Lantern offers an AI hiring manager that learns a company's definition of an exceptional hire, tests roles against the talent market, and then sources, interviews, assesses, and schedules candidates. It combines calibration, talent intelligence, candidate outreach, AI interviews, technical assessments, and scheduling in one system so teams do not need a separate ATS or sourcing tool.
