A person signs off.
Then you see it.
BitStage keeps candidate evidence private and controlled. AI organizes the rehearsal. A BitStage recruiter reviews it and signs off before a shortlist reaches you.
01 - Recruiter sign-off
What “recruiter-verified” means
A BitScore only exists after a recruiter signs off. Before that, there is no number - not to you, and not to the candidate.
AI-organised
The model transcribes the rehearsal and lays out the evidence against the role. It does not decide.
Recruiter-verified
A BitStage recruiter watches the rehearsal, checks it against the role, and signs off. Their name is on it.
You decide
You get the recording, the transcript and the recruiter's note. The hire is yours.
02 - The score
The score reads words, not voices.
A BitScore is built from the transcript, the response timing, and what the candidate actually did in the scenario. Facial analysis, voiceprinting, voice identification, voice-tone analysis, prosody analysis and emotion detection are not used to score anyone.
- On Stage Door, when all components are present: one third resume, one third rehearsal, one third recruiter.
- On Centre Stage, when all components are present: two fifths resume, one fifth rehearsal, two fifths recruiter.
- If a component is unavailable, the remaining weights are rebalanced. The recruiter's weight is the same on both - only the middle third subdivides.
- Five traits: communication, customer and stakeholder handling, problem solving and judgment, composure and professionalism, execution and accuracy.
Practice rehearsals never produce a number. A candidate practising on their own sees Ready, Almost Ready or Not Ready, and nothing else.

From application to sign-off
Four steps. Nothing happens between them that you cannot see.
Candidate applies or joins a rehearsal
A candidate applies to a role or accepts a rehearsal invite from your hiring team.
Candidate completes a recorded rehearsal
Before recording starts, candidates see clear consent and data-use information.
BitStage organizes the evidence
We create transcripts, feedback, and BitScore to help your team review responses consistently.
Recruiter verification
A BitStage recruiter reviews the rehearsal evidence, candidate context, strengths, risks, and role fit before recommendations are delivered.

Who can access it
Access is limited to people and systems that need it for the relevant hiring workflow.
- Candidate (where applicable)
- Relevant employer users
- Authorized BitStage personnel for support and operations

Recording is never hidden.
Before a rehearsal starts, candidates see clear recording and data-use information - so they know what will be captured, why it matters, and how it supports the hiring process.
AI helps organize evidence. Humans make decisions.
BitScore, transcripts, recordings, and feedback help your team review candidates more consistently. They support the decision - they should not be the only reason for a hiring outcome.
Security you can count on
Platform safeguards protect candidate evidence, account access, and operational data - including encryption, role-based access where available, private media links, and monitoring.
