LIVE — REAL-TIME INTELLIGENCE FOR RECRUITING CALLS
You've seen what AI can do with your writing, your research, your analysis. Paladin puts that same intelligence behind you on live calls — briefing you before you dial, surfacing the follow-up worth asking, flagging when the story on the phone drifts from the resume on file. The AI thinks at full power. You do what AI never could: actually be there.

Every other tool works before or after the interview. Deception happens live — and until now, the recruiter on the other end had a legal pad.
Six things happening on your screen while you're on the phone doing what you're great at
01
Before the phone rings, Paladin builds the case file: LinkedIn parsed and enriched, resume cross-referenced against the job description, gaps pre-flagged, must-ask questions generated. You walk in knowing more than they think you know.
02
The call streams to your dashboard in real time — speakers separated, sub-second latency. Every word, on the record, as it's said.
03
Follow-up questions generated from what the candidate just said, cross-referenced against their file. The question worth asking, on screen while there's still time to ask it.
04
Technical terms, certifications, and industry jargon defined on your screen the moment they come up. Zero pretending.
05
Every claim checked against the resume, the LinkedIn profile, and the job description — live. When the story drifts from the file, you see it while you can still probe it.
06
Seconds after hang-up: narrative summary, strengths, concerns, red flags, action items — filed to the candidate's history automatically. No note-taking. No memory gaps.
⚑ Paladin advises. You decide what to ask. Nothing talks to the candidate but you.
EXHIBIT B — ONE CALL, START TO FINISH
No desk phone, no softphone, no phone system to install. Your cell is the handset; your screen is the intelligence.
Drop in the req, the resume, and the LinkedIn URL. Paladin does the homework.
Profile summary, experience highlights, pre-flagged gaps, and a structured call script — generated before you dial.
Paladin dials your own cellphone, then bridges the candidate — who sees a Paladin-issued business number, never your personal cell.
Live transcript, follow-up questions, instant definitions, trust flags — while you talk, without breaking your flow.
Summary, assessment, and action items filed automatically. A full intelligence-weighted report is one click away.
We didn't wrap an API in a user interface. We built the telephony — and the AI layer rides on top of it, on real phone calls, today.
Paladin is an Ashford & Briggs product, born from years of real-world staffing experience.
We built Paladin because we lived the problem. As recruiters, we were drowning in research, notes, and follow-ups — and walking into calls where the candidate had more technology on their side than we did.
So we built something that's actually on the call with you. Not an AI that talks to candidates. Not a recording that gets scored after the moment to ask the follow-up is gone. A counter-intelligence layer that works while the conversation is happening — because that's when it matters.
Whether you're an independent recruiter or part of a staffing agency, Paladin fits the way you already work: your phone, your voice, your relationships. Just better informed.

From hang-up to filed summary
The demo is the product: we put a live call on the screen and you watch the file build itself. Thirty minutes, real phone lines, nothing staged.
