Talent Select AI provides a candidate assessment platform that integrates into the standard job interview process, serving HR technology platforms and hiring managers across various industries. The company's core offering utilizes Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyze the text transcripts of job interviews.

The platform generates scores based on established Industrial-Organizational (IO) psychology frameworks, such as the Big Five personality traits and the Great Eight Competencies, as well as proprietary measures like Grit and Proactiveness. The business operates on a B2B model, primarily offering its service via an API that integrates with clients' existing hiring platforms and applicant tracking systems. This allows organizations to embed psychometric assessments directly into their interview workflow, eliminating the need for separate, time-consuming tests for candidates. By analyzing word choice and conversational context from interview transcripts, the tool provides data-driven insights to hiring managers, aiming to improve confidence in selection decisions, reduce time-to-hire, and support diversity and inclusion initiatives by focusing solely on the content of the conversation.
