Paradox

What is Paradox?

Paradox is conversational recruiting software built around an AI assistant named Olivia. It talks with candidates by text, chat and messaging apps to match them with openings, collect application details, screen qualifications, schedule and reschedule interviews, send reminders and answer questions at any hour. Beyond screening, it covers candidate prep, video interviewing, offer letters, onboarding documents, hiring events, referrals and candidate surveys. Products include a Conversational ATS, a Candidate Experience Agent that works with an existing system of record, and Career Site Studio. Paradox lists integrations with Workday, SAP SuccessFactors and Indeed, calendar connections with Office 365 and Gmail, and support for more than 30 languages plus WhatsApp and Facebook messaging. Pricing is not published; the vendor builds custom pricing for each employer after a demo request.
