Parichay AI
Introduction before the interview
AI screening & proctored assessments for hiring teams. Parichay automates the first gate of hiring with voice + vision intelligence — from AI-generated assessments to live pre-interviews and ranked shortlists.
Hiring teams lose hours before the first real interview
Recruiters spend hours writing assessments and screening unqualified applicants. Phone screens don't scale — they're inconsistent, slow, and hard to record. Remote assessments lack integrity, and hiring teams need signal before investing in full interviews.

Automate the first gate of hiring
Parichay AI automates the first gate of hiring with voice + vision intelligence. OpenAI generates role-specific assessments in seconds, the AI Interviewer conducts live ~4-minute pre-interviews, and on-device ML proctors both phases — no cloud vision API required.
End-to-end hiring, fully integrated

Job creation → AI pre-interview → proctored assessment → recruiter review — all in one platform.
Six AI systems
OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Polly, Nova Sonic, on-device ML, and confidence scoring — working together.
Three personas

Full-stack, cloud-native hiring platform
Frontend
Backend & Cloud
7 steps from job posting to shortlist
Every candidate moves through a structured, AI-orchestrated journey — from recruiter setup to ranked review.
Recruiter creates job & assessment
OpenAI drafts questions; recruiter toggles pre-interview on/off for each assessment.
Polly welcome audio
Neural TTS explains the flow before the candidate joins the live interview session.
Nova Sonic pre-interview
6 job-aware questions with recording and browser-based proctoring during the live session.
Confidence gate
Transcript scored on 4 dimensions; unlocks timed test if thresholds are met.
Proctored timed assessment
Screen/camera recording plus on-device behavior monitor throughout the test.
Scoring & submission
MCQ auto-grade; OpenAI grades subjective answers; recordings uploaded to S3.
Recruiter review
Applicants list, video playback, and rankings ordered by assessment score.
Cloud AI + on-device ML
Six integrated AI systems power every stage of the hiring pipeline — from question generation to proctoring.
OpenAI — Assessment Generator
Generative AI · Recruiter-facing
Generates role-specific assessments in seconds based on job title, role, and experience level.
- Model: gpt-4o-mini (configurable via OPENAI_MODEL)

- Recruiters toggle "requires pre-interview" on the same assessment
Integrity at every stage
Pre-Interview Proctoring
Multi-face detection (2 strikes → reject), camera obstruction, dim lighting, head movement & gaze away. Nova reads alerts aloud; mic paused during warning playback. WebM records mic + AI audio mixed → S3.
Timed Assessment Proctoring
On-device ML monitors lighting, head turns, gaze, multiple faces, and movement. Tab switch, window blur, or fullscreen exit → 3 total violations auto-submit. Screen share + mic OR camera + mic WebM at VP9/Opus, capped 480p/720p @ 15fps.
