The Current Hiring Landscape

Hiring is broken—and AI is exposing just how inefficient it’s become. Talent acquisition teams are under enormous pressure to deliver results faster, with fewer resources, and less room for error. The rise of generative AI has only raised expectations further. Companies want smarter hiring, not just more candidates.

But most recruiting systems aren’t built for this world. First-round interviews are still manual and inconsistent. Bias remains a persistent problem. Recruiters are overwhelmed. And traditional platforms—from staffing firms to legacy HR tech—only add friction, cost, and complexity.

There’s no shortage of tools promising AI-powered hiring. But what most offer is automation in name only—generic assessments, black-box algorithms, and single point solutions.

What companies need isn’t just another hiring tool. They need a system that actually works—reducing recruiter workload, improving quality of hire, and accelerating outcomes. That’s where Braintrust AIR leads the way.

The Braintrust Birth Story

Braintrust AIR was born out of necessity. Enterprises using the Braintrust Marketplace were already accessing elite talent quickly—but applicant volume and first round interviews remained a bottleneck. Recruiters were spending too much time on basic screening, leading to long time-to-hire cycles and inconsistent evaluation processes.

To solve this, Braintrust built AIR: an AI-powered interview platform that automates structured first-round interviews using proven, unbiased assessments. It’s not a gimmick—it’s real automation that cuts recruiter workload by up to 80%, slashes time-to-hire by half, and improves both candidate and hiring team experiences.

AIR is designed for speed and impact. Assessments are tailored to real-world roles, interviews are fully auditable, and results are easy to act on. It's not replacing recruiters—it's giving them superpowers.

The Braintrust Solution

Braintrust AIR is not just another AI hiring tool—it’s the only end-to-end AI recruiting platform built to automate the full front half of the hiring funnel. Unlike generic job boards such as LinkedIn or Indeed, AIR leverages proprietary models trained on over 1.2 million vetted talent profiles and 4+ years of hiring data from the Braintrust network.

Here’s what makes it different:

• End-to-end automation – AIR creates structured job descriptions, matches candidates with precision, conducts on-demand video interviews, and even supports onboarding.

• High-volume screening power – Perfect for inbound-heavy roles where recruiters must quickly narrow hundreds of applicants to the most qualified few.

• Cross-functional reach – Though Braintrust started in tech, AIR supports roles across sales, customer success, finance, operations, and more—and improves as it learns from new industries.

• Bias reduction – AIR strips out personal identifiers like name, gender, or age, and evaluates candidates solely on skills and experience. Every candidate gets a fair review, not just the first handful of resumes a recruiter has time to skim.

• Soft skills included – Beyond technical ability, AIR evaluates communication, clarity, and collaboration style, scoring them transparently so hiring teams can see the full picture.

• Candidate experience – On-demand interviews see completion rates above 70%, with accessibility features such as multilingual options and dual text/audio prompts.

The result? Recruiters cut their screening workload by up to 80%, reduce time-to-hire by 50%, and consistently improve quality of hire. AIR doesn’t replace recruiters—it makes them more effective, freeing them to focus on relationships, culture, and long-term team building.
