Hire well without a hiring department.
When you're small, one bad hire costs more than it should — and there's no dedicated recruiting team to catch it. TalVivo brings role definition, candidate screening, assessment, AI-assisted interviewing and evaluation into one simple workflow, so a founder or a team of one can hire with the same rigor as a company ten times the size.
Solutions for every critical stage of hiring, built for teams without a recruiting department.
Role & Job Creation
Define the role, required skills and evaluation context in minutes, not a week of back-and-forth.
Candidate Screening & Evaluation
Turn every application into structured, comparable candidate data — automatically.
Technical Assessment
Evaluate real ability through a focused assessment, without building one from scratch yourself.
AI-Assisted Interviewing
Kyra conducts adaptive, role-aware interviews — so you're not the one running every first-round call.
Assessment Integrity
Verification and proctoring signals throughout the assessment, even with zero proctoring staff of your own.
Automated Evaluation
Turn completed assessments into usable candidate insight without hours of manual review.
Ranking & Reporting
Classify candidates and export results, so the decision is easy even when you're deciding alone.
Start with a clear definition of the role.
Small teams rarely have the luxury of hiring for a role twice. Define the requirements, skills and evaluation context once, and that same information shapes the assessment questions and evaluation criteria for every candidate who applies — no separate briefing needed.
- →Define required and preferred skills for the role
- →Set the difficulty and evaluation context for the assessment
- →AI generates role-specific interview questions from this information
Turn candidate information into structured evaluation.
A small team can't afford to spend a weekend reading every resume line by line. Resumes are parsed and candidate information is extracted automatically, then compared against the role to produce an ATS score and a company fit score.
- →Resume upload and automatic parsing
- →Candidate information extracted into a structured profile
- →ATS score and company fit score calculated against the role
Evaluate ability through the work itself.
You don't need a dedicated hiring manager to know whether a candidate can actually do the job — you need to see them do it. Candidates move through a focused assessment environment where AI-generated questions are presented and evaluated directly.
- →AI-generated questions matched to the role
- →Focused workspace for the candidate's response
- →Assessment state tracked as the candidate works
Bring AI-assisted interviewing into the assessment workflow.
Kyra conducts a live, adaptive interview on your behalf — asking role-specific questions and following up based on what the candidate says, with the conversation transcribed in real time. No blocking out your own calendar for a dozen first-round calls.
- →Adaptive, role-aware interview questions
- →Live transcription of the candidate's responses
- →Interview context carried into the candidate's evaluation
Keep assessment integrity visible throughout the process.
You don't have a proctoring team, and you don't need one. TalVivo uses identity verification and proctoring signals — camera access, face verification and presence checks — to help surface potential integrity issues during the assessment automatically.
- →Camera access and face verification before the assessment begins
- →Presence checks flag when a face leaves the frame
- →Multiple-person detection surfaces potential integrity issues
Turn completed assessments into usable candidate insight.
Once an assessment is complete, TalVivo brings the candidate's responses and any integrity flags into one evaluation view — so whoever's making the call, whether that's a founder, a manager or a team of two, has everything they need in one place.
- →Candidate responses brought into one evaluation view
- →Any proctoring flags surfaced alongside the assessment
- →A structured basis for the hiring decision
Move from individual assessments to hiring decisions.
Candidates are classified against the role's thresholds and can be exported to share with a co-founder, a partner or anyone else weighing in — no separate spreadsheet needed.
- →Candidates classified as selected, waitlisted or rejected
- →Ranking based on ATS score and company fit
- →Results exportable as CSV, Excel or PDF
Every solution works as part of one hiring workflow.
