AI Surveys

Find what people won't say in 1-on-1s

AI generates the right questions for your goal, scores responses across engagement, retention risk and Big Five, and surfaces evidence-backed concerns from free-text answers — in 20+ languages.

Pulse checks, retention risk, performance self-review, wellbeing, culture fit, onboarding feedback. AI generates questions tailored to your company culture, then analyzes responses for sentiment, anomalies and risk signals. Every flag comes with the quote that triggered it — so HR can act, not guess.

Survey builder: pulse, eNPS, exit and 30/60/90 templates with branching logic and AI sentiment analysis on free-text responses
Features

What this pillar does

Auto-Generated Questions

Tell the AI your goal — "detect turnover risk in Q2" or "find burnout in engineering" — and it generates a survey tailored to your company culture and the role/team context.

Retention Risk Scoring

Per-person retention risk (low / medium / high) backed by signals: open-text mentions of frustration, reverse-scored consistency, direct flight-risk questions, and behavioral patterns.

Big Five + Communication Style

Infer Big Five traits, communication style and stress tolerance from responses — feeding back into AI Simulations and Talent Graph for richer profiles over time.

Evidence-Backed Insights

Every risk_signal, concern and recommendation cites the response quote that triggered it. No black-box scores — full traceability for HR and managers.

20+ Languages, Out of the Box

Surveys are generated in your company language and can be auto-translated for distributed teams. Lazy translation: only the languages your respondents actually speak get processed.

Anonymity Modes

Run anonymous, identified, or hybrid surveys. AI insights still surface team-level themes when individual responses are anonymous — protecting trust while extracting signal.

Demo

From a goal to insights in minutes

  1. 1

    State the goal

  2. 2

    AI drafts the questions

    Tailored to your company culture, the team's role, and the goal. Mix of scale, multiple-choice, yes/no, and open-text — with reverse-scored items to detect careless answers.

    Email, in-app, Slack — or shareable link. Multi-language. Mobile-first. Reminders auto-sent; response rate is tracked.

  4. 4

    Read the insights

    Per-person scores (engagement / retention risk / wellbeing / Big Five), team aggregates, and risk-signal list with evidence quotes. Recommended actions tied to specific findings.

Use cases

When this is especially useful

Pre-attrition warning system

Run a quarterly retention pulse. AI flags individuals trending toward exit — with the quotes that signal it. Manager 1-on-1s become proactive instead of post-mortem.

Onboarding feedback that's actually honest

Run the Onboarding Feedback survey at Day 30 / 60 / 90. Open-text + sentiment surfaces the real friction new hires won't tell their manager.

Culture-fit baseline

Run the Culture Fit survey on existing employees to understand your real culture (vs. the one on the careers page) — then use it to tune hiring criteria and AI Simulations.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Your choice — fully anonymous, identified, or hybrid (some questions identified, others anonymous). Anonymous runs still produce team-level AI insights; identified runs unlock per-person tracking and trends.

Testimonials
What our customers say
  • HRBlade rewired how we hire. Time-to-fill dropped from 45 days to 12. AI video interviews replaced an absurd number of recruiter screening calls — quality went up, my team doesn't burn out.
    VP People
    Engagement chains were the unlock for high-volume hiring. We process 2,000+ applications a month and recruiters only show up for finalists. Candidate experience scores went up too — we measure it.
    Head of Talent
  • AI evaluation surfaces real signal at the top of funnel. Quality of hire rose 40% on our 6-month performance benchmark, and first-year attrition got cut in half. The predictive correlation tooling actually works.
    Director of People Operations
    We onboarded HRBlade in a single afternoon. No consultant, no migration project. The UI is intuitive enough that engineering managers can run requisitions themselves. Best HR tool we've adopted in five years.
    Founder & CEO
  • Distributed evaluation across 6 cities used to be a calendar nightmare. Now everyone scores async, the AI rolls up consensus and flags variance. The amount of time saved on alignment meetings is enormous.
    Senior Recruiter
    Workday + Slack + SAP integrations went in cleanly via the open API. Coming from Greenhouse, the data-portability story alone made the switch worth it. Open API and clean export formats matter when you've outgrown a single tool.
    People Ops Lead
  • Hiring across English and Arabic candidate flows used to require two completely separate stacks. With HRBlade's auto language detection, we run one pipeline and the AI agent switches per candidate. Game-changer.
    Talent Director
    We piloted the voice agent for outbound recruiting calls. <500ms latency means it actually feels like a conversation. Candidates rate it 4.6/5 and our outbound conversion rate doubled.
    Head of Recruiting
  • The cognitive games turned out to be the strongest predictor of 6-month performance for our customer support hires — better than CV signal. We made it a required step for that role family.
    Chief People Officer
    Hiring senior engineers is brutal. The Digital Twin lets me rehearse the interview in 5 minutes before the real call. I show up sharper, candidates get a better experience, and our hire rate on senior offers went from 60% to 85%.
    VP Engineering
Hiring without busywork. The AI agent is here.
