A Paradox (Olivia) alternative that conducts the first-round interview

Paradox and its assistant Olivia are excellent at the top of the funnel: chatting with applicants, answering questions, screening on basic criteria, and above all scheduling. For high-volume hiring, that conversational scheduling is a real time-saver. What people raise when they look at Paradox alternatives is that Olivia is a chatbot and scheduler, not an interviewer, so the actual first-round interview still falls to a person.

InterviewAgent.ai picks up exactly there. The agent conducts the structured first-round screening interview by voice or video, asks role-tailored questions, follows up live, scores each answer against your rubric, and hands recruiters a ranked shortlist with transcripts and highlights. It pairs naturally with a scheduling chatbot: let one handle the conversation and booking, and let InterviewAgent.ai run the interview itself, with candidate consent, AI disclosure, bias audits supporting EEOC and NYC Local Law 144, and a human making the final decision.
