Interviews vs Scheduling
Edesy's AI conducts actual interviews - asking questions, evaluating answers, scoring candidates. Paradox (Olivia) excels at scheduling, FAQs, and candidate engagement but doesn't conduct evaluative interviews.
Deep Screening vs Quick Qualification
Edesy asks follow-up questions, probes answers, and provides detailed evaluations. Paradox does basic qualification checks and captures information, but doesn't assess candidate quality deeply.
Different Hiring Stages
Paradox is best at the top of funnel - engaging applicants, answering questions, scheduling. Edesy is best at screening - the step between application and human interview.
Chatbot vs Interviewer

When AI interviews matter more than AI scheduling
"We already had Paradox for scheduling. Added Edesy for the screening step in between. Now candidates engage via Paradox, get screened by Edesy, then we schedule finals."

Common questions about choosing between platforms
The fundamental difference: Edesy conducts AI interviews that evaluate candidates. Paradox (Olivia) automates scheduling, FAQs, and candidate communication. Paradox is a conversational assistant; Edesy is an AI interviewer. They solve different problems.
Yes, they're complementary. Use Paradox for: candidate engagement, FAQ answering, scheduling coordination, onboarding. Use Edesy for: first-round screening interviews, technical assessments, candidate evaluation. Many enterprise customers use both.
Paradox can ask basic qualification questions (availability, experience level, certifications), but it's not designed for evaluative interviews. It doesn't assess answer quality, ask follow-ups based on responses, or provide candidate scores like Edesy does.
Depends on your bottleneck. If scheduling and candidate communication eat your time → Paradox. If conducting first-round screens eats your time → Edesy. For high-volume hiring, Edesy typically saves more time because screening is more time-intensive than scheduling.
Both require custom quotes for enterprise. Paradox tends to be priced on employee count or candidate volume for the full platform. Edesy is priced on interview volume. For pure screening needs, Edesy is often more cost-effective. For full-journey automation, Paradox's broader features may justify the cost.
Both work well but differently. Paradox excels at engaging candidates quickly and scheduling at scale. Edesy excels at screening candidates quickly so you only interview qualified people. For best results in high-volume: Paradox for engagement → Edesy for screening → humans for final interview.
