Paradox (Olivia) alternative, side by side
Paradox (Olivia) is shaped for QSR and retail high-volume hiring: a context where the conversational-only loop fits. Knowledge-worker hiring needs a different shape: tighter screening criteria, slower funnel, more deliberate scheduling. FidelicAI's NYRA-01 is flat a small fraction of comparable mid-market salary, set up for knowledge-worker hiring, with screening criteria published.
