Textio, a leader in recruiting tools, has launched Lavalier, an interview intelligence platform designed to help recruiting teams conduct structured interviews that gather evidence and improve quality of hire. Lavalier is now available and free to start, with transparent and scalable pricing.
The rapid advancement of AI is redefining the competencies required across roles, emphasizing skills such as navigating ambiguity and rapid experimentation. Traditional interview methods often rely on inconsistent questions, subjective judgments, and limited evidence, leading to missed opportunities for high-impact hires.
“Lavalier gives companies a fundamentally new way to find and hire high-quality talent,” said Colleen Gallagher, CEO of Textio. “The bar for what makes a great hire is shifting fast. AI and evolving company needs are redefining the skills that matter for nearly every role. But most teams are still evaluating candidates the same way they’ve always done it: inconsistent interviews, subjective opinions, and no real evidence. That gap is where you lose the people who would have actually transformed your team.”
Lavalier bridges this gap by enabling recruiting teams to design and execute structured, evidence-focused interviews from start to finish.
Lavalier streamlines the entire interview process while elevating decision quality:
These capabilities save significant time on coordination and preparation while delivering more consistent, fair, and effective interviews.
“Lavalier has been great to use. I loved how it actively helped me track questions and suggest new ones while I was interviewing candidates,” said Angela Martin, Operating Partner, Bloomberg Beta. “It felt natural. And having the notes and recording post-interview is so helpful.”
“Recruiting great talent efficiently is everyone's dream. But the reality of recruiting is often the opposite — the right questions aren't asked, important flags go unnoticed, candidate notes aren't taken or shared, balls are dropped,” said Aileen Lee, founder of Cowboy Ventures and Textio board member. “Lavalier works in the background to catch all the things — supporting companies to make the right hires with way less administrative overhead."
