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.

AI Interviews & Human Touch: OVI Handles the Worst Candidate Ever

2026-03-19

You lose the human touch with AI interviews

You hear that a lot. We see it differently.

In this video we put our AI recruiter OVI through the worst candidate ever—deliberately over-the-top answers, absurd examples—and still: OVI stays professional, asks follow-ups, and steers the conversation back on track.

The test: Chris vs. OVI

Imagine a candidate who answers a leadership question by describing a FIFA tournament with friends. Or who frames a tough challenge as rebooting the Wi‑Fi router. Or who says at the end: I built you, so I decide whether I get hired.

That is exactly what we did—and OVI held up.

What OVI shows

Follow-ups instead of giving up: OVI asks for concrete professional context.
Persistence without hostility: OVI stays polite and objective.
Keeping the thread: OVI brings the conversation back to what matters.

The human touch is in the behavior

The human touch in interviews is not about having a person on the other end. OVI demonstrates real listening, smart follow-ups, and fair process.

Hire faster, assess better—with OVI.

Do AI interviews lose the human touch?

No. The human touch is in the behavior: respectful listening, smart follow-ups, and fair process. OVI demonstrates exactly that—even when answers are deliberately absurd.

How does OVI respond to inappropriate or absurd candidate answers?

OVI asks targeted follow-ups to get professional context. Instead of ending the conversation, it steers objectively toward leadership experience, business challenges, and role fit.

What was tested in the worst-candidate scenario?

In the video, OVI’s founder deliberately exaggerates: a FIFA tournament instead of leadership experience, a router restart instead of a business challenge. OVI stays professional throughout and shows that AI interviews can handle difficult situations.

Is OVI suitable for screening interviews?

Yes. OVI runs first-round conversations automatically, clarifies salary, availability, and relocation—and gives candidates space to ask their own questions. The result: less time in screening, faster hiring cycles.

What advantages do AI interviews offer over traditional screening calls?

AI interviews like OVI are consistent, scalable, and available around the clock. Candidates can join flexibly, and recruiters focus on top candidates instead of repetitive first calls.
