SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Eightfold AI today unveiled a new generation of agentic AI technology built to transform high-volume recruiting into a deeply personalized, instant, and intelligent experience. Eightfold Recruiter Agent architecture empowers enterprises to engage, evaluate, and advance talent autonomously—with the warmth and precision of a human concierge.
Key innovations include:
- AI Interviewer: Candidates can move from application to interview in a single click—24/7. These voice-led, structured conversations run in parallel, delivering bias-aware feedback and real-time match scoring, and offer instant coverage without compromising fairness.
- Candidate Concierge Agent: A smart, SMS-based assistant that replies to applicants the moment they apply—answering questions, sending reminders, guiding them through stages, and enabling smooth, personalized support—all via text messages.
- Upcoming Agent Extensions: Future Eightfold releases will include sourcing and engagement agents that proactively discover, qualify, and nudge candidates—enabling high-volume operations at scale without increasing headcount.
Deployments of Eightfold Recruiter Agent have already yielded up to 50% more candidate coverage and four hours saved per role, while preserving the candidate-first tone and accountability of a professional hiring team.
“This is intelligent agents in action,” said Varun Kacholia, Co-founder and CTO of Eightfold AI. “Recruiter Agent launches candidate journeys in real-time, guides them with concierge-level insight, and shifts to deep evaluation when nuance demands it—delivering speed, personalization, and fairness at scale.”
