Hirify – when Voice API helps enforce sovereignty in HR

Who is Hirify ?

Hirify is an HR software which targets organizations that conduct many interviews, such as recruitment agencies, consulting firms, and ESNs. It has three components:

• Transcription and report. Interviews (video, in-person, phone) are recorded, transcribed, and summarized according to the recruiter’s templates. The report is directly integrated into the ATS candidate profile.
• Database reliability. Hirify audits the ATS database (duplicates, incomplete profiles, outdated data) and provides management dashboards.
• Sourcing from the pool. An AI agent finds candidates already encountered in the ATS who match a new position, based on interview data.

Hirify is built on a sovereign chain:

• Mistral models for analysis, databases, and processing hosted on Scaleway,
• applications hosted on Scalingo—all in France.
• An internal AI assistant connected to Hirify’s data ensures recruiters no longer need to paste CVs or notes into consumer-grade tools.

No duplicate ATS data is stored beyond what is strictly necessary.

Robin Marquet, CEO/CTO at Hirify

A recruitment interview is among the most sensitive data an organization handles. It includes career history, salary, personal situation, reasons for departure, and more. Our clients, agencies, and HR departments, primarily choose us because they want to know where this data goes and who has access to it.

Only shortcoming: voice

Calls made from Hirify relied on an American VoIP provider (Telnyx). The audio stream of an interview, the most sensitive part of the process, traveled through an entity subject to U.S. law, which compromised the company’s sovereignty stance and raised concerns with increasingly demanding DPOs.

Intelligence behind the Voice API

With the Orange Voice API, calls are placed, carried, and received by a French operator over French lines. From the initial ring to the candidate’s record in the ATS, the data never leaves the country. Hirify can now present a complete, voice-inclusive chain to a DPO or CIO without needing to justify an exception.

Use cases and practical applications

The phone is the primary tool for recruiters in agencies, for pre-screening and outreach. Until now, these calls were either outside the system (fixed or mobile lines, manually re-entered) or dependent on our American VoIP component.

With the Orange Voice API, calls made by recruiters on their Orange lines are captured in audio without changing their habits. No softphone installation, no bot to invite, no button to press. The recruiter calls as usual.

• Candidate calls on the recruiter’s Orange line
• Audio file retrieved via Voice API
• Transcription and analysis by Hirify’s pipeline (STT, Mistral models hosted in France)
• Structured report, key points, salary expectations, availability, recruiter’s reservations
• Candidate profile automatically updated in the agency’s ATS
• The candidate becomes searchable in the pool for future roles

Each call enriches the ATS. Interview data is in the candidate’s profile, accessible to the entire team and sourcing.

Roadmap

Testing in production on fixed lines with an initial client agency (about 20 calls per week), extending to mobile lines starting in October.

Benefits of the Voice API for Hirify

• It solves Hirify’s last dependency outside Europe. Voice was the only stack component that couldn’t be presented as sovereign. Orange now allows to deliver a complete, end-to-end solution.
• It unlocks the most used channel by Hirify’s clients. Most short qualification exchanges happen over the phone. Without Voice API, daily agency interactions were poorly handled.
• Zero friction for recruiters. Recruiters do not need to change their working methods. Voice API integrates at the line level, not at the workstation level.
• A partner that talks product. Orange supported Hirify as launch partners, with direct access to the teams building the API and clear documentation.
