Stop losing great candidates because your recruiters can’t close
Give every recruiter a safe place to practice the conversations that convince top talent to say yes.
Dextego is an AI-powered roleplay platform where recruiters practice high-stakes candidate conversations such as competing offers, compensation, career growth, and hesitation before they happen in real life. Recruiters practice, get personalized feedback, improve, and close better candidates.
Trusted by teams building high-performing people and revenue organizations.
Your recruiting team doesn’t have a sourcing problem. It has a closing problem.
Your team can source incredible candidates. But when the conversation turns to competing offers, compensation, career growth, or hesitation, the outcome often comes down to one thing: can your recruiter influence the decision?
You invest heavily in:
- Employer branding
- Sourcing tools
- Recruiter training
- Talent acquisition technology
And then a great candidate gets another offer. Your recruiter has one conversation to understand what’s really holding them back, and to help them see why your opportunity is the right one. That’s difficult to do without practice.
The result?
- Top candidates drop out late.
- Recruiters handle objections inconsistently.
- New recruiters take too long to build confidence.
- Managers spend hours coaching conversations one at a time.
- Every candidate gets a different experience.
The most important conversations are often the least practiced.
You wouldn’t let someone give a sales pitch for the first time in front of a customer.
So why let recruiters practice closing on your best candidates? Roleplay gives recruiters the opportunity to practice difficult conversations before the stakes are real. With Dextego, recruiters can practice scenarios like:
- “I have another offer.”
- “The compensation isn't competitive.”
- “I'm not sure this is the right career move.”
- “My current company wants me to stay.”
- “I need more time to think about it.”
The AI responds realistically, because it’s modeled on the psychographic profile of the actual candidate. The recruiter has to listen, probe, understand, and respond. Then they get feedback. And they can try again.
Every roleplay is built on the real candidate’s psychographic profile
Before a recruiter practices, Dextego builds a profile of the exact person they’re interviewing. The AI then roleplays as that candidate, so the practice conversation behaves like the real one instead of a generic script.
DISC and Big Five personality
See how the candidate makes decisions and communicates, side by side with the recruiter's own profile and a compatibility score.
What the candidate actually values
Decision factors, motivators, and the rapport-building cues that matter to this specific person.
Likely objections, with responses
The concerns this candidate is most likely to raise, and a strong way to answer each one.
Example: preparing to hire a senior therapist. Dextego reads the candidate as empathy-led and detail-oriented, and flags the emotional-toll objection before it comes up.
Practice the conversations that actually determine hiring outcomes
AI roleplay built around real candidate scenarios. Recruiters can practice:
Handling competing offers
Learn how to uncover what the candidate actually values, beyond salary.
Navigating compensation objections
Build confidence discussing sensitive topics and communicating total value.
Understanding hesitation
Ask better questions instead of immediately jumping into a response.
Communicating career opportunity
Connect the role to what matters most to the individual candidate.
Closing confidently
Know when and how to move the conversation forward.
The AI coach doesn’t just tell them what they did wrong. It helps them get better.
It also joins live candidate conversations and gives the same feedback afterward, so practice and real calls are measured the same way.
After each roleplay, Dextego provides personalized feedback on the skills that matter. Recruiters can understand:
- What they did well
- Where they lost influence
- Questions they should have asked
- Objections they didn't fully explore
- How effectively they built trust
- How clearly they communicated value
- What they should try differently next time
The same coach joins the real candidate calls.
Dextego isn’t only for practice. It joins live candidate calls on Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, or the phone, surfaces the question to ask next while the conversation is happening, and afterward scores the call on the same influence score dimensions recruiters trained on: probing questions, objection handling, empathy, and gravitas.
One conversation. Immediate feedback. Another chance to improve.
That’s how communication skills actually develop. Traditional training gives recruiters information. Dextego gives them repetition.
Traditional training
Learn → Forget → Real candidate conversation
Dextego
Learn → Practice → Feedback → Improve → Repeat
Because confidence doesn’t come from watching another training. It comes from doing.
What happens when every recruiter gets more practice?
Better conversations. More confident recruiters. Stronger candidate outcomes.
Close more top candidates
Prepare recruiters for the objections and difficult conversations that often determine the final decision.
Ramp recruiters faster
Give new recruiters opportunities to practice before they learn everything through trial and error.
Scale coaching
Give every recruiter personalized feedback without requiring managers to listen to every practice conversation.
Create consistency
Ensure your recruiting team is prepared to communicate your employer value proposition consistently.
Improve the candidate experience
More confident recruiters create more thoughtful, human, and effective conversations.
See where the team needs development
Individual and team-level strengths and skill gaps surface from practice and live calls, so coaching goes where it matters.
Your best candidates deserve your best conversations.
Don’t let an unprepared recruiter be the reason a great candidate says no. Give your team the opportunity to practice before the conversation matters.
