What happened
Eightfold AI CEO Ashutosh Garg launched TwinCafe, where candidates upload a résumé, LinkedIn profile and work samples to create a digital twin, then share it via link.
Why it matters
Garg says recruiters could pre-screen twins to verify résumé details and surface candidates a standard résumé would have rejected, freeing the real interview for human judgment.

Garg's pitch rests on a problem he states plainly: recruiters spend much of an initial screening interview verifying what is already on a résumé. TwinCafe, which he recently launched, is meant to move that verification earlier by letting candidates upload a résumé, LinkedIn profile, work samples and other documents into a digital version of themselves. The output is a shareable link Garg envisions candidates placing at the top of their résumé or LinkedIn profile.
The stated motivation is not only convenience. Garg says a résumé is "so limiting," and argues a digital twin can fill in the blanks on parts of a background that tend to raise questions, such as career breaks or moves between industries. That framing puts the tool's value on the awkward-to-explain parts of a work history rather than on the credentials that already fit neatly on paper.
Garg takes the idea further than a pre-interview briefing. He envisions a recruiter sending their own agent to talk to the job seeker's digital twin, with no recruiter present for the first screen at all. In his telling, that would surface people the standard résumé would have rejected—and allow far more people to be interviewed. "Why limit a screening to five candidates?" he says. "Why not interview everyone?"
