What AI Phone Screening Solves
No More 20-Minute Calls That Go Nowhere
AI runs first-round calls at scale. You only spend recruiter time on candidates who've already demonstrated baseline qualification. Spend your calls where they matter.
Consistent Scoring Across Every Call
Every candidate is asked the same questions and scored on the same rubric. No variation based on who happened to make the call that day.
Ranked Transcripts — Not Scattered Notes
Get full transcripts with AI-scored responses for every call. See how each candidate answered each question. Compare candidates side-by-side.
Candidates Call On Their Schedule
No time zone juggling. Candidates initiate the AI screening call when they're ready. AI is available 24/7. You review when it works for you.
How AI Phone Screening Works
Set Up Your Screening Questions
Define the questions you'd ask in a first-round call. AI generates role-specific questions from your JD. Review, edit, and approve. Takes 10 minutes.
Invite Candidates
Send candidates a link to initiate the AI screening call. They call when they're ready — day or night. No scheduling required.
AI Conducts the Call
AI asks your questions, listens to responses, and follows up naturally based on answers. Candidates experience a structured but conversational screening.
Review Ranked Transcripts
Every call is transcribed and scored. Candidates are ranked by overall performance. Review transcripts, listen to audio clips, compare top performers.
Move Qualified Candidates Forward
Select the candidates worth a live conversation. Move them to the next stage directly from the dashboard. Reject others with auto-notifications.
