AI phone interviews
Every candidate gets a real interview.
Phone screening is where recruiting time disappears. Hurraay's AI agent calls your candidates, runs a structured interview built from your job criteria and hands you a scored transcript. Each interview saves about 45 minutes of recruiter time.
How an AI phone interview works
- You confirm the criteria from your job description.
- The agent calls the candidate, says it is an AI and asks for consent to record the call.
- It runs the interview: skills, a role-play where it fits the job, and the key facts.
- You get a rating per criterion with transcript evidence, and the best candidates are booked into your hiring managers' calendars.
What the agent checks
- Skills and experience against your criteria
- Role-plays, for example a sales call or a customer conversation
- Language level, where the job needs it
- Key facts: start date, notice period, location, salary expectations
Fair and transparent by design
- Every candidate gets the same structured interview.
- Scoring uses the transcript only: no voice, accent or emotion analysis.
- Candidates always know they are talking to an AI, and can ask for a person instead.
- The AI never rejects anyone. Your team reviews the evidence and decides.
Why a phone call and not a video link
Many good candidates are in a job and will not record themselves on video for a role they are only exploring. A phone call fits into a lunch break, which is why Hurraay calls instead of sending a link.
Phone interviews are part of a wider process: AI recruiting software that also screens CVs and books meetings, or the full automated candidate screening in 7 days.
