DawnStep surfaces the right candidates.
Step up your hiring.
DawnStep screens every applicant, runs the first interview, and writes the debrief — so your team spends time on the candidates who matter, not the ones who don't.

The hiring loop, rewired
Every hire gets stuck in the same three places.
DawnStep unblocks all three — before your team opens the kanban in the morning.
Hundreds of applicants, one inbox.
DawnStep scores every applicant against a rubric built from your job description, so the shortlist writes itself.
Screening calls that never happen.
Buster runs a structured 30-minute interview with every candidate — in parallel, any time zone, three languages.
Debriefs written from memory.
Every interview produces a scored transcript, a per-competency breakdown, and cited quotes before your team meets.
What's inside
A hiring stack, not a hiring toy.
Every surface your team touches — built for the speed you want, the auditability procurement wants, and the rigour your best engineers expect.
A 30-minute structured interview with every applicant.
Buster runs multi-turn conversations in English, Vietnamese or Thai, with ten voice personas to choose from. Proctoring is built in — gaze tracking, tab-switch detection, a clean integrity score. You get a full transcript, a weighted rubric score, and a per-competency breakdown with cited quotes.
- Multi-turn, adaptive questioning
- Three languages, ten voices
- Live proctoring with integrity score

Buster clears the pipeline while you sleep.
Candidates below 60% are auto-rejected with a personalised email. 60–75% move to Screening for a lighter-touch follow-up. Your standout candidates skip the queue and land straight in front of your hiring manager. Every move is logged, auditable, and reversible.
- Rules respect your existing workflow
- Buster-proof override for high-signal candidates
- Full audit trail per action

Invited to AI interview
The rubric writes itself — and evolves with you.
DawnStep reads the job description and proposes a weighted rubric (four to eight criteria, normalised to 1.0). Edit any criterion, mark the non-negotiables as essential, and DawnStep re-scores every past interview against the new bar. No more stale criteria, no more inconsistent hiring bars across the team.
- Auto-generated from the JD
- Essential-criteria gating
- One-click recalibration across past interviews

How it works
Three steps. No implementation team required.
Connect your stack in an afternoon.
Sign in with Microsoft Entra, Google Workspace or any OIDC provider. Verify your sending domain in SES-backed email. Paste a job description. You're ready.
Invite every applicant to an AI interview.
The rubric auto-generates from the JD. Buster emails candidates, runs a 30-minute proctored interview, and scores each transcript against your weighted criteria.
Open the kanban already triaged.
Weak candidates are auto-rejected with a personalised email. Strong ones land in Client Round with a scored debrief. Your team only meets the candidates that matter.

Recruiters
Stop living in the applicant inbox.
Every morning your kanban is already sorted. Buster handled the rejections. You spend the day on the ten candidates your hiring manager actually wants to meet.
Hiring managers
Walk into every interview pre-briefed.
Before the call, you have a scored transcript, competency strengths, gaps, and three direct quotes. No more reading the CV in the elevator.
Candidates
Everyone gets a real conversation.
Every applicant lands an interview — not a keyword filter. Feedback is specific, honest, and bilingual where it matters.
