An AI recruiter that screens candidates by phone
Holds human-like voice screenings with candidates, scores their answers and shortlists talent automatically, so recruiters only talk to the people worth talking to.
Co-founder & lead engineer, Grootcore Systems
How it flows
The problem
Early-stage screening calls ate most of a recruiter's day. The same ten questions, asked hundreds of times, before anyone qualified reached a human.
What I built
- Conversational voice agents that run natural phone screenings, with custom and cloned voices.
- LLM evaluation of each transcript against the role's criteria, producing a score and a shortlist.
- Campaigns for outbound calling, voicemail and SMS, dispatched asynchronously with retries.
- Admin, demo and affiliate portals, with Stripe billing for self-serve customers.
The result
- Screening runs around the clock, including outside office hours.
- Recruiters get a ranked shortlist with transcripts instead of a call list.
- The platform sells self-serve, with billing and onboarding built in.
