Speaks the trade
It asks a technician about no-starts and live data, an advisor about write-ups and the service drive, a salesperson about a buyer who stalls on price. Follow-ups come from their own resume.
Built for automotive
Not a generic HR bot. An interviewer that knows a dealership.
Cenivoz was built for one industry: automotive retail. It interviews the people who keep a dealership running, from the service bay and the parts counter to the showroom floor and the body shop, and asks them the questions your department managers would.

Why industry-specific matters

A scorecard your managers trust
Technical skill, problem solving, communication, confidence and behavior, a recommendation, and the recording to check it against.
Your must-ask questions
"Do you have your own tools?" "Are you ASE certified?" "Can you work Saturdays?" Asked word for word, every time.
Fits your DMS and ATS

FAQ
Questions dealers ask us.
It runs the first round of hiring for car dealerships. It reads and scores each applicant's resume against the job, invites them to interview the moment they apply, interviews them by phone or on the web whenever suits them (nights and weekends included), and gives your managers a scorecard, a recommendation, the full transcript and the recording. Your team decides who to meet.
As fast as they like. The invitation goes out automatically as soon as their resume is processed, usually seconds after they apply. They pick a time that suits them, any hour of the day or night, and the next open slot is usually only minutes away. A typical interview takes about 15 minutes, and the scorecard is ready as soon as it ends.
Yes. You can send applicants in from your ATS, careers page or DMS through our REST API and get results back automatically by webhook, so nothing about your current workflow has to change. Or use the Cenivoz hiring workspace on its own, or both.
Yes. Add screening questions to a job ("Do you have your own tools?", "Can you work Saturdays?") and the interviewer asks every one word for word. For yes/no questions you can set the answer you are looking for; the interviewer never reveals it.
No. It recommends; your team decides. It never discusses pay or makes promises about the outcome. Those questions are passed to your hiring team.
Yes, and with single stores too. Each rooftop has its own workspace, jobs, applicants and interviewer, and group executives see all of their stores from one login and switch between them. A group can connect its ATS with API keys per store.
