Hiring without a dedicated recruiter

Less screening. More time for finalists.

Founders and hiring managers don’t need to run every screening call. Set your criteria, let candidates complete the first round, then review the evidence.

Without Tarkflo

Read every CV. Coordinate every call. Repeat every question.

With Tarkflo

Set the role. Review the evidence. Meet your next hire.

CV screening

Screen CVs against your role.

Two-way AI interviews

Run first-round AI voice interviews.

Candidates answer role-specific questions in a two-way conversation. The AI follows up, and your team reviews the interview afterwards.

  • Ask role-specific questions
  • Follow up on candidate answers
  • Interview without coordinating calendars
