Voice AI for Recruiting

About Nancy AI

Nancy AI is a comprehensive AI recruiter that handles end-to-end hiring processes using over 100 AI agents. Tasks range from job creation and candidate targeting to interviewing, offer generation, and onboarding. Hume's Empathic Voice Interface (EVI) now serves as Nancy's voice, enabling emotionally intelligent conversations with candidates and employees.

The platform provides job seekers with realistic interview simulations and real-time feedback for personal development, while also giving businesses a complete AI solution for human capital management.

The Challenge

Nancy AI set out to solve critical recruitment challenges that plague the industry. Traditional AI interviews felt impersonal and mechanical. Understanding and responding to candidates' emotions during interviews is crucial for engagement, but existing solutions couldn't analyze emotional cues or adjust conversation flow accordingly.

The Solution: Integrating EVI

With our partnership, EVI became the backbone of Nancy AI's emotionally intelligent recruitment platform:

Emotionally Responsive Interviews: EVI analyzes candidates' emotions in real-time, adjusting conversation flow based on tone and pace. When candidates sound stressed, Nancy offers reassurance, creating supportive experiences that mirror human empathy during HR and technical interviews.

Seamless Onboarding: Nancy's custom EVI framework enables joining virtual meetings, sharing screens, and exchanging files naturally.

Tool Call Capabilities: EVI's tool call API allows Nancy to function as an account manager or sales agent, collecting emails, phone numbers, triggering events, and calling external APIs to create feature-rich, efficient conversations.

Results

Since integrating Hume's EVI, Nancy AI has achieved remarkable improvements across multiple dimensions:

• Implementation took just 2 days compared to 1 month for alternative solutions like Azure Speech + LLM
• Projected cost savings of $10 million by eliminating logistics and high-cost assessors
• Enhanced candidate satisfaction with stronger emotional connections

Nancy AI's integration of Hume's EVI sets a new standard for AI-driven recruitment, proving that empathic AI can streamline hiring while providing supportive, human-like experiences.
