What it does
Olivia is a recruiting chatbot that talks to job candidates over text message or chat rather than a web form. Candidates ask Olivia questions about a job, and Olivia answers, screens them, and books an interview time; it also sends offer letters and onboarding paperwork once someone is hired. Recruiters set up the conversation flows and watch results from a dashboard. It is made by Paradox, a company Workday bought in 2025, and connects to major systems like Workday and SAP SuccessFactors with an open API for custom setups. Paradox reports Olivia can automate a large share of routine scheduling and screening work, cutting the manual back-and-forth recruiters used to do by text and phone.
Where it can help
This fits a team that hires in high volume, such as retail, warehouse, or call center roles, where candidates often apply from a phone and text-based screening fits how they already communicate. A realistic start is one location or one job family as a pilot before a wider rollout. Public pricing is not listed; as a rough guess, expect a basic setup to cost low thousands of dollars a month and a full enterprise rollout much more, and confirm the real quote with sales. Because Workday closed its purchase of Paradox in October 2025, confirm current packaging and availability directly with Workday before committing. One risk is over-automating early candidate contact, so keep a path for a candidate to reach a real recruiter fast.
