Human powered, AI supported. Aria sources, screens and schedules so your team spends its time on the conversations that matter.
One conversation with Aria starts the recruitment process.
LinkedIn, GitHub and the open web, searched with your criteria, ranked with evidence you can check.
Aria shows the search plan and how many people actually match it, free, so you never pay to discover a dead end.
Each candidate card shows which of your criteria they meet and where the proof sits on their profile. No black-box scores.
Weaker matches are shown, marked and unbilled, with the reason they fell short, instead of quietly disappearing.
Connect your own mailbox. Aria drafts in your voice, you approve, and every reply flows back into the pipeline.
Emails send through your connected Google or Microsoft account, so candidates reply to a person they can look up.
When a candidate replies with availability, Aria parses it and moves straight to booking. No copy-paste.
Aria remembers who your team has already approached and warns before anyone is emailed twice.
Aria matches the candidate’s stated availability against your calendar and books the Meet or Teams call: invite, link and all.
A candidate says “Tuesday afternoon works” and Aria finds the slot, creates the event and sends the invite.
Connected to your Google or Outlook calendar, so proposed times are ones you can actually make.
Interview kits and candidate briefs are prepared before the call, and follow-up tasks are drafted after it.
Two lanes built for the agency desk: place the candidate you already have, or find more like your best one.
Upload a CV and Aria builds a branded, anonymised candidate brief and researches the hiring managers worth pitching it to.
Start from one great profile and Aria finds the lookalikes: rated, evidenced and ready for outreach.
Engagements, candidates and interviews per client, with your agency’s own branding on candidate-facing documents.
From day one we believed the best hires aren't the ones who tick the most boxes, they're the ones who raise the standard around them, that belief shapes how we use AI. We don't treat it as a shortcut to push more CVs through faster. We use it to screen for genuine values alignment at scale, and strip out the bias that quietly narrows a talent pool and leaves every team looking and thinking the same. Aria handles the heavy lifting so the Talent Team spend their time where it counts.
What is Ask Aria? Ask Aria is the application behind this site: a recruitment workspace where Aria, our AI agent, finds candidates, screens CVs, drafts outreach and books interviews, always with a human approving what goes out. If you connect your Google or Microsoft account, Ask Aria uses that access only to send your recruiting email and schedule interviews from your own mailbox and calendar, and you can disconnect it at any time. See our Privacy Policy for the details.
Aria scans GitHub, LinkedIn and your bench in minutes. Ranked candidates with reasoning, not lists.
Every shortlist is calibrated against hiring manager notes, not just JD keywords. Aria understands fit.
AI proposes, humans decide. Your AiR consultant reviews every recommendation and handles the conversations that matter.
Aria is the AI agent at the heart of AiR. She handles the heavy lifting so your team and our consultants can focus on the high-judgement work: building relationships, calibrating with hiring managers, and getting offers across the line.
GitHub and LinkedIn X-Ray. Ranked profiles with evidence.
Bulk-upload a stack; Aria reads, scores, and flags blind-spots.
Google + Outlook in, candidate-friendly slots out.
Calibrated questions and structured scorecards per stage.
Time-to-hire, cost-per-hire, source ROI. All in one dashboard.
Hiring across borders means hiring across rule books. AiR is built from the ground up for the regulatory frameworks our customers actually live with, so you never have to chase a candidate consent, an EE return, or a B-BBEE report at the last minute.
Lawful basis, consent capture, retention windows, subject access requests.
Auto-generated EEA reports and designated-group tagging.
One-click scorecard packs for verification.
Every Aria action logged with timestamp and operator.
Connect Google and Aria works from your own mailbox and calendar, never reading your inbox, never training on your data. Exactly what we access, and why.
Aria runs on credits. Every action has a published price that never changes mid-month, and a search that returns nothing is never charged. Pick the plan that matches your hiring volume.
Prices in South African rand. Plan credits roll over while your subscription is active; the free plan’s daily allowance resets each day. Prefer annual billing? Choose Yearly at checkout and save 10%.

No. AiR is built on the principle of "Human in the loop, always." Aria handles the heavy lifting (sourcing, screening, scheduling), but your AiR consultant reviews every recommendation and manages the candidate conversations. AI proposes; humans decide.
Aria covers the full recruitment workflow:
Aria scans GitHub, LinkedIn (via X-Ray search) and your internal bench. Results are ranked with reasons so you see why a candidate has been surfaced, not just their name.
Shortlists are built against hiring manager notes and cultural context, not just job description keywords. Aria is designed to find candidates who fit your team, not just tick boxes.
The dashboard gives you a real-time view of your pipeline across all active roles: candidates by stage, sourcing activity, bulk CV uploads and analytics. Everything is in one place so you're never chasing updates across email threads.
Yes. The Bulk CV Upload feature lets you drop in a large stack at once. Aria reads and scores each one and surfaces the strongest matches with flags for anything that needs attention.
Yes. Aria integrates with both Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook, automatically generating candidate-friendly interview slots based on your team's availability.
Ask Aria is priced in credits rather than per seat. There's a free tier (2,000 credits a day) and paid plans from R1,999/month (Starter) through R4,999 (Pro) to R11,999 (Team), billed in South African rand with unused plan credits rolling over. Every action has a fixed, published credit price, so there are no surprise charges.
Ask Aria does everything an ATS does, tracking candidates through each hiring stage, and adds an AI agent that actively sources candidates, screens CVs and schedules interviews. Many teams use it as their ATS and recruitment software in one, replacing several disconnected tools.
Yes. Ask Aria is a full recruitment platform: sourcing, CV screening, interview scheduling, interview kits and pipeline analytics in one place. It works from your own Google or Microsoft mailbox and calendar, so it fits your existing workflow instead of adding another silo.
Two things. First, it's an AI agent that does the work of sourcing, screening and scheduling, not just a database you fill in yourself. Second, it's built for the South African market, with POPIA, Employment Equity and B-BBEE support baked in. AI proposes; your team always decides.
Yes. AiR is POPIA-ready by default, covering lawful basis, consent capture, retention windows and subject access requests.
Yes. Aria automatically generates EEA reports, handles designated-group tagging, and produces one-click B-BBEE scorecard packs for verification.
AiR honours EU data subject rights and is built to be GDPR-aware, which is important when hiring across borders.
The platform runs on SOC 2-audited infrastructure (Supabase + Cloudflare). Every action Aria takes is logged with a timestamp and operator record, giving you a full audit trail.
