AI Pre-Screen is available on Pro and higher plans.

​
What is AI Pre-Screen?

AI Pre-Screen is an asynchronous, proctored interview that runs entirely on its own — no scheduling, no recruiter time, no extra tools. You send a candidate a one-time link, the AI runs a live structured interview with proctoring active, and you get a scored transcript and recommendation as soon as they finish. It’s how you replace the first-round phone screen with something faster, more consistent, and less biased.

How it works

1

Send the link

From an applicant card, click AI Pre-Screen. A unique, one-time interview link is generated and emailed to the candidate.
2

Candidate interviews

The candidate accepts the ground rules, then has a live conversation with the AI. Proctoring is active throughout — tab-switching, paste attempts, and other integrity violations are detected in real time.
3

Review results

You’re notified the moment the interview completes (or terminates early). Open the candidate panel to see the score, scorecard, AI recommendation, and full transcript.

​
Proctoring & integrity

Candidates are told upfront that this is a proctored evaluation. The session enforces several anti-cheating measures: The AI also probes for specifics — vague or generic answers get followed up on, so candidates can’t coast on rehearsed responses.

​
What you get back

When the interview ends, the candidate’s panel includes a full evaluation:

Complete record of the conversation — questions asked and answers given — stored permanently on the candidate record.

Instant Notifications

Get notified the moment the candidate completes — or if the session terminates early due to a violation.

​
When to use it

AI Pre-Screen replaces the first-round phone screen. Use it when:
  • You have high applicant volume and need to triage faster
  • You want consistent evaluation across every applicant for a role
  • You want to reduce bias in the first-round filter
  • Your candidates are distributed across time zones and scheduling is painful

​
Sending a Pre-Screen

  1. Open the candidate from the Talents page or a job’s applicants list
  2. Click AI Pre-Screen on the applicant card
  3. The candidate receives an email with a unique link
  4. Track status from the candidate panel — Sent, In Progress, Completed, or Terminated

​
Best practices

Use it as the first filter, not the only one. AI Pre-Screen is designed to replace the initial phone screen — a hiring decision should still combine pre-screen results with CV analysis and a human interview.
Tell candidates what to expect. A short note in your application confirmation email explaining that they’ll receive a proctored AI interview reduces drop-off and integrity violations.
Check terminated sessions before rejecting. A tab switch can sometimes be accidental. Review the transcript before making a decision.
