AI-Driven Hiring Platform

Kaidon Platform

The AI-driven hiring platform.
From first source to first day.

An AI-native ATS that sources, assesses, verifies, and manages candidates — with science-grade assessments, structured decision automation, and a persistent AI companion that guides every hire from application to start date.

The Problem

Modern hiring is broken. The Kaidon Platform fixes it.

Pipelines take too long to build

Manually sourcing candidates for every new role wastes weeks. By the time your longlist is ready, the best talent has moved on — hired by a competitor who moved faster.

Candidate quality is untrustworthy

Unverified CVs, AI-generated applications, and location misrepresentation flood inboxes. Without structured quality checks, teams waste hours interviewing candidates who don't fit.

The process is fragmented and opaque

Email threads, spreadsheets, and disconnected tools mean hiring teams lose track of candidates, miss follow-ups, and have no real-time view of where each role stands.

Layer 1 · Core Hiring Engine

Real-time pipeline visibility across every open role.

The Recruitment Board gives your team a live, multi-role view of your entire hiring pipeline — from first source through to offer. Bottleneck detection, urgency signals, and source comparison built in.

  • Triple pipeline: inbound, AI-sourced, and existing talent pool
  • Automatic bottleneck and urgency detection
  • Source comparison — see where your best hires come from
  • Full lifecycle from first interaction to pre-start

Layer 2 · AI Sourcing Engine

Auto-generate ranked candidate pools the moment a role opens.

  • Competitor mapping automatically surfaces candidates from rival firms
  • Identity and location verification built into every profile
  • AI usage signal detection flags AI-generated applications
  • Match scores ranked by role fit, not recency

  • Guides candidates to the right roles at the right time
  • Manages interview logistics and sends automated briefing packs
  • Answers onboarding and pre-start questions 24/7
  • Maintains engagement throughout the full hiring lifecycle

Assessment Science

Psychometric and cognitive assessments engineered for hiring — not for fun.

Most hiring tools score with rules of thumb. Kaidon ships with proper assessment science: a forced-choice Big Five personality test scored with Item Response Theory, an adaptive logic test that adjusts difficulty in real time, and a composite role-fit signal that combines them with structured interview anchors.

Big Five · IRT-scored

Personality at sub-facet resolution

Forced-choice format resists faking. 15 sub-facets scored with Item Response Theory — not raw averages — for a defensible personality picture.

Logic · 2-Parameter Logistic

Adaptive cognitive testing

Difficulty adapts to the candidate. Stronger answers unlock harder items, weaker answers unlock easier ones — a fairer measurement in less time.

Role Fit Composite

One signal across every input

Personality targets, logic cut-scores, and BARS-anchored interview ratings combine into a single, weighted role-fit score the team can act on.

Architect · AI Hiring Plan Generator

Turn a job description into a complete hiring plan in minutes.

Paste a JD into Architect and Kaidon produces a structured BARS scorecard, a personality target profile, a logic cut-score, and a full interview template — ready for a hiring manager to review and accept. The plan, not the prompt, is the deliverable.

  • BARS-anchored interview scorecards mapped to role competencies
  • Personality target profile aligned to the role's success behaviours
  • Recommended logic cut-score grounded in role complexity
  • Editable interview template — accept, refine, or override

Decision Automation

Automate the busywork. Keep humans on the decisions that matter.

The rules engine moves candidates, flags risks, and triggers reminders the moment a threshold is hit. Anything that materially affects a candidate's progression — including any reject recommendation — is held behind an explicit human accept-step, with consent gating aligned to EU AI Act Article 22.

  • Threshold-triggered stage advances, flags, and reminders
  • Human approval required on any auto-reject path
  • Every rule firing recorded in the append-only audit log
  • Per-role rule sets — different signals for different jobs

Quality of Hire

Measure the hire long after the offer is signed.

Hiring quality only really shows up months later. Kaidon captures manager-scored checkpoints at 30, 90, 180 and 365 days, weights them by tenure, and rolls up a composite signal that tells you which sources, sectors and decisions actually produce the best hires.

  • Manager-scored checkpoints at 30 / 90 / 180 / 365 days
  • Tenure-weighted composite bands (1× / 2× / 3× / 4×)
  • Source attribution — which channel produced the best hires
  • Funnel and report integration — close the loop on every role
