Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • 2025 NextGen launched into AI hiring demand, directly matching enterprise recruiting budgets.
  • Karat’s 600,000-interview dataset strengthens defensibility as engineering teams redesign assessments around AI.
  • 2026 contract hiring shows sustained demand for flexible interview coverage across engineering roles.

What critics are saying

  • Atlassian, Duolingo, and PayPal can replace Karat with CoderPad or HireVue by 2027.
  • Contract Interview Engineer hiring through Q3 2026 signals service-heavy scaling and margin pressure.
  • Karat Financial’s creator-banking brand confuses employers, candidates, and investors, weakening positioning.

What makes Karat unique

  • Karat NextGen launched December 10, 2025, blending human interviewers with embedded AI.
  • Karat has run 600,000+ interviews, creating proprietary benchmarking data competitors cannot match.
  • Karat’s Interview Engineers standardize technical screens, reducing bias and review variance.
