Axira screens candidates with voice-based questions and scores them across startup-relevant traits. It saves you time, filters noise, and gives you a reliable signal before you engage directly.

Yes. You can bypass the 30-day cooldown and instantly trigger a free new screening for any candidate you’re interested in. Just send an invite through the FAH platform.

How is the candidate score presented to me?

Each candidate receives a structured scorecard with 1–5 ratings across four traits, plus written feedback. You’ll also see their certificate with a verified QR link to ensure authenticity.

Does Axira replace interviews completely?
