Outsourced human technical interviews, compared with an AI qualification layer that runs before a human is spent at all.
A Karat interview is conducted by an experienced human engineer, and for a final-stage technical assessment that is better than anything software does — a person can follow an unexpected answer somewhere a system would not think to go. Talyn does not replace that interview and does not claim to.
| Karat | Talyn | |
|---|---|---|
| Who interviews | A vetted human interviewer. | An adaptive AI interview, reviewed by your team. |
| Where it sits | The technical screen, after you have already decided who is worth one. | Before that — deciding who is worth one, out of everyone who applied. |
| Coverage | The candidates you can afford to send. | Every inbound applicant, including the ones a résumé filter would cut. |
| Cost shape | Per interview, so volume is rationed by budget. | Flat monthly, so volume is not rationed at all. |
| Turnaround | Scheduled against a human calendar. | The candidate starts when they open the link. |
you already know who your top candidates are and want to outsource the deep technical screen itself to experienced humans.
the problem is upstream — 200 applicants and no way to tell which 15 deserve a Karat interview, or an engineer's hour, at all.
