CRITICAL HIVE For recruitment agencies

Interview every applicant. Present only the best.

Critical Hive gives Australian recruitment agencies a white-label AI interviewer that screens every applicant 24/7, flags fraud and impersonation, and turns results into client-ready shortlists. AI assists. Your consultants make every decision.

  • White-label
  • Client share links
  • Shared interview pool
Screen more, place faster

01 Built for agencies

The workflow agencies actually run.

Screen the whole pipeline

Bulk-invite every applicant from a job ad or database search. No more choosing who gets a call based on a CV skim.

Your brand, not ours

Your logo and colours on the interview, emails and reports, so candidates experience your agency.

Client-ready shortlists

Share a branded, read-only shortlist with scores, evidence and integrity checks. Clients see why you recommend each person.

Protect your reputation

Flag signals of impersonation and automation, such as virtual cameras, replayed video and pasted answers, for a person to review before a questionable candidate reaches your client.

Organise by client

One private workspace for your agency, with roles grouped by client and team access by role.

Prove your value

Completion rates, time to shortlist and quality metrics you can show clients at review time.

02 A day with Critical Hive

From job order to shortlist before the client's next check-in.

  1. Morning: job order in

    Paste the client's brief. Critical Hive drafts the interview and rubric; you tweak two questions and publish.

  2. Midday: invite

    Bulk-invite 60 applicants and 15 people from your database. Each gets a branded link that expires in five days.

  3. Overnight: interviews happen

    Candidates interview after work, on their phones. Follow-up questions dig into thin answers automatically.

  4. Next morning: present

    Review the ranked list, call your top five, and share a branded shortlist with the client.

03 FAQ

For agency owners and consultants.

In-house team instead? See Critical Hive for employers

Can my clients see the AI interview results?

Yes. Share a read-only, branded shortlist link with a client for a specific role. They see the candidates you choose, their scores, evidence and integrity status, without needing a login. You stay in control of who is shared and when.

Will candidates see Critical Hive or my agency brand?

On the Agency plan the interview, invitation emails and reports carry your agency's logo and colours. Candidates experience it as your process.

Can we run separate workspaces for different desks or clients?

Yes. Each agency has its own private tenant, and roles can be organised by client. Team members get roles such as admin, recruiter or viewer.

Does it replace my consultants?

No. It removes the repetitive first-round phone screens so consultants spend their time on the conversations that place candidates: with the best applicants and with clients.

How is pricing structured for agencies?

A monthly plan with a pool of interviews shared across your team, plus overage if you need more in a busy month. See pricing.
