Overview

Sapia.ai runs AI chat interviews. Candidates answer on their phone. The vendor bills per hire with unlimited interviews, and says the best fit is 500-plus hires a year. Cost per hire is tailored to annual volume. There is no public dollar card. Named ATS connections include iCIMS, SmartRecruiters, and SAP SuccessFactors. A Skills Intelligence API was announced with developer docs.

High-volume employers pick Sapia to screen at scale without booking live first rounds. Pricing is sales-quoted and buying starts with a demo. The product was formerly PredictiveHire.
