Automated Candidate Screening & AI Video Interviews

Traditional phone screens are time-consuming and often inconsistent. The Recruitment Agent acts as an automated interviewer, allowing you to screen hundreds of candidates simultaneously rather than one by one. It ensures every candidate is asked the exact same role-specific questions and is scored against the same rubric, saving recruiters approximately 30 – 45 minutes per applicant while providing more detailed insights than a 10-minute phone call.

Actually, it often improves it. High-volume hiring often leads to “ghosting” or slow response times. Asynchronous video interviewing gives candidates the flexibility to complete their interview 24/7, whenever they feel most confident – without playing phone tag. It ensures every applicant you choose to screen with the AI interviewer gets a fair chance to be heard, rather than just being judged on a resume alone.

Human screening is prone to unconscious bias (hiring based on “gut feel” or rapport). The Recruitment Agent mitigates this by using structured interviewing techniques. It evaluates every video response against a transparent, pre-set scoring rubric based strictly on the job description. This ensures candidates are ranked based on the relevance and quality of their answers, not on their background or demographics.

You can edit, delete, or add your own custom questions and adjust the scoring criteria before sending the invite to candidates. The AI does the heavy lifting; you make the final decisions.
