SCREEN 01 OF 10

Your dashboard.

Captured from a demo workspace with fictional candidates. Demo scores come from the built-in simulator.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. No app for candidates to install.

01

Paste a job description

Critical Hive drafts a weighted skills rubric and one interview question per skill. Edit anything, then publish.

02

Candidates interview on their own time

A unique link, any device. They get a plain-language notice first and can ask for a person instead. Integrity signals are tagged throughout and never used to auto-reject.

03

You get the evidence, you decide

A scored report with quotes behind every number, plus an AI-suggested recommendation. Advance, hold or decline: the decision and the reason are always yours, logged in the audit trail.

See the full picture: how Critical Hive works

Is this the real product?

Yes. Every screen on this page is captured from the actual Critical Hive app, in a demo workspace called Meridian Talent. The people are fictional and use example.com addresses, and the activity is sample data. The demo scores come from the built-in scoring simulator, which is why the report says “Simulated scoring”. Your own interviews are scored by Claude when your workspace is connected to it.

Can I try it myself instead of watching?

Yes. Start a free pilot, paste a real job description, and run an interview on your own role. Pilots include 8 completed interviews, with no credit card.

How long does it take to see results?

Paste a job description and Critical Hive drafts a weighted skills rubric and interview questions, which a person edits before anyone is invited. Once a candidate finishes their interview, the scored report with evidence quotes follows within moments.

Does the AI decide who gets hired?

No. Critical Hive scores answers against the skills that matter and shows the quotes behind every score. Integrity signals are shown separately for a person to review. A person records every decision, and each one is logged. See the AI interview disclaimer.

What does the AI interview look for?

Every question is written in the STAR style (Situation, Task, Action, Result), the structured-interview technique widely used by hiring teams, and is tied to a skill from the role's rubric. The AI interviewer asks a follow-up when an answer is thin and does not when it is already complete.

Can I see a demo with a person, or a demo of a specific feature?

Yes. Ask for a walkthrough and tell us what matters to you: the fraud and bias reports, Workday or Teams, or white-label shortlists for clients.
