SkillBrew.AI is AI screening software built for technical hiring at scale. It sits between the moment a candidate applies and the moment a recruiter spends time on them — running automated interviews, custom assessments, and integrity-verified evaluations as one combined screening layer. For recruiters and hiring teams, the platform removes manual screening entirely from early-stage hiring. Instead of phone screens and Level 1 interviews, candidates go through AI-powered workflows that validate actual skill — before any human effort is spent. Core products: AI Interviews — Async technical interviews conducted by a 3D avatar that reads the candidate's resume and the job description, then asks dynamic, context-aware questions that adapt in real time. Three modes: fully automated, manual (your questions), or hybrid. Delivers PDF reports for every candidate. AI Assessment Builder — Paste a job description and get a full, role-specific technical test in under 2 minutes. No static question banks. Questions are generated to match the actual skills in the JD. Candidates are auto-ranked on a leaderboard. HireFlow — Hiring workflow orchestration that turns a job role into a configured, multi-stage pipeline. Assign assessments and interviews at the right stage, move candidates automatically, and hand off a ranked shortlist to the ATS. BrewShield — Built-in proctoring across camera, screen, voice, and keystroke monitoring. Every assessment and interview session is integrity-checked. Suspicious behavior is flagged and logged in a full report. SkillBrew.AI is not an ATS. It doesn't replace Greenhouse, Lever, or Workday — it integrates alongside them. The platform's job is to ensure that by the time a recruiter opens a candidate profile, that candidate has already been evaluated, ranked, and integrity-verified.

Most candidates never get interviewed. They don't make it past the resume screen, so no one ever hears what they can actually do. That happens because interviews are expensive. Scheduling alone eats hours, and a first-round screen costs a real person a real hour. So teams filter hard on paper, because that's the only filter that scales. Cayde makes the first round cheap. Interviews run asynchronously, so candidates interview when they're ready, from anywhere, with no calendars to coordinate. Every interview is evaluated against criteria your team defines, consistently, and every score can be traced back to what the candidate actually said. Your team gets its hours back. That time goes where judgment actually matters: real conversations, alignment with the hiring manager, closing the people you want. And more candidates get a shot they wouldn't otherwise have. You don't get better hires by screening harder. You get them by seeing more people. See it at cayde.ai.
