How this operator works

every way of working, already decided
A · capability focus

Owns the system, not the ticket

Takes end-to-end ownership of a service or surface. Design, delivery, on-call. And is measured on outcomes, not hours.

B · ways of working

Embedded, async-first, instrumented

Works inside your repos, your CI and your rituals. Daily written standups, decisions logged. No status-meeting tax.

C · reliability posture

Runbooks, canaries, reversible deploys

Every change gated and reversible. Incidents get a timeline and a postmortem; nothing ships without a rollback.

D · comms & cadence

Plugged into your Slack & rituals

Joins standups and retros, reports weekly against the goal. You get an operator, not a queue.

E · tooling

Brings a pre-wired stack or adopts yours

Infrastructure and observability as code by default. No bespoke setup tax to absorb.

F · onboarding

Scoped, gated, reversible

Week-1 shadow, week-2 ownership, swap on request inside the trial window. No long-tail handover risk.

·

Overview

Olivia is Paradox's conversational hiring agent. It talks with candidates - answering questions, screening for requirements, scheduling interviews - and automates the recruiting workflow around those conversations. It is widely used in high-volume hiring, where conversational speed decides which employer wins the candidate.

Through Scrums.com, Olivia is listed on the catalog and deployed by Scrums.com delivery teams. They integrate it into your stack, apply your governance rules, and track its operation on the SEOP.

·

What it does

Conversational candidate engagement

Candidates get immediate, conversational responses instead of waiting on recruiter inboxes.

Automated screening

Olivia screens candidates against role requirements during the conversation.

Interview scheduling

Interviews are scheduled in the chat, collapsing days of coordination into minutes.

Recruiting workflow automation

The recruiting steps around the conversation - reminders, updates, hand-offs - run automatically.

FAQs

How is this different from a career-site chatbot?

A basic chatbot answers FAQs. Olivia carries the hiring workflow - screening, scheduling, follow-up - inside the conversation, integrated with your ATS.

What does deployment need?

A Paradox subscription, ATS and calendar integration, and your screening questions and scheduling rules.

How is candidate data handled?

Candidate conversations and data flow through your configured recruiting systems under your data-protection requirements. Scrums.com configures integration and retention with you, with operation reported via the SEOP.
