Human powered, AI supported. Ask Aria is AiR’s recruitment platform: Aria sources, screens and schedules so your team spends its time on the conversations that matter.
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, books interviews and runs reference checks — 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, Stack Overflow, 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, Stack Overflow, 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.
Sends, chases, consolidates, and flags inconsistencies.
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.
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? It is 10% off. Just mention it when you get in touch.
Connecting Google is optional — Aria works without it. If you do connect, this is what we ask for and why, written to match what the consent screen actually requests.
Ask Aria is an AI recruitment assistant built and operated by AiR Recruitment Solutions, trading as AiR Talent. The app you grant access to is the same product described on this page, by the same company.
Aria is a recruitment assistant. You brief it in plain English and it does the legwork, with a person approving anything that reaches a candidate.
| Permission requested | What it lets Aria do | Why we need it |
|---|---|---|
| userinfo.email userinfo.profile |
See the email address and basic profile of the Google account you connect. | So we can show you which account is connected, and send invitations and email from the right identity. |
| calendar calendar.events |
Read your calendar’s busy times, and create or update the interview events Aria books for you. | Aria has to check your real availability before offering a candidate a time. Without it she would be guessing, and would double-book you. She only writes events she is booking on your behalf. |
| meetings.space.created | Create a Google Meet link for a meeting Aria has created. | So the interview she books has a working video link on it, instead of you adding one by hand. |
| gmail.send | Send email as you. It grants no ability to read, search or delete anything in your mailbox. | Candidate outreach lands better from your own address than from a system sender. Aria only sends messages you have read and approved. This sits on its own separate consent screen, so if you never send email through Aria you are never asked for it. |
Ask Aria’s use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. What we store, and for how long, is set out in our Privacy Policy.

Aria scans GitHub, Stack Overflow, 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.
