For independent & agency recruiters

The interview-intelligence category chased the enterprise — one ATS, big panels, “contact sales.” askspresso is built for the solo recruiter they left behind.
Context in, brilliance out

Your only jobs: dump context, have a great conversation.

askspresso does the rest — turning freeform input and one interview into the structured outputs that actually move a placement forward.

01
Brew the kit
Paste context; get a rubric, questions, an agenda and a candidate brief — drafted for this exact conversation.
02
Live rail
During the call the copilot tracks coverage and nudges the probe you'd regret missing — on Zoom, Meet, Teams, or a pasted transcript.
03
Sealed second opinion
You score first. The copilot's take stays sealed until you commit — so it sharpens your judgment instead of anchoring it.
04
Evidence-backed scorecard
Every score links to the moment that earned it — ▶ timestamped, immutable once submitted.
05
Client submittal & shortlist
One click turns the loop into a branded, evidence-cited page your client can read — and decide on, in-page.
06
The coach's letter
A standing read on your interviewing you can pull anytime — talk ratio, question quality, and where you drift from the evidence.
07
The Workbench
For technical rounds, the interview is real work: a sandboxed workspace with AI on the desk — and the whole session replays into the same scorecard and submittal.
Does the AI decide for me?

No. You score first — the second opinion is sealed until you commit.

The copilot forms its own view from the transcript, then hides it until you've locked yours. When the reveal comes, agreement is reassurance and disagreement is a prompt to look again — never a number that quietly overrides you.

  • Decision-support, not an automated employment decision — you stay the decider.
  • Over time it shows where you personally run generous or harsh, per competency.
  • Behavioral and textual signals only — never emotion inference.

Your client decides in-page — no login. You see every call.
What do you actually send your client?

A branded, evidence-cited page — not a PDF they'll skim and forget.

The submittal is your real deliverable, so askspresso makes it the artifact enterprise tools never modeled: a client-branded submittal for one candidate, or a ranked shortlist of several — every claim replayable, and a one-tap Advance / Hold / Pass the client uses with no login. Their decisions land right on your report.

Will it join my calls?

However you interview.

A meeting bot
Drop a Zoom, Meet, or Teams link and the copilot joins, transcribes, and drives the live rail.
Or paste it
No bot? Paste a transcript after the fact — the same kit, scorecard, and reports fall out.
No lock-in
You're not moving onto someone else's calling stack. Interview where you already do.
Technical rounds, minus the theater

Watch how they actually work — AI and all.

Workbench gives your candidate a real machine and gives you the whole session back as evidence. AI isn't banned — it's on the desk, encouraged, and part of what you're evaluating. Because directing it well is the job now.

A real workspace, zero setup
One link opens a private sandboxed machine in the browser — real terminal, Codex preinstalled, a GPT chat panel. Nothing to install, nothing to fake.
Challenges from your client's actual repo
Generated from their GitHub — or a zip, or a role preset — and scoped to the time budget. UnGoogleable by construction, every check visible: no hidden tests, no gotchas.
One replay, every signal
Prompts, diffs, terminal commands, and check runs are captured by construction — there's no route around it — then fused into a single timeline. Evidence chips jump to the exact moment behind a score.
Async first, live when it matters
Take-homes auto-score the instant they land, and you can supersede any number. One click turns a submission into a live follow-up — prep kit brewed from the work itself.

Is candidate data safe?

Built to run on real people, responsibly.

Recording a candidate is a serious thing. askspresso treats it that way — consent up front, control after, and a posture designed for how hiring is actually regulated.

Consent first
A recording & AI-notice attestation before the bot ever joins — no silent capture.
Retention you can see
Recordings auto-expire from our capture vendor and copy to encrypted storage — request an export or deletion anytime.
Human-first, not an AEDT
The AI is decision-support behind your own scoring — not an automated employment decision. Workbench auto-scores are labeled, replay to their evidence, and stay human-overridable before any decision.
Behavioral only
Talk balance, coverage, follow-through — never emotion inference, which hiring law increasingly bans.
How is this different?

The same job the big tools stopped doing.

Questions, answered straight

The things you'd actually ask

Do I have to change how I interview?+

No. Keep using Zoom, Meet, or Teams — drop the link and the bot joins. Prefer no bot? Paste the transcript afterward and you get the same kit, scorecard, and reports.

Does the AI make the hiring decision?+

Never. You score first; the copilot's second opinion stays sealed until you commit, then shows where you might look again. It's decision-support behind your judgment — not an automated employment decision.

Is this an AI interviewer?+

No — no persona, no fake rapport. Async Workbench challenges are AI-guided work samples: smart check-ins while the candidate works, instant scoring when they submit, and a full replay a real human reviews. Live interviews are yours — Workbench just amplifies them.

Where does candidate code run?+

On a private, sandboxed machine that exists only for the session — one per candidate, torn down after. Its only network route is the audited proxy, which is why every prompt, diff, and command is captured by construction. No webcam, no screen recording.

What do I send a client?+

A client-branded, password-gated page: a single-candidate submittal or a ranked shortlist. Every claim is backed by a replayable interview moment, and your client taps Advance / Hold / Pass in-page — the decisions come back to you.

Is my candidate and client data private?+

Yes. Consent is shown before recording, each workspace's data is isolated, and you can request an export or deletion anytime. We analyze behavior and text — never emotion.

Do I need an ATS?+

No. askspresso works standalone and your interview history becomes its own searchable talent pool — resurface someone you already screened for the next req.

Can I cancel anytime?+

Yes — one plan, month to month, cancel whenever. The 14-day trial needs no card.

Turn your next interview into a deliverable your client can't ignore.

Set up in minutes. Bring one conversation and see the whole thing — kit to submittal — fall out of it.
