FAQ
Does Eightfold AI integrate with existing ATS platforms like Workday or Greenhouse?
Yes. Eightfold AI integrates with Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, and most enterprise ATS platforms. It layers AI scoring on top of existing systems without requiring an ATS replacement.
How is Paradox (Olivia) different from a regular chatbot for candidate screening?
Olivia is designed specifically for high-volume recruiting workflows. It handles multi-turn screening conversations, evaluates free-text responses, integrates with scheduling systems for real-time calendar booking, and is trained on recruiting-specific scenarios.
Is the AI scoring auditable for bias and compliance?
Eightfold and HiredScore both provide audit logs and explainability reports. Both vendors undergo regular bias testing and provide compliance documentation for EEOC and similar regulations. Legal review of AI-assisted hiring practices is still recommended.
