Hiring & Screening

Evaluate sales candidates with real selling scenarios — before interviews.

Using Kendo for Hiring

Kendo allows you to assess candidates by sending them real AI-powered sales simulations. This lets you:

• See how they pitch

• Hear how they handle objections

• Review their communication skills

• Score candidates fairly and consistently

• Save time by interviewing only qualified reps

Tip: It reveals how someone actually sells, not just how they interview.

Key Steps:

1. Sending Roleplay Invitations to Candidates.

Invite candidates to a full AI sales assessment in one click.

Go to AI Roleplay → Choose the AI Agent → Select the AI Prospect you want candidates to face

1. Share the Assessment Link
