SmoothHiring Adds AI Hiring Pipeline, AI Video Assessments and Workforce Tools to Its Recruiting Platform

SmoothHiring, the AI hiring platform for small and mid-sized businesses, today announced a set of new features for its recruiting software. The release adds an AI-powered hiring pipeline, AI video assessments, AI interview kits and candidate enrichment, and new Time and Attendance and Performance and Engagement modules. Together, the updates are designed to reduce manual screening work for lean HR teams and give employers one system that runs from the first job post through a new hire's first months on the job.

Small hiring teams often juggle job boards, shared inboxes, calendar invites and spreadsheets to fill a single role, and the work rarely ends at the offer letter. The new features target the steps that take the most time in that process: reviewing every new applicant, running first-round interviews, preparing interviewers, and keeping track of new employees once they start.

What's new

AI-powered hiring pipeline

Employers can now set up automated steps that run the moment a candidate applies. SmoothHiring's AI reviews the resume and qualifications against the job, moves qualified candidates to the next stage of the pipeline, sends a personalized email, and can assign SmoothHiring's patented psychometric assessment in behavioral, timed, video or mixed formats. Hiring teams set the rules that decide when each step runs.

AI video assessments

SmoothHiring's AI now generates video assessment questions tailored to each role. Candidates record their answers on their own schedule, from any device, and the AI analyzes responses, including communication skills, with structured scoring so every candidate is measured on the same criteria. The feature supports multilingual language proficiency testing and lets team members share candidates, leave notes and compare evaluations. AI video assessments are available on the Scale plan and as the SmoothHiring Video Agent add-on.

AI interview kits, candidate enrichment and advanced benchmarks

Interviewers can generate a complete interview kit with questions tailored to the role and industry, for technical and non-technical positions alike. AI candidate enrichment adds detail to candidate profiles, and advanced AI benchmarks let employers build a success profile from their own top-performing employees and compare applicants against it.

Time and Attendance, Performance and Engagement

SmoothHiring now extends past hiring into day-to-day workforce management. The Time and Attendance module covers clock-in and clock-out tracking, automated timesheets, PTO requests, overtime alerts, shift scheduling, payroll sync and attendance reports. The Performance and Engagement module adds performance reviews, goal tracking, engagement surveys, peer recognition, one-on-one check-ins, retention insights and manager dashboards.

Built with AI governance in mind

SmoothHiring has also updated its Terms of Use and Privacy Policy to include new AI governance, security and compliance requirements.
