Who's actually paying for it
Every seat at the table feels this differently.
No two interviewers score the same.
Every panelist brings their own bar, and 42% of applications never clear it, so hours go to triage instead of candidates.

Every interview pulls you off the roadmap, and roles stay open while your team runs thin.

Good. How does that change if you need to shard across regions?

Who it's for
Built for the team doing the hiring.
Whether you're a founder closing your first 10 hires or an HR lead scaling a team, Kestrel removes the parts that shouldn't need you.
You're still the hiring manager
Every resume, screen and scheduling email still routes through you, especially at crunch moments. Kestrel runs the top of the funnel so you only show up for conversations that actually need you.
80% of Indian employers struggle to find skilled talentYou're managing 8 roles at once
Manual screening, chasing feedback, rescheduling interviews. Kestrel automates the repeatable work so you can focus on the candidate relationships that actually close offers.
74% say qualified candidates are harder to findEvery interview pulls you off the roadmap
Technical screens, portfolio reviews, take homes. Kestrel runs the early rounds so you only sit down with candidates who've already cleared a real bar.
77% say hiring has too many interview stagesIntegrations
Works with the tools you already use.
Connect your inbox, calendar and job boards once. Kestrel reads and writes through them from there, so nobody has to change how they work.

FAQ
Questions we get a lot.
Straight answers, including exactly where our numbers come from, so you never have to take a claim on faith.
An ATS tracks candidates through a pipeline you still have to run by hand. Kestrel screens, assesses and interviews candidates itself, then hands your team a ranked shortlist of people who've already cleared the bar. You can run it alongside your existing ATS or in place of it.
Yes. Every candidate is told upfront that screening and the initial interview are conducted by Kestrel's AI, what it's evaluating, and when a human on your team will get involved.
Every score comes with the reasoning behind it, so your team can override any call. Kestrel is built to narrow the field, not to make the final decision on its own.
Kestrel ships with job profiles across engineering, sales, operations and support, and new profiles can be added for roles specific to your team.
Most teams are live on their first role within a day: pick a job profile, connect where applications come in from, and Kestrel starts screening.
Every candidate for a role is scored against the same rubric, and every score shows the reasoning behind it, so your team can see why someone was ranked where they were and override any call. A person on your team always makes the final hiring decision.
The market context numbers on our site come from independent, India specific data: the most current we could find, and none of it from a company that competes with the kind of AI screening, assessment or interview product Kestrel is:
80% of Indian employers report difficulty finding the skilled talent they need, up 25% since 2014.ManpowerGroup, 2025 Global Talent Shortage Survey, India Findings (survey of 3,150 employers across India) →
74% of recruiters in India say it's gotten harder to find qualified candidates over the past year; 77% say hiring now involves too many stages; 8 in 10 plan to expand their use of AI in hiring.LinkedIn platform data, India hiring report, as reported by Business Standard, Feb 2026 →
The ₹ figures in our "cost of getting it wrong" calculator are Kestrel's own estimate, not a third party survey finding. We're not aware of a published Indian study that prices this out. We build it by applying roughly 70% of the role's annual CTC (inside the 30% to 200% of salary range commonly used in HR turnover cost research, covering re recruitment, salary paid during underperformance, exit costs and ramp up time for the replacement) to typical Indian CTC bands for junior, mid level and senior roles. Read it as a scenario, not a claim about what your last bad hire specifically cost you.
We picked ManpowerGroup and LinkedIn because their data is India specific and current, and neither sells the kind of AI screening, assessment or interview product Kestrel is. We don't cite competing recruiting software vendors (ATS, sourcing tools or AI assessment platforms) as a source for any number on this site, even when their published research is well done, since they have a commercial interest in how those numbers get used.
