and ensures every interview gathers meaningful evidence, regardless of the interviewer’s experience level.

During interviews, Lavalier provides AI-driven prompts and guidance in real time. These features help interviewers stay focused on evaluating relevant skills rather than drifting into unstructured conversations or relying on personal impressions. By guiding interviewers through the conversation and capturing notes automatically, the platform allows them to concentrate on engaging with candidates rather than managing administrative tasks.
Beyond capturing transcripts, Lavalier synthesizes insights from multiple interviews to help hiring teams compare candidates more effectively. The platform aggregates feedback and highlights the evidence that supports hiring decisions, enabling teams to identify which candidates truly raise the hiring bar.
Industry leaders have already highlighted the platform’s impact. Angela Martin noted that Lavalier helped track questions and suggest new ones during interviews while automatically generating notes and recordings afterward. Meanwhile, Aileen Lee emphasized that the platform helps organizations reduce administrative overhead while improving the accuracy and efficiency of hiring decisions.
