# aperture, the intelligence firm for hiring

> aperture is the intelligence firm for hiring. an adaptive ai interviewer runs 15-minute behavioral conversations, scores candidates with λ-CORE + NeuralPrint across six dimensions with confidence weighting, and delivers a ranked shortlist a hiring team can act on. built-in applicant tracking system included. free during the pilot program.

## What aperture is

aperture replaces the resume pile and the scheduling grind with an ai interviewer that actually talks to every applicant. a candidate applies, aperture runs a short adaptive behavioral interview, and the hiring team gets a ranked shortlist with scored signal in under two days. the product covers the full top of funnel: intake, interview, scoring, ranking, and handoff to the hiring manager.

aperture is adaptive. no two interviews are the same. the conversation, the follow-up questions, and the pacing all shift to the candidate in front of the camera. the tone is warm, like a colleague, not a quiz and not a test.

## Who aperture is for

- recruiters and talent teams at startups and growth-stage companies who are drowning in applications
- hiring managers who want structured, consistent signal instead of gut-feel phone screens
- founders running early hiring without a dedicated recruiter
- larger teams using greenhouse, ashby, lever, or linkedin who want to automate the first round

## How λ-CORE works

λ-CORE is aperture's multi-factor scoring engine. it combines four sources of signal:

1. evidence from the candidate's adaptive interview
2. NeuralPrint cognitive resolution (how the person thinks, not just what they say)
3. cultural fit signal learned at runtime from the hiring company's own context
4. the candidate pool the role is hiring against

each candidate is scored across six dimensions, with confidence weighting that shows the hiring team where signal is strong and where it is thin.

the six dimensions are:
- cognitive reasoning, how the candidate breaks down novel problems
- domain knowledge, the depth of their field-specific understanding
- communication, clarity, structure, and responsiveness
- behavioral indicators, evidence of the behaviors the role needs
- collaboration, how they work with others and handle disagreement
- adaptability, how they respond when the question shifts under them

scores update as new evidence comes in during the interview, so the picture sharpens the more signal the interview collects.

## How NeuralPrint Axon works

NeuralPrint Axon is aperture's cognitive resolution engine. it captures how a person thinks: voice, face, gesture, fluency, reasoning topology. the output is a structured cognitive profile, not a recording or a single score.

- 94 NeuralLayers
- sub-200ms thought latency
- five-layer cognitive substrate
- built on five decades of peer-reviewed research in cognition, prosody, and behavioral science

NeuralPrint also learns each company's culture at runtime, so the same role at two different companies is scored against the actual culture fit each company is hiring for.

## How interviews work

- candidates self-schedule, no back and forth with a recruiter
- interviews are around 15 minutes, voice based
- the ai interviewer adapts: follow-up questions change based on the last answer
- the interview probes behavioral evidence, not trivia
- scoring happens immediately after the interview ends
- candidates get a respectful, warm experience that does not feel like a test

## Integrations

aperture works with:
- linkedin
- greenhouse
- ashby
- lever
- indeed

if a team has no ats, aperture's built-in ats covers role posting, pipeline management, notes, and candidate status. there is no requirement to adopt a separate ats to use aperture.

## Pricing

aperture is free during the current pilot program. there are no per-interview fees. there is no credit card required to sign up.

when paid subscriptions launch, every pilot account rolls into the free tier automatically. teams on the pilot do not lose access and do not get auto-charged.

aperture will never charge per interview. pricing will be seat or workspace based when it launches.

## Data and privacy

- aperture does not sell candidate data. ever.
- aperture does not sell customer data. ever.
- candidates are notified and asked for consent before an interview begins
- interview data is stored for the hiring team that ran the interview
- candidates can request access or deletion of their data
- the ai use transparency policy explains what models do and what humans still decide

## What aperture is not

- not a keyword resume screener
- not a coding test platform
- not a personality quiz
- not a replacement for human judgment on final hiring decisions
- not a product that sells your pipeline to anyone

## Common questions

**is aperture free?** yes, during the pilot. no card required. rollover to free tier when paid plans launch.

**does aperture replace recruiters?** no. it automates first-round screening and gives recruiters better starting material. final calls stay with humans.

**how long does a shortlist take?** under two days from job posting to ranked shortlist in typical pilots.

**how does aperture reduce bias?** every candidate gets the same structured, adaptive interview. scoring combines λ-CORE evidence with NeuralPrint cognitive signal and culture fit, not resume keywords. confidence weighting makes uncertainty explicit instead of hiding it behind a single number.

**what languages does the interviewer support?** english at launch, with additional languages rolling out through the pilot.

**can candidates retake an interview?** policies are set per workspace. default is one attempt with a review path if there is a technical failure.

**is aperture an ats?** yes, optionally. aperture includes a lightweight built-in ats and also integrates with greenhouse, ashby, lever, linkedin, and indeed for teams that already have one.

## Key differentiators

- adaptive interviews. no two are the same. NeuralPrint adapts the conversation to each candidate.
- multi-factor scoring (λ-CORE + NeuralPrint + culture signal + pool), confidence-weighted, not a single opaque number
- six-dimension behavioral framework instead of a scalar fit score
- built-in ats so small teams do not need another tool
- free pilot with rollover to the free tier, no bait and switch
- warmth: aperture talks to candidates like a colleague, not a robot
