THE PROBLEM

First-round interviews eat your whole day.

Every new role means dozens of 30-minute calls. Most candidates won't make it past the first round. Your team is stuck doing the same intro questions over and over. Xara AI does this for you.

See how Xara AI works

Same questions, every call

Recruiters ask the same 8 intro questions 50 times a week. It's draining.

Calendars don't match

Booking a 30-minute call across time zones takes longer than the call itself.

Each interviewer rates differently

One person's "good" is another's "average". No fair way to compare.

Top candidates wait too long

By the time you call them back, they've taken another offer.

FROM THE FOUNDER

Why we built Xakal

For ten years I watched HR teams spend their days on first-round interviews. Same questions, same energy, every time. The good people got missed because there wasn't enough time.

So we built Xara AI. She runs the first-round video interview for you. She asks the right questions, scores fairly, and writes a clean report. You spend your time on the candidates who matter.

Xakal is one thing: AI video interviews that help you hire faster. That's it.

YOUR HARDEST OBJECTIONS

Buyer questions, answered.

What is Xara AI?
Xara AI is our AI video interviewer. She gets on a video call with your candidates, asks the right questions for the role, and writes a clear report with scores. She runs first-round interviews for you.
Is it really a video interview?
Yes. The candidate joins a real video interview through their browser. Xara AI talks, listens, and reacts — just like a human first round. The whole thing is recorded so you can watch later.
What does Xara AI score?
Four things: communication, confidence, technical knowledge, and how well the candidate fits the role. The report also includes strengths, weaknesses, and a clear recommendation.
How does the candidate join?
You share a Xakal link. The candidate signs up in 30 seconds, does a quick webcam check, and starts the interview. No app to install. They can do it any time, day or night.
Will candidates be okay with an AI?
Yes. Xara AI is friendly and easy to talk to. Candidates can do the interview at their own time, no calendar games. Most say it feels less stressful than a human first round.
How long to set up?
Most teams send their first interview link the same day they sign up. Full setup for small teams: 7 to 10 days. Big companies: 4 to 6 weeks.
Is candidate data safe?
Yes. We use AWS in your chosen region (US, EU, or India). We are SOC 2 Type II in progress. We sign DPAs and you can export your data any time.
