OVI is the AI-native ATS where you chat to hire. Two AI agents — Sora for sourcing and Milo for screening — find candidates, score every CV, and run AI interviews, all controlled from a single chat.

What does "chat to hire" mean?

Chat to hire is OVI's AI-native hiring workflow: instead of clicking through a traditional ATS, you describe what you need in chat and OVI's AI agents source candidates, screen applicants, run AI interviews, and send outreach for you.

What is an AI-native ATS?

An AI-native ATS is an applicant tracking system built around AI agents rather than forms and pipelines. OVI's AI chat ATS lets recruiters source, screen, interview, and follow up through conversation — the agents do the work and surface only the candidates worth meeting.

Who are Sora and Milo?

Sora is OVI's AI sourcing agent — she scans LinkedIn, the open web, and your ATS history to find best-fit candidates and reach out in your name. Milo is OVI's AI screening agent — he scores every applicant against your rubric and surfaces a ranked shortlist.

How do OVI's AI interviews work?

OVI runs async AI interviews for every shortlisted candidate and returns scores, transcripts, and recordings — so your team only meets the people worth meeting.

OVI explained in 60 seconds: hire in days, not months

Hiring today is messy. Too many CVs, too little time, and a process that drags on for weeks. It is expensive, slow, and painful for everyone involved. This post shares the 60-second video that shows how OVI compresses the journey from job post to scheduled interviews into a simple flow with better data, faster decisions, and lower vacancy cost.

What you will see in the video

1) Connect LinkedIn and pick the role
Log in with LinkedIn, select the open role, and pull in the basics.

2) Import candidates
Bring in applicants from LinkedIn or your ATS in one clean step.

3) Refine CV screening rules
Click the CV screening AI button to review rules that OVI generated from your job description, then set what is non-negotiable vs nice-to-have, and adjust thresholds.

4) Auto-screen candidates
Let OVI score every CV against the role. You see matches, gaps, and red flags, plus an ordered shortlist you can filter by your priorities.

5) Refine interview questions
Use the Interview questions AI button to load questions tailored to the role and seniority. Edit tone, depth, and add follow-ups.

6) Invite to AI voice interviews
Send one-click invites to the top candidates. They complete a short, structured voice interview with clear guidance.

7) Review outcomes
Results arrive in real time. Open the live transcript, jump to highlights, listen to any answer, and see per-question summaries with scores and key quotes.

8) Decide and schedule
Compare candidates side by side, add notes, tag concerns, and send your meeting link to schedule the next interview.

Why this matters

Speed
Teams move from hundreds of CVs to a solid shortlist in days, not months.

Quality
Consistent screening plus structured interviews mean better signal and fewer biased ad-hoc calls.

Clarity
Everything is auditable: rules, scores, transcripts, summaries, and decisions.

Less vacancy cost
A faster, more reliable process reduces the expensive time a role stays open and frees senior leaders from low-value screening work.

The numbers we highlight in the video

5x more first-round interviews
1/10 the time from role to shortlist
70% lower cost per hire
Scale example: 2,000 CVs screened and 50 interviews completed in 2 days

These are real outcomes from recent OVI cohorts. Results vary by role, seniority, and applicant volume, but the direction is consistent: faster, clearer, less expensive.

What better data looks like in practice

Explicit rules based on your job description, with clear priorities and thresholds
Comparable scores across candidates for role fit, skills, seniority, education relevance, and risk flags
Structured interviews with per-question scoring and key quotes
Transparent evidence you can share with hiring managers and finance to support decisions
