Guide Aria

What Guide Aria is

Guide Aria is an AI agent for recruiting coordination that automates interview scheduling workflows. It can schedule phone screens, request panel availability and arrange panel interviews, manage reschedules, and schedule debriefs. If an interviewer declines, Aria can seek a qualified replacement available at the same time; when no valid swap is available, it can propose a new time. Candidate messages are sent as the user, using existing templates and workflows.

Copilot drafts actions for review. Optional Autopilot can execute configured workflow steps after sending a notification, with about 15 seconds to intervene. After a workflow has run at least once, Aria builds a deduced workflow for that job and stage based on how the user handled it. Guide offers Aria on the web and through a Google Chrome extension that enables it within an ATS. Its technical onboarding materials cover Greenhouse, Ashby, Slack, Google Calendar, Zoom, Okta, CoderPad, CodeSignal, HackerRank, PagerDuty, and Coderbyte. Guide says it is SOC 2 audited and certified, GDPR and CCPA compliant, and encrypts data at rest and in transit. Its security controls include TLS 1.3+, AES-256 encryption for sensitive access tokens at rest, and SSO and 2FA support. Plans include unlimited users and usage; pricing is on request.
