Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about how Aecho Recruiter works and how it can benefit your organization

What is Aecho Recruiter?

Aecho Recruiter is an AI-powered recruitment platform that uses voice analysis to evaluate candidates across technical abilities, soft skills, and cultural fit. It streamlines the hiring process from job creation to final selection, dramatically reducing time-to-hire and cost-per-hire while improving selection quality.

How does the voice analysis actually work?

Our technology analyzes voice acoustics—tone variations, pitch, rhythm, and other non-verbal patterns—to identify correlations with specific traits and abilities. The system evaluates aspects like communication style, emotional intelligence, and cognitive processing that traditional assessments often miss. Importantly, we don't analyze the content of answers, only the acoustic patterns.

What specific metrics does Aecho track?

Aecho evaluates candidates on professional competencies (leadership, problem-solving, communication), work style (collaborative vs. independent), personality traits (openness, resilience, adaptability), career growth orientation, stress management, and cultural fit—all presented as a comprehensive Job Match Score.

Do candidates need special equipment for interviews?

No special equipment is needed. Candidates can complete interviews using any computer or mobile device with a microphone. Our system is designed to compensate for different audio quality levels, ensuring consistent analysis regardless of the device used.

What does the implementation process look like?

Implementation typically takes 1-2 business days and includes creating customized job profiles, configuring assessment parameters, setting up user accounts, and optional integration with your existing ATS or HRIS. Our team provides full support throughout the process, including training for your recruitment team.

Can Aecho integrate with our existing recruitment systems?

Yes, Aecho Recruiter integrates with most major Applicant Tracking Systems and HR platforms through our API. We offer standard integrations for systems like Workday, Taleo, Greenhouse, and Lever, with custom integration options available for other platforms.

How secure is candidate data on the platform?

Aecho maintains strict data security protocols that comply with SOC 2, GDPR, and other industry standards. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with regular security audits. We maintain limited data retention policies and provide comprehensive tools for data management in compliance with privacy regulations.

What is the pricing structure?

Aecho uses a per-hire pricing model with volume-based tiers: small companies (under 500 hires/year) at $600/hire, mid-sized (500-5,000 hires/year) at $500/hire, and large enterprises (5,000+ hires/year) at $400/hire. Custom pricing is available for organizations with unique requirements.

How does Aecho handle multilingual candidates?

Aecho's analysis works across all languages as it focuses on acoustic features rather than linguistic content. The system evaluates universal speech patterns like rhythm, tone, and modulation that remain consistent regardless of the language spoken, making it effective for global hiring needs.

Is Aecho effective for all industries and roles?

While Aecho works across various industries, it's particularly effective for roles where soft skills, communication, and cultural fit significantly impact success—such as leadership, sales, customer service, and collaborative technical positions. The platform allows customization of evaluation criteria for specific industry requirements.

What measurable results have companies seen?

Organizations using Aecho typically report: 85-95% reduction in time-to-hire (from weeks to days), 75-90% decrease in recruitment costs, 60-70% reduction in new hire turnover, and significant improvements in employee performance ratings and team satisfaction scores.

How does Aecho handle high-volume recruitment?

Our platform scales efficiently for high-volume hiring, processing unlimited concurrent interviews without compromising analysis quality. The system automatically prioritizes and ranks candidates, streamlining the selection process even when managing thousands of applications. Custom workflows can be created for specific high-volume scenarios.
