Know who to watch first
DeepHire transcribes every answer, writes a short summary of each candidate, and scores them against your own rubric. Read the summary in seconds, then watch the people worth your time. The score is advice; you make the call.
- A transcript of every video and audio answer
- A 2 to 4 sentence summary of each candidate
- Scores on your own rubric, criterion by criterion
- No rubric yet? DeepHire writes one from your questions

Reference checks without phone tag
Ask a candidate for references, or add them yourself. Each reference gets a short request and answers 4 questions on their phone, by video, audio, or text, in a few minutes. Their answers, transcripts, and a summary land right on the candidate's page.
- Up to 5 references per candidate
- References answer by video, audio, or text
- Candidates can add their own references after the interview
- A summary of what each reference said

Find anyone, even in a list of thousands
Your whole candidate history is searchable now, not only the newest 1,000. New candidates are marked until you watch them, so nobody slips through.
- Search every candidate you have ever had
- Green dot on candidates you have not watched
- Sort and filter by your star rating
- See how many takes each answer needed

Fewer candidates give up halfway
Candidates get a clean new interview that works on any phone. They can do a practice question first. If their camera fails, they switch to their phone and keep going. If their connection drops, the answer is saved anyway. Afterward, they can see or delete their answers at any time.
- Practice question to warm up
- Switch to a phone with a short code
- Works on every iPhone and Android phone
- Answers are not lost when the Wi-Fi drops

Voice-only interviews, when video is too much
Turn on Audio only for any question. Candidates answer out loud with the microphone, and the camera stays off. It is a natural fit for call center and phone jobs, and for candidates who do not want to be on camera. Audio answers get transcripts and AI scores too.
- Audio only, video, written, or multiple choice, per question
- The camera stays off for audio questions
- Listen at 1.5x or 2x, with autoplay
- Transcribed and scored like video answers

Post a job in under a minute
Paste a job title or description and AI writes the questions and the scoring rubric. Or pick one of 26 templates. Mix video, audio, written, and multiple-choice questions in one interview.
- AI writes the questions from a job description
- 26 ready-made jobs: sales, support, healthcare, retail, and more
- Video, audio, written, and multiple-choice questions
- Copy a job's interview link in one click

See where candidates drop off

- Funnel from invite to finished interview
- Completion rate against the last 30 days
- Interviews per day
- Every job ranked by completion rate
