Our story
Why we built Candfit
Candfit began inside a software engineering firm with more strong applicants than engineers to interview them. Senior people spent their weeks on screening calls, and good candidates still waited days for a slot.
So we built an AI interviewer to hold those calls. In an early test, a candidate paused and said, "Hmm, great question." The interviewer filled the silence by answering its own question. Every answer after that told us nothing.
That moment set our rules. Candfit's interviewer never hints and never helps. It asks, it listens, it follows up, and then it hands the decision to a person. Every score comes with the evidence, so you never have to take our word for it.
The same problem is even bigger where hiring never stops, in clinics, call centers, stores and warehouses. So Candfit interviews for any role, with the same rules.
