Multilingual hiring and skills-assessment platform. Employers run structured, multilingual candidate assessments and adaptive skills assessments, keep every score separate and explainable, and deliver audit-ready hiring evidence into their ATS or HRIS. People keep authority over offer, hire and reject decisions. Eight-stage hiring journey: 1. Application: submissions, role context, consent, documents and history. 2. CV Intelligence: structured career evidence, kept separate from assessment-based fit. 3. AI Voice Screen: role-grounded screening with exact evidence spans and human review. 4. Assessments: cognitive, personality, situational, integrity and work-sample evidence. 5. Structured Interviews: approved kits and independent scorecards. 6. Hiring Advisor: compares evidence, gaps and risks. Decision support only. 7. Human Validation: qualified people resolve exceptions and decide the outcome. 8. ATS and HRIS: approved evidence delivered to the employer's system of record. Principles: no hidden combined score (CV, voice, assessment and interview evidence stay separate); every agent action resolves to auto-execute, require approval, or deny; delivery through reviewed connectors, REST API, webhooks and governed MCP access. Languages: product surfaces in English, German, French, Arabic and Italian.

Research ### Shepard Tone Agents (published 2025-10-01) https://sirocco.ai/shepard-tone-agents. A framework for continuous AI improvement through recursive agent composition and orchestrated evaluation, without modifying model weights and without catastrophic forgetting. Agents operate at different "frequencies" (reasoning style, abstraction level, domain) and interact recursively, inspired by the Shepard tone auditory illusion. An orchestrator manages handoffs, scores improvement and can stop at a plateau. Each call is stateless, so earlier solutions are not overwritten. ### Articles and references - ABC of AI Agents: https://sirocco.ai/abc-of-ai-agents (glossary of 26 agent concepts) - AI Periodic Table: https://sirocco.ai/ai-periodic-table (interactive reference) - Stochasticity vs Randomness: https://sirocco.ai/stochasticity-vs-randomness (LLM sampling parameters) - Agentic AI: https://sirocco.ai/agentic-ai - What are AI models: https://sirocco.ai/what-are-ai-models - Understanding LLMs: https://sirocco.ai/understanding-llms - Retrieval Augmented Generation: https://sirocco.ai/retrieval-augmented-generation - Ethics and safety: https://sirocco.ai/ethics-and-safety ## 7.
