Recagn only had the brief.

You know the client.

Recagn writes the rubric. You decide what counts.

The brief said payment experience matters. On the call, the client told you what they meant. Choose the wording for criterion 2 and see what it changes.

What Recagn had · the client's brief

…You'll build Spring Boot services that move money, so experience with payment flows matters.

What you know · your note from the call, Monday

“They care that the person has handled reversals. Owning the service is a bonus.”

  2. Her CV · line 4 · read before any interview

Thirty minutes, on one of your roles.

Answer at a time that suits them.

Every candidate answers the same questions against the same rubric. They're told up front that AI helps evaluate their answers.

The clip sequence

  1. 0–4s. Question 3 of 6: Walk me through a payment you had to reverse in production. What did you check first? Under it: This interview uses AI to help evaluate your responses. A person reviews them and makes every decision.
  2. 4–13s. Ananya types her answer: We had a UPI double debit. I checked the reconciliation log first, then the idempotency key on the retry.
  3. 13–18s. She presses Save & next. Her answer is saved and question 4 of 6 opens: What have you done with Kafka or RabbitMQ in production?

A person reads her answer and decides.

Recagn scores the answer and notes what it shows. You read it yourself and make the call.

Your client gets the shortlist, with the evidence.

Recagn drafts the report. You decide who is on it, and how long the link works.

What Recagn does

What is Recagn?

Recagn is AI candidate screening for recruitment agencies in India. It turns a client brief into a rubric, runs AI interviews and drafts the shortlist. You decide. How Recagn works

Is Recagn an ATS?

No. Recagn works alongside the system you track placements in. Candidates come in when you upload their CVs or when they apply through an Apply Link, and your client gets a read-only Company Report link.

How does Recagn score a candidate?

Against the rubric you locked. The weighted score is each criterion score times its weight, divided by the sum of the weights, on a scale of 1 to 5. See the working ↑

Can Recagn reject a candidate?

No. Recagn recommends. Only you can reject a candidate. See the decision ↑

Does Recagn work with Naukri and LinkedIn?

Through an Apply Link. You paste a role's Apply Link into your Naukri or LinkedIn post, and candidates apply on Recagn's page for that role. Each source gets its own link, so you can see where applicants came from. Recagn doesn't post jobs for you or read your Naukri account.

What does my client see?

A read-only Company Report link, with no account to create. It shows the candidates who finished the interview, with their scores, the evidence behind them and your decisions. The link expires after 30 days by default, and you can revoke it at any time. See the report ↑

What does a later role do with earlier evidence?

Recagn adjusts the sourcing order from that candidate's own earlier evidence: how they did on roles that share a criterion, your decisions and your client's outcomes, and whether they replied. The adjustment is capped. It shows the reason, and how fast it fades. It never changes a recommendation or an interview score, and it never invites or rejects anyone. See an adjustment

Interviews and candidates

Text, voice or video: which interview should I use?

You choose the formats each question allows: text, voice, video or a document. A text or voice interview uses 1 Evaluation Credit when it's scored; an interview with any video answer uses 3. Video isn't on the Free plan.

What do candidates see?

They're told up front that AI helps evaluate their answers and that a person reviews them and makes every decision. Try the candidate's screen ↑

Do candidates need an account or pay anything?

No. A candidate opens the interview from a magic link, with no account and no password, and answers at times they choose. Candidates are never charged.

Is Recagn DPDP compliant?

The DPDP Act's duties for agencies begin on or about 13 May 2027. Today, before an interview, a candidate agrees in three separate boxes, and every agreement is versioned and recorded with the exact wording they saw. They're told that AI evaluates their answers, and a person makes every decision. This is not legal advice. Privacy
