Questions
Product basics
Does CandiLyt replace our ATS?
No. CandiLyt is designed as the evaluation and decision layer around the interview process, not as a replacement for applicant tracking.
Do we need to move our entire hiring process into CandiLyt?
No. Start with one open role. CandiLyt can sit alongside the tools and process you already use.
Who is CandiLyt for?
It is built for founders, HR leaders, technical leaders, finance leaders, and hiring teams who want stronger evidence before spending senior interview time.
Questions
Candidate screening
What should we try first?
Use a live role where you already have several candidates. Compare CandiLyt's shortlist with the candidates your team would normally interview first.
How is the fit percentage determined?
The percentage is based on how the candidate's evidence aligns with the role requirements. The score is useful context, but the evidence and gaps should be reviewed by your team.
Can CandiLyt rank candidates from different sources?
Yes. Teams can evaluate candidates attached to a role and reuse candidates from their talent pool when those candidates are relevant to a new opening.
Do candidates need to create accounts?
No. Your team can evaluate candidates using submitted CVs and your own interview workflow.
Questions
Interview questions
Can CandiLyt generate interview questions?
Yes. CandiLyt creates role-focused questions and candidate-specific questions tied to the candidate's own claims, experience, gaps, and open evidence.
Are the questions the same for every candidate?
No. Shared role questions help keep interviews comparable, while candidate-specific questions focus on what each person still needs to prove.
Can interviewers still use their own judgment?
Yes. CandiLyt prepares context; interviewers remain responsible for judgment, follow-up questions, and feedback.
Questions
AI and human review
Will CandiLyt make the hiring decision for us?
No. It improves the evidence, comparison, and interview context. Your team remains responsible for shortlisting, rejection, advancement, offers, and final decisions.
Does CandiLyt automatically reject candidates?
No. CandiLyt is decision support only. Human review remains required before any candidate is rejected or advanced.
Can teams see why a candidate is ranked higher?
Yes. CandiLyt is designed to show the evidence, gaps, role alignment, and open questions behind the recommendation.
Does CandiLyt use candidate data to train shared AI models?
CandiLyt's initial policy is not to use customer candidate data, interview feedback, or hiring outcomes to train shared models.
Questions
Privacy and security
How should we think about candidate data?
Candidate data should stay private to your organization and be handled according to your company's hiring, retention, access, and privacy requirements.
Can we limit who sees candidate information?
Business workflows should use role-based access and workspace controls so only the right team members can review sensitive hiring data.
Where can we review the responsible AI approach?
The Security and Responsible AI page explains human review, access control, private candidate data, and prohibited inferences.
Questions
Pricing and billing
Can we start free?
Yes. The Free Trial covers one real role with 25 CVs evaluated and interview kits for that role. No card is needed.
What do we pay for?
Outputs, not seats. A Role Shortlist turns your JD into approved requirements, evaluates up to 150 CVs on that job and keeps the ranking current for 60 days. A Interview-Ready Candidate prepares every interview round for one candidate. Users are unlimited.
What if a role gets more than the included CVs?
Each CV evaluated beyond 150 on a role costs ₹5. Nothing stops; the amount is added to your next purchase.
Which option fits an agency?
Buy the 5-Role Pack for the next few openings or the 24-Role Annual Pack for the year. Credits stay valid for 12 months and are used only when a role's first CV is evaluated.
Are retries or repeats charged?
No. Retries, failed processing, re-evaluating the same CV on the same job and re-preparing a kit for the same candidate and round are never charged.
Do we need to book a demo?
No. Create a free account, try CandiLyt on a real role, then buy roles and candidates as you need them.
Questions
Setup and integrations
How long does setup take?
A team can start with one role, upload candidates, and review the shortlist without redesigning the whole hiring process.
Can CandiLyt work alongside existing tools?
Yes. CandiLyt is meant to improve candidate evaluation and interview decisions while your current ATS or recruiting workflow continues to manage pipeline operations.
What should we prepare before testing CandiLyt?
Prepare a job description, a few candidate CVs, and the must-have requirements your team actually cares about for the role.
