Our verdict on Tengai
Tengai is recruitment screening software for recruiters and hiring managers. Candidates complete structured pre-interviews with a conversational AI avatar, answering qualification, personality, behavior, and role-specific questions. Tengai records audio responses, scores candidates against configured criteria, and creates ranked shortlists for human review. It is positioned for high-volume hiring and specialist recruitment, with browser-based access for candidates on desktop or mobile devices.
The product’s main strength is a defined screening workflow rather than a general-purpose interview workspace. Recruiters can configure qualification questions and personality parameters, monitor interviews in real time, administer sessions, review recordings, and provide personalized candidate feedback. Automated scorecards and ranked shortlists can help teams apply consistent early-stage criteria before human review. ATS connectivity is available through an open API, with named integrations including Teamtailor, Zerolime, Jobylon, Talentech, and Varbi.
Tengai uses a contact-sales pricing model, so buyers need to speak with the vendor or request a demo before evaluating commercial fit. The product is a strong match for teams that want conversational screening, structured evaluation, and a narrower shortlist before recruiter time is invested. It is less suitable for buyers seeking publicly listed self-serve pricing or a broader platform centered on later-stage interviewing. English and Swedish are listed on the product page, while Danish and Norwegian are also listed on the contact page. Tengai AB is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, and was founded in 2019.
