Overview

Karat is the pioneer of the Interviewing Cloud, a technical hiring category that combines a global network of professional interviewers with a sophisticated AI-driven data platform. By 2026, Karat has evolved its technical architecture to include 'Brilliant,' an AI layer that provides real-time signal detection, behavioral analysis, and predictive success modeling for engineering candidates. Unlike automated coding tests, Karat utilizes live, human-led interviews conducted on its proprietary platform, ensuring a high-touch candidate experience while maintaining rigorous technical standards. Its architecture integrates directly with enterprise Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to provide a seamless data flow from application to hire. The platform specializes in solving 'interviewer fatigue' for high-growth tech companies by outsourcing the first-round technical screen to Karat's vetted experts. Their data-centric approach leverages over a million interview hours to benchmark candidate performance against industry standards, providing talent leaders with actionable insights into hiring efficiency and pipeline diversity.
