We're fixing the first round.
Recruiters spend their weeks on calls that go nowhere, and good candidates wait days for a five-minute screen. Ryuc takes that first round off their plate, and leaves every decision with them.
Why we started.
Every role brings hundreds of applicants. A recruiter calls a few, shortlists fewer, and the client turns most of them down. Then it starts again, with the follow-ups, the rescheduling and the paperwork on top. The people best at judging candidates spend most of their time dialling.
We think the first round should work the other way round: every candidate who's a fit gets a real interview the moment they apply, and recruiters spend their time on the shortlist, not the phone.
What we're building.
An AI interviewer first, with the rest of the hiring desk around it. Ryuc screens CVs against the job, interviews candidates by voice, follows up when an answer is vague, scores every answer against your rubric and writes the report your client or hiring manager reads. Around it sit the pieces that feed the interview and act on its results: the job page, scheduling, the pipeline, offers and placements.
What we believe.
- People decide. Ryuc recommends; a person confirms every move, and can override any score with a reason.
- Show the evidence. Every score comes with the answer it was based on, so a shortlist can be argued with, not just trusted.
- Be fair by default. Questions adapt to each candidate, but everyone for a role is scored against the same rubric, at a time that suits them.
- Be straight with candidates. They're told up front that the interviewer is AI, and they agree before anything is recorded.
- Only claim what we've measured. The numbers on this site come from real interviews, and we label anything that's an example.
Who it's for.
Recruitment agencies first, especially in India, where placement fees, replacement periods and CTC conversations are part of every hire, and where no AI tool has been built around the way agencies work. In-house hiring teams use the same interviewer, with reports written for their hiring managers.
Where we are.
Ryuc is early, and we're building it with our first customers. We're taking on 10 founding partners: teams who get hands-on setup, a direct line to the people building the product, and a locked price for 12 months. What founding partners get →
