Outstaffer AI Recruiter automates up to 90% of the hiring process with AI interviews, saving 15–20 hours per hire, improving speed, fairness & quality.

Outstaffer, the all-in-one AI Recruitment, HR, and Employer of Record (EOR) platform, announced the launch of Outstaffer AI Recruiter, a managed recruitment service powered by Anna, its conversational AI that conducts natural, human-like interviews with candidates.

Trained on tens of thousands of conversational AI interviews across APAC over 12 months, Outstaffer AI Recruiter has proven its ability to process inbound applications, conduct structured interviews, score candidates, and produce validated shortlists faster and more fairly than traditional recruitment — while maintaining human oversight throughout.

Outstaffer AI Recruiter shows what’s possible when conversational AI and human expertise work together — faster hiring, stronger shortlists, and a fairer process for businesses and candidates alike.”

By combining AI-led interviews with recruiter validation, Outstaffer AI Recruiter automates up to 90% of the hiring process — from application intake and first-round interviews to ranking and shortlisting — without requiring any software setup or training. The result: verified shortlists in 4–7 days, 15–20+ hours saved per role, and a significantly better candidate experience.

“Most businesses are frustrated with spending hours processing hundreds of inbound applications or paying large recruitment fees for agencies to do it for them,” said Thomas Derum, Founder and CEO of Outstaffer. “Outstaffer AI Recruiter is a managed service that fixes that problem. It interviews, assesses, and ranks every candidate, with Outstaffer’s recruiters reviewing and validating each result to deliver a shortlist in days. Hiring managers only meet AI-assessed and recruiter-validated finalists — saving hours of time and effort. No CV slog, no screening calls — just meaningful final interviews with the best applicants. And because there’s no software to install or learn, companies can embed AI into their hiring process immediately. Candidates benefit too: every applicant gets an interview, an outcome, and a response, creating a faster, fairer, and better candidate experience.”

MEET ANNA: CONVERSATIONAL AI THAT INTERVIEWS LIKE A HUMAN
At the heart of Outstaffer AI Recruiter is Anna, a conversational AI agent trained to conduct natural, human-like interviews with candidates — 24/7, across time zones and countries. Anna interviews like a senior recruiter, asking follow-up questions, engaging in context-appropriate ways, and adapting her tone and pacing to each candidate’s responses.

Independent research covering 70,000+ applications found that AI-led interviews, when paired with recruiter oversight, produced outstanding results:

• 78% of applicants chose the AI interviewer when given a choice.
• 71% of open-ended feedback for AI interviews was positive, compared with 52% for human interviews.
• +12% more job offers, +18% more job starts, and +17% higher 30-day retention.
• 45% fewer reports of gender-based discrimination.
• 92.6% candidate acceptance rate with an average NPS of 8.97.

Every interview Anna conducts is recorded, transcribed, and scored across 100+ skill dimensions, including customer service skills, CEFR language level, and critical thinking. Outstaffer recruiters then review, validate, and deliver ranked shortlists — ensuring the speed of AI and the judgment of human expertise work together seamlessly.

REINVENTING THE HIRING PROCESS
