Lantern is an AI hiring manager that finds, interviews, and schedules candidates for you.
Lantern at a glance
Lantern is an AI hiring manager that learns a company's hiring standards and then sources, interviews, assesses, and schedules candidates for founders, HR leaders, and hiring teams.
Good for
- Hiring teams who want one system instead of separate sourcing, recruiting, and scheduling tools
- Companies that want candidates evaluated on evidence of past work rather than just titles and company names
- Enterprise teams that need audited security controls around candidate data and interviews
Questions people ask
What happens during Lantern's 15-minute calibration?
Lantern learns what exceptional looks like at your company, which tradeoffs matter, and what candidates need to prove, then pressure-tests the role against the talent market to sharpen or adjust the standard.
What does Lantern's Talent Intelligence feature do?
It connects your hiring goals to who the market can actually offer, explains tradeoffs, and pushes back when a familiar requirement is narrowing the search without improving the hire.
How does Lantern reduce false positives without missing good candidates?
Lantern compares evidence from a candidate's actual work against the hiring standard, which can hold back a familiar-looking profile with weak proof and surface a less obvious candidate with strong relevant evidence, while keeping counter-evidence and open questions visible.
Do we still need an ATS or separate sourcing tool with Lantern?
No separate ATS or sourcing tool is required; Lantern handles calibration, talent intelligence, execution, coordination, and learning in one place, while your team sets the standard, interviews candidates, and makes the final hiring decision.
Who makes the final hiring decision when using Lantern?
Lantern can run the sourcing, interviewing, and scheduling process, but it never makes the final hiring decision; a person on your team always approves or rejects any proposed change to the standard.
