The bottleneck
Phone screens are the slowest stage in your funnel
A recruiter doing 30-minute phone screens caps at maybe 12 candidates a day. Your applicant volume is 10× that. Most candidates wait days for a slot, the best ones drop, and your funnel quality declines silently. AI phone screening removes the bottleneck without dropping signal.
- Recruiter manual phone screens cap at ~12 candidates per day
- Best candidates drop while waiting for a scheduled slot
- Your funnel quality declines silently as response time grows
- AI phone screening lifts the cap to thousands per day

How it works
AI calls the candidate, asks your questions, scores
Upload candidates, set the screen template (qualifiers + a few behavioral questions), and the AI calls every candidate at the time they pick. Conversation is recorded, transcribed, and scored. Your team reviews a ranked queue, not a calendar.
- Bulk upload via CSV or ATS sync
- Candidate picks call time via a single SMS / WhatsApp link
- AI runs the screen - 5-15 minutes per candidate
- Transcript, audio, and scorecard land in your queue
Knockout filters
Auto-reject on deal-breakers
Notice period over 90 days, salary outside band, location not viable, no required certification. Set knockout rules and the AI handles polite rejection automatically. Your recruiter pipeline only sees candidates worth the next step.
- Knockouts on notice period, salary, location, certification
- Polite custom rejection message you control
- Knockout results stored with full context for audit
- Override any auto-rejection from the dashboard

- 14 languages with native voice AI
