Lehar.ai / लहर - wave
Conversations Over
Coordination
Lehar.ai is conversational AI infrastructure for recruitment operations. We handle the voice and messaging work between applying and interviewing - at the cadence of a thoughtful colleague, not a chatbot
01 - The premise
A short note on why hiring teams, despite their best people, keep losing the candidates they actually want.
Hiring is moving fast.
Coordination isn't.
Skilled recruiters spend most of the day on scheduling calls, confirmation messages, and interview reminders - work that has nothing to do with finding the right person.
The best candidates move on. Teams burn out. The role stays open.
For two decades, the answer was an ATS. A database for the symptoms. Not a system for the work.
02 - The inflection
Voice has crossed
a threshold.
Latency is below 400ms. Pauses fall in the right places. Interruptions are handled the way a person handles them. Context is held across a conversation, not a turn.
The result isn't a smarter chatbot. It's a colleague that can hold a schedule, ask the right question, and recognise hesitation in a voice.
Recruiters should be on calls that decide a career. Everything else should run itself.
03 - The flow
From application
to confirmed interview.
Without a single manual step.
Three movements, observed in motion. Times are measured from the moment a candidate first appears.
Apply
A candidate arrives.
From any ATS, job board, or referral. Lehar.ai receives the signal the moment it happens - no inbox, no triage queue, no Monday backlog.
Converse
Lehar.ai reaches out.
Within sixty seconds, a WhatsApp message or a phone call. Screening questions, FAQs, salary band, location. A booked interview, with calendar awareness on both sides.
Confirm
Your team wakes up to a day of work.
Calendar-confirmed interviews with screening notes, intent scores, and the candidate's own words. No chasing. No status emails. Recruiters do what only recruiters can.
A moment, observed
A conversation in motion.
Hi Priya - quick four questions about the Senior Backend role, if you have a minute?
"Yeah, go ahead."
You're a strong fit. Thursday at 10 works for the team - should I hold it?
04 - Capabilities
Ten things your team
will never do manually
again.

Real outcomes.
We cut scheduling time per role from six hours to under thirty minutes. The team stopped dreading Mondays.
No-shows dropped from 38% to 19% in the first four weeks. The voice reminders are the single biggest reason.
We onboarded in 48 hours. By the end of week one we'd already recovered the pilot cost in recruiter hours saved.
