First-round screening, no waiting
Candidates don’t wait for the recruiter to find time to call.
Each screening call took about 5 minutes and a recruiter could fit about 10 a day, on top of registering, evaluating and deciding.
A chat welcomes the candidate at any hour and books the interview; a voice agent runs it, scores it against the profile and records everything for the recruiter.
- 01The recruiter registers each candidate
- 02Calls them one by one: about 5 minutes
- 03About 10 calls a day
- 04Evaluates and decides
- 01The candidate writes at any hour
- 02Accepts the privacy notice and books a call
- 03Voice screening interview
- 04Score and file for the recruiter
- It retries after 5 minutes, up to 3 times
- Then the chat asks for a new day and time
- If a topic wasn’t covered on the call, it’s marked to be determined and doesn’t rule them out
The final decision is always the recruiter’s.
The recruiter sees each candidate with their chat conversation, the interview recording and transcript, the score per criterion with its rationale, and their document file.
Simplified screen. Counters run from Feb 24 to Sep 30, 2026; the rows are illustrative.
- Feb 24The system’s first call
- Through Sep13 openings from 2 companies
- Oct 21Call adjustments and 4 new openings
Each dot is a candidate. From Feb 24 to Sep 30, 2026.
On October 21 four new openings went live, with adjustments so the call wraps up better. The next step is to measure the actual time from first message to interview.
- The “before” times are our partner’s: about 5 minutes per call and about 10 a day. We didn’t measure them.
- The 10 minutes come from how the system is configured. After hours, the interview moves to the next business day from 9 am.
- There have been hires among candidates who went through the system; the volume is still too small to give a rate.
- Usage depends on open positions: some weeks have no activity.
