Watch Kai support a line manager in real-time.

The line manager runs the conversation. Kai listens silently inside the C-Factor AI platform and surfaces the follow-up questions they would have asked if they’d had ten years more interview practice.

What Kai Does ?

Everything a line manager needs to conduct a fair, thorough, well-documented interview.

Real-time follow-up suggestions

Kai listens to the candidate's answer and surfaces the follow-up your line manager would ideally ask right when they need it.

Prompt library for probing

Access thousands of pre-built probing questions organised by competency, seniority, and answer type. Or add your team's proven prompts.

Thorough competency-based assessment

Kai runs a thorough assessment against the competencies you have identified for the role with every score linked to the moment in the interview that supports it.

Proper documentation, in place

Every interview produces a complete, evidence-linked record: scores, transcript, and scoring rationale. Your hiring decisions are documented and defensible.

Runs inside your browser

Kai lives inside the C-Factor AI platform a web-based interview environment your team opens in the browser. Nothing to install, no third-party video app to configure.

Fills the interviewer skills gap

Not every line manager is a trained interviewer. Kai gives them the questions, follow-ups, and rubric a senior recruiter would use in real time.

Structured interview enforcement

Kai gently keeps line managers on track a nudge when they drift from the plan, a suggestion when they miss a required competency. Every candidate gets the same interview.

Multi-lingual guidance

Kai listens and guides in 30+ languages surfacing the right follow-up to your line manager in whichever language the interview is being conducted.

From setup to a fair, well-documented interview  in four steps.

Configure competencies for the role

Choose the competencies Kai should ensure get covered during this interview from your role playbook, our defaults, or a custom set. Kai makes sure every one is probed.

Line manager opens the interview in C-Factor AI

The line manager opens the session in their browser video, transcript, and Kai's guidance panel all in one place. The candidate joins via a secure link. No installs, no third-party video app.

Kai supports in real-time

Every time the candidate finishes an answer, Kai suggests the ideal follow-up so the line manager asks the right question no matter how experienced they are. The line manager chooses to use it, tweak it, or ignore it. Kai never takes over.

A thorough, evidence-linked candidate report

Kai produces a thorough competency-based assessment with each score tied to the exact moment in the interview that supports it. Proper documentation, in place. Fair for the candidate. Comparable across your team. Defensible in review.

Best use cases.

Kai earns his keep wherever the quality and consistency of your live interviews matter and where not every line manager is a trained interviewer.

Kai supports recruiters during interviews with relevant questions, intelligent follow-ups, and real-time guidance that helps uncover deeper candidate insights.

Every applicant gets a structured, consistent interview. Recruiters spend their time reviewing scored reports, not conducting first rounds.

Line managers who aren't trained interviewers

Engineers, team leads, and department heads often interview candidates as part of their job but few have formal interviewing training. Kai gives them the probing skills of a senior recruiter without a course.

METRIC: Every · Line manager, supported

Different interviewers, different days, different moods but the same required competencies covered, the same rubric applied. Every candidate gets the interview they deserve.

METRIC: Same · Rigour, every candidate

When four line managers score the same candidate, their scores should be comparable. Kai helps
each apply the same rubric  so the panel discussion is about the candidate, not about who scored them.

METRIC: 1 rubric · Applied across the panel

Even trained interviewers drift into unstructured conversation. Kai brings them back nudging when a required competency hasn’t been covered before the interview ends.

METRIC: 98% · Competency coverage rate

For roles where every hiring decision needs proper documentation finance, healthcare, public sector Kai ensures every candidate is asked the same competency questions and scored on the same evidence

METRIC: 100% · Evidence-linked scoring

Leadership hires deserve the sharpest possible probing. Kai gives even seasoned interviewers a second pair of ears catching subtle deflections and ensuring critical competencies aren’t skipped.

METRIC: 6.2 · Avg. probing follow-ups per interview

What Kai delivers — a scored candidate report with evidence.

Kai’s job is to help every line manager produce a thorough, evidence-linked candidate assessment with proper documentation of every score, every competency, and every moment that supports it.
