Ribbon AI makes voice interview and candidate outreach software for high-volume hiring, with scoring, fraud checks and links to more than 60 applicant tracking systems; Dayforce agreed to acquire it in October 2026.
Ribbon AI Inc. builds software that runs the first stage of hiring. An automated interviewer talks with each applicant by voice, asks follow-up questions, and passes a scored summary to the human recruiter, who keeps the final decision. The product is aimed at employers that take on many frontline workers, such as warehouses, retail, hospitality and healthcare. The company's pages say it has signed an agreement to be acquired by Dayforce. Its address is not stated on the pages read.
Candidates take the interview on their own schedule, around the clock, and the company says it works in 10 languages. Recruiters set the scoring criteria, and each candidate is rated against the same rubric. Invitations and reminders go out by SMS, email and WhatsApp. Built-in integrity checks flag off-screen activity and unusual response timing. A two-way link syncs with more than 60 applicant tracking systems, and the company also offers sourcing, a search across an existing candidate database, an API and developer documentation. Its pages describe the security programme as SOC 2 and publish a bias audit report, though they differ on whether the attestation is Type I or Type II.
Ribbon names industries from self storage and car washes to airports, staffing agencies and contact centres. Case studies include Thrive, Tactable, Teamtailor and Stepful. The Dayforce release says hundreds of customers have run more than one million interviews, while Ribbon's own home page cites 2 million or more in one place and 1 million in another. Dayforce announced the planned acquisition on 23 October 2026 and says Ribbon will be built into its Agentic Recruiting offer once the deal closes.
