Every bad hire sounded good in the interview.
Caliber gives you the follow-up question that reveals whether the candidate actually did the work — live, while they're still in the call.
Built for founders, hiring managers, and recruiters running technical interviews.
The best next question — while you can still ask it.
Anyone can review an interview afterward. Caliber works during it: as the candidate answers, it drafts the single sharpest follow-up to ask next — the one that forces original recall instead of a rehearsed or memorized line.
- Verify · ownership · constraint. Every probe does one job: test whether the reasoning actually holds up, separate their work from the team's, or change a constraint and make them re-derive it live — the hardest thing to fake.
- Ready before they finish. The question builds as the candidate talks, so you have one in hand mid-answer — plus a fresh probe on the whole answer the moment they stop.
- It tells you which answer to probe. Caliber quietly flags the answer that suddenly reads like an LLM — so the follow-up lands exactly where it matters.
- A suggestion, not a script. Ask it as-is, reword it, or ignore it. Caliber proposes; the judgment stays human.
Answer 3 reads rehearsed — and Caliber already has the probe that breaks the act.
The problem isn't the first answer. It's the follow-up.
Candidates prepare stories. AI helps polish them. The first answer sounds great — and tells you almost nothing about whether they actually did the work.
Caliber gives you the follow-up that reveals:
- Ownership. Was it their decision, or the team's?
- Trade-offs. What did they give up — and why?
- Reasoning. Does the logic still hold when you change a constraint?
- Real experience. What actually broke — and how did they know?
The follow-up that changes the answer.
A rehearsed answer survives the first question. It rarely survives the right second one.
Three real probes from production.
The kind of follow-up Caliber surfaces live — mid-answer, before the candidate can pivot back to the script.
From CV to scorecard, in five steps.
Set up in under a minute, then let Caliber run quietly beside you for the whole interview.
-
1
Add the candidate
Drop their CV (PDF, DOCX or image) and Caliber reads the name, role and key claims and suggests a rubric — or type it in, or paste a LinkedIn URL. You get a pre-interview brief before the call.
-
2
Set your rubric
Confirm the dimensions you'll score on — use the suggested set or your own. This is what every answer gets measured against.
-
3
Record & run the interview
Hit record and talk. Caliber transcribes both sides live, knows who said what, and stays invisible during screen share — Zoom, Meet and Teams never see it.
-
4
Caliber hands you the next question
As the candidate talks, Caliber drafts the sharpest follow-up to ask next — ready before they finish, plus a fresh one on the whole answer when they stop. Rubric coverage fills in, a quiet flag tells you which answer to probe, and you can still ask Caliber anything by voice or text.

5
Generate & export the scorecard
One click turns the whole conversation into a structured scorecard — verdict, dimension scores, strengths and follow-ups — in about 60 seconds. Export the PDF to your ATS and draft follow-up emails.
A second interviewer focused on what matters.
Seven capabilities running in one invisible window — from the brief you read beforehand to the PDF you drop into your ATS.
Live transcription
Both sides of the call, diarized in real time. Caliber knows who said what — interviewer vs. candidate — with sub-second latency.
Ask this next
Caliber drafts the sharpest follow-up as the candidate talks — verify a claim, test ownership, or change a constraint and make them re-derive it live. A ready question in hand, mid-answer.
AI-answer detection
Under the hood, Caliber compares each answer to the candidate's own earlier ones. When a later answer suddenly reads like an LLM, it flags it — so you know exactly which one to probe.
Live rubric coverage
A heads-up display that fills in as you probe each dimension — and a next-question nudge so you never leave the call with gaps.
60-second scorecards
Click "generate" and Caliber turns the entire conversation into a verdict, dimension scores, strengths, follow-ups and a PDF — straight into your ATS.
Vision mode
Reading a CoderPad or a shared design? Caliber sees the screen too, so its read of the answer includes the code on the candidate's screen.
Invisible during share
Excluded from every macOS screen-capture API. Zoom, Meet, Teams, QuickTime — none of them see Caliber. Only you do.
Built for interviews that involve real PII.
You're handling resumes, names and live conversations. Caliber is engineered so that stays yours.
Encrypted sessions
Your sign-in is stored in the macOS Keychain. Scorecards sync over TLS, scoped to your account only.
You own deletion
One click wipes your account and every scorecard from the cloud. No retention games, no dark patterns.
Invisible by design
Excluded from macOS capture APIs at the OS level — not a hack, a hardened-runtime entitlement.
Enterprise-grade controls
SSO/SAML, data-residency control and SLA-backed uptime available on the Enterprise tier.
It measures what no one else does.
Most interview tools score what already happened. Caliber tracks which of its probes you actually use — the first real signal of how interviewers dig for depth.
- Asked. You used the probe as-is.
- Edited. You reworded it, then asked.
- Followed. You asked the same idea in your own words.
Every interview turns into signal about how you interview — the foundation we're building personalization on. It's the moat a generic note-taker can't copy.

Pricing questions
How does the free trial work?
Download Caliber, install, and start your trial automatically. You get 2 full interviews or 7 days from install, whichever comes first. All features unlocked. No credit card. When you hit either limit, the app prompts you to subscribe — your data and settings stay intact.
Can I switch tiers later?
Yes — upgrade or downgrade anytime from the app. Upgrades take effect immediately and we prorate the difference. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period.
What counts as an "interview"?
An interview is a single session: you click the mic, run the call, then click "Generate scorecard" at the end. Drafting a brief, replaying a transcript, or exporting a PDF doesn't count — only the live interview session itself. The counter resets at the start of each monthly billing cycle.
What happens if I hit my monthly cap?
You'll see a heads-up at 70% of your cap and again at 90% so it never sneaks up on you. If you hit 100%, Caliber asks you to upgrade — but we'll never throttle you mid-interview. The session you're already running always finishes and exports a scorecard. Solo gets 25 / month, Pro gets 150 / month, Team gets 500 / month pooled across your 5 seats, and Enterprise is sized to your volume.
Paid charges aren't refunded after upgrade — the 7-day trial is your evaluation window — but you can cancel anytime from inside the app and the next charge stops immediately. Full text in the refund policy.
Your next interview, read in real time.
Install it, run one call, and watch the scorecard write itself. No card. No setup. Just you, sharper.
