AI role-plays built for hiring
Stop Wasting Time and Energy on Salespeople Who Won't Deliver
Use AI-powered role-plays to see how candidates actually sell—before you waste time interviewing them.
Hiring Sales Reps Shouldn’t Be This Hard
But if you're spending hours screening the wrong people—or hiring reps who fold in the field—you’re not alone.
Drowning in Resumes?
You post a role and get buried in applications. Hours vanish as you sift through unqualified candidates while your real work piles up.
Interviews Don't Show Selling Skills
Interviews reveal talkers, not doers. You hire based on charm and confidence, only to discover they lack the drive, preparation, and consistency.
Bad Hires Are Too Expensive
One bad hire can cost you the quarter. The ramp time, lost revenue, and team disruption from a weak rep adds up fast—and it’s your credibility on the line.
Good candidates don't wait
Great reps have options—and they move fast. Your only advantage is speed—but traditional hiring moves too slowly to catch the best before they’re gone.

Common Questions About Using Skylar for Hiring
Does this replace my interviews entirely?
No. Skylar’s role-play helps you pre-qualify candidates based on how they sell. You’ll still do final interviews—but only with the top contenders.
How much time does this save compared to traditional screening?
Most hiring managers save 5-7 hours per open role. Instead of scheduling and conducting 8-10 initial screening calls (at 30-45 minutes each), you can review AI-analyzed role-play results in just 5-10 minutes per candidate. This lets you focus your live interview time only on promising candidates.
Is it hard to set up?
No. You can get completely set up in about 10 minutes. Then, just email the candidates’ contact info to [email protected]—Skylar will send them a role-play invite. You’ll get notified the moment they complete it, along with a quick-read assessment.
Can I customize the sales scenarios to match my product and industry?
Yes, completely. Our team creates these for you. Or you can do it yourself - on average it takes 3 minutes! You can create scenarios that mirror your exact sales process, product offerings, and common objections. Skylar can act as your ICP, use industry-specific language, and test for the specific selling skills most important to your team.
What metrics does Skylar track during these simulations?
Skylar analyzes key selling behaviors including question quality, objection handling, active listening, talk-to-listen ratio, and closing techniques. You'll get both quantitative scores and qualitative feedback on each candidate's performance.
Will candidates find this process intimidating or unfair?
Our data shows the opposite. Candidates appreciate the opportunity to demonstrate their actual skills rather than just talk about past experiences. They can complete the simulation on their own time, reducing scheduling stress, and the consistent format ensures everyone is evaluated on the same criteria.
How does this fit into my existing hiring process?
Skylar works best as an early-to-mid stage screening tool after initial resume review but before investing in live interviews. Most teams send role-play invitations to candidates who pass basic qualification criteria, then use the results to determine who advances to interviews with the hiring manager or team.
Is candidate data secure?
Yes. Skylar follows strict data privacy protocols. Only you and authorized team members can review the role-plays and candidate performance data.
Can't I just do a role-play during the interview?
You could, but Skylar offers key advantages. It's consistent (same scenario for everyone), objective (AI scoring avoids interview bias), scalable (assess many candidates without your time), and screens before the interview, saving you valuable time.
