The Raffi product

Most AI recruiters give you a scorecard.
Raffi gives you a conversation.

Raffi runs a 10-minute structured interview with every one of your applicants. Then walks you through the shortlist, side-by-side, like a senior recruiter would.

Room 1 · Candidate interview

Every applicant gets the same 10-minute interview.

Voice-first conversation. Real-time follow-ups based on what the candidate actually says. Anti-cheat scanner running in the background. Same rubric, same questions, every time — the only fair way to compare.

How it works

From job spec to ranked shortlist — in five steps.

  1. 1.0

    Job intake

    Drop the role. Raffi writes the spec.

    Post a role or paste a JD. Raffi parses it into a hiring bar, generates role-specific screening questions, and posts to your ATS (Workable today, Greenhouse + Ashby + Lever rolling out).

  2. 2.0

    Outreach

    Every applicant gets a call within 24 hours.

    Self-booking link, 30+ languages, candidate picks their own slot 24/7. No coordinator tag, no missed calls, no 'we'll be in touch.' Most candidates complete within 48 hours of applying.

  3. 3.0

    Interview

    Real conversations — voice, real-time, 10-15 minutes.

    CV-aware before the call starts. STAR-method behavioral questions tailored to the role. Anti-cheat scoring catches coached or AI-assisted answers. Full transcript + recording per call.

  4. 4.0

    Score

    Rubric-anchored scoring across every applicant.

    Per-criterion 1-5 scoring, weighted overall fit 0-100, plain-English strengths + gaps. Side-by-side compare across the shortlist. No recall bias on candidate #18 vs candidate #3.

  5. 5.0

    Hire

    Meet the top 3-5. Make the offer. No hire fee.

    Reveal contact (email $0.30, full profile $50), schedule the final round in two clicks, make the offer. The candidate is yours the moment you reveal them — no placement fee, no percentage of salary, ever.

Transcript · 3:42

Raffi: Walk me through your most recent closed deal — how it started and how you got to signature.

Candidate: Yeah, so this was a logistics company out of Dubai, came in through a partner referral. Initial call was end of February, we closed mid-April for about $84K ACV…

What Raffi caught

  • Concrete deal size + cycle length (84K ACV, 7 weeks)
  • Source: partner referral — high-intent signal
  • Tracks deals by month, not by quarter — operator brain

Wall of love

Built for teams who hire constantly.

"We were hiring 4 SDRs. Raffi screened 380 applicants in 5 days. We made 4 offers in week 3. The recruiter would have taken until quarter end."

"The transcripts are the unlock. I can read 12 candidate interviews in 20 minutes and know exactly who to talk to. No phone tag, no scheduling."

"Anti-cheat caught two candidates that would have passed our human screen. One was a coached AE, one was just reading off a script. Saved us two hires worth of pain."

Candidates like it too

96% of candidates rate their Raffi interview 5 stars.

Self-scheduling, transparent AI disclosure, real conversation. The opposite of the recruiter ghosting they're used to.

"Honestly better than the human phone screens I've had. No phone tag, picked the time myself, finished in 12 minutes. Felt fair."

Ritik K. · Account Executive

"I appreciated that the AI was upfront about being AI. It asked follow-ups that showed it actually understood my answers. Different."

Mira O. · Backend Engineer

"Did it on my phone at 9pm after work. Got a callback the next morning from the hiring manager. Three weeks of waiting was the norm before."

FAQ

Questions hiring managers ask.

What is agentic recruiting?

Agentic recruiting is recruiting done by an AI agent that takes action on your behalf — not just a chatbot that answers questions or a model that summarizes résumés. Raffi is an agentic AI recruiter: it posts the role, contacts every applicant, runs a structured 10-15 minute voice interview, scores against your rubric, and delivers a ranked shortlist. The work happens autonomously; you make the final hire decision.

How does an AI recruiting agent work?

An AI recruiting agent operates as a closed loop: job intake → applicant outreach → structured interview → rubric-anchored scoring → ranked shortlist. Raffi's loop runs 24/7. Candidates self-book a slot (30+ languages), the AI conducts a real voice conversation with role-specific follow-ups, an anti-cheat scanner flags coached or AI-assisted answers, and a hiring-bar-trained scorer produces a 0-100 fit score with strengths and gaps. You see the top 3-5 — same day for fast roles, within 48 hours for high-volume.

Is an AI recruiter better than a human recruiter?

Different roles. A human recruiter shines on executive search, complex referencing, and closing offers — high-context work that needs judgment. An AI recruiter wins on volume screening, fairness (every applicant gets the same conversation, not just the top 5 résumés), speed (under 60 seconds from application to first contact), and cost (around 90-95% less than placement-fee firms for a typical SMB hiring plan). Most teams use both: Raffi for screening, humans for the final round and the offer.

Who is Raffi built for?

Any hiring team that gets more than 30 applicants per role. Founders hiring their first 10 people, in-house recruiting teams at SMB and mid-market, and ops leaders who want to spend less time on screening and more time on hiring. If you're paying a recruiter, an agency, or your own time to do phone screens — Raffi is for you.

Can I start with one role, or do I need a full hiring plan?

One role is the right way to start. The Free tier with a $10 starter credit gets you the first hire's worth of screening + a few reveals. Most teams upgrade to Pro ($199/mo) once they've used Raffi on one role and want it running on multiple roles at once.

How long does setup take?

About 25 minutes to onboard, post your first role, and have Raffi ready to interview your first applicants. No engineering work, no integration project, no procurement cycle. Connect your work email, paste a JD, and you're live.

Do I have to integrate with my ATS?

No — Raffi works standalone for teams without an ATS. If you do use Workable, the integration is one-click and the candidates flow back into Workable as scored shortlist entries. Greenhouse, Ashby, and Lever integrations are rolling out in 2026.

How do candidates respond to being interviewed by AI?

96% rate the experience 5 stars. Three things drive that: (1) AI transparency is non-negotiable — Raffi tells every candidate upfront, (2) self-scheduling means candidates pick their own time at their preferred hour, in their preferred language (30+ supported), (3) the alternative — waiting two weeks for a recruiter callback — is dramatically worse.

How is candidate privacy and consent handled?

Every candidate consents before the call. Recordings and transcripts are theirs to access (they get a copy via email). Raffi is calibrated against EU AI Act + NYC Local Law 144 frameworks. Anti-cheat scoring is informational only — we never auto-reject a candidate based on a risk score.

What does this cost vs. hiring a recruiter?

Most placement-fee recruiters charge 15-25% of first-year salary, so a $90k hire runs $13-22k in fees. A team hiring 12 people a year typically pays $180-300k in placement fees. Raffi at $199-599/mo + per-action credits typically lands at $7-15k/year for the same hiring volume — roughly 90-95% cost reduction with comparable shortlist quality.
