Turn Hours of Screening Calls Into Minutes of Recruiter Review
Turn Hundreds of Screening Calls Into One Ranked Shortlist
Zena’s AI voice screening calls your shortlisted candidates, asks role-specific questions in English or Hindi, and scores their answers on skills, salary, notice period, and location, so recruiters focus on the best-fit candidates.
AI Voice Screening Calls
Zena phones candidates and runs the first-round screen conversationally by voice. The repetitive call your recruiters make 200 times a week is now handled end to end.
Voice + WhatsApp Reach
No answer on the call? Zena automatically follows up on WhatsApp, so no candidate slips through. It’s built for how India’s candidates actually respond.
Structured Screening Questions
Every candidate hears the same role-based questions: experience, technical skills, salary expectation, notice period, location, and availability. That keeps shortlists consistent, not mood-dependent.
Scored Call Summaries
A transcript, response summary, and fit score are generated for every call. Recruiters can read the summary instead of sitting through the whole conversation.
How Hirin's AI Phone Screening Works
Screen Candidates Before the First Interview
Trigger the Screen
Shortlisted candidates (from your job board, ATS, or Hirin’s AI resume screening) drop into the voice-screening queue automatically.
Zena Calls the Candidate
Zena runs a quick device and mic check, introduces herself as an AI recruiting assistant, and begins the screen — so the candidate knows it’s automated and treats it like a structured phone screen.
Voice-Screening Questions
Zena asks timed, role-specific questions on experience, salary expectation, notice period and availability, capturing every spoken answer.
Instant Candidate Scoring & Transcript
Each response is transcribed, summarised and scored against your criteria. A call summary is generated the moment the call ends.
Ranked Shortlist to Your Recruiter
Qualified candidates move forward automatically; the rest stay in your talent pool and can be reopened anytime. The scored summary and transcript sync into Hirin (and your ATS), so your recruiter reviews a ranked shortlist — not a stack of recordings.
Filter Candidates for Further Hiring Rounds with
AI Voice Screening
Reach 100 Candidates at Once, Not 40 Calls a Day
100 Calls in Parallel, while a human recruiter manages 20–40 dials a day. Zena screens up to 100 candidates simultaneously, so your pipeline moves at the speed of the requirement, not the phone.
3x More Mandates per Recruiter
When the first-round call is automated, recruiters stop dialling and start closing, carrying three times more client mandates without burning out.
Up to 40% Fewer No-Shows
Voice plus WhatsApp confirmation keeps candidates engaged from screen to interview, cutting no-shows by up to 40% in high-volume pipelines.
Consistent, Bias-Aware Screening
Every candidate gets the same questions, scored on the same rubric, so your shortlist reflects fit, not who caught the recruiter on a good day.

FAQs
How does AI phone screening work?
AI phone screening uses an AI recruiting agent to call candidates, ask a set of role-based questions by voice, and score the answers automatically. With Hirin, Zena calls each candidate, runs the screen in English or Hindi, and generates a scored transcript so recruiters only review qualified candidates.
Will candidates accept an AI voice screening call?
Yes, Zena introduces herself as an AI recruiting assistant at the start of the call, so expectations are set up front and candidates treat it like a structured phone screen. For candidates who prefer text, Zena follows up on WhatsApp instead.
What does AI ask during a screening call?
Zena asks role-specific screening questions — relevant experience and skills, salary or CTC expectation, notice period, current location and availability — the same first-round questions your recruiters ask, applied consistently to every candidate.
What languages does Hirin’s AI voice screening support?
Hirin’s AI voice screening runs in English and Hindi/Hinglish, which is built for how candidates across India actually speak — a clear advantage for high-volume IT, BFSI and BPO/KPO hiring.
How is AI voice screening different from AI resume screening?
AI resume screening evaluates the candidate’s CV, parsing and ranking documents. On the other hand, AI voice screening evaluates the candidate’s answers; it’s a live phone conversation about salary, notice period and fit. Most staffing teams use both: resume screening to shortlist, voice screening to qualify.
Does a recruiter still review candidates?
Yes, manual recruiters do. While Zena handles the calls and scoring; your recruiter makes the decision. Auto-rejected candidates aren’t deleted; they stay in your talent pool and can be reopened by filter or reason at any time.
Can AI voice screening handle high-volume hiring?
Yes, AI voice screening is built for it. Zena screens up to 100 candidates at once versus a recruiter’s 20–40 calls a day, so bulk IT, BPO, and blue-collar requirements get screened in hours, not weeks.
Is AI voice screening secure and consent-first?
Yes, Zena identifies itself as an AI recruiting assistant at the start of every call, so candidates know they’re speaking to AI and consent to continue. Calls, transcripts, and scores are stored securely inside your Hirin account and used only for screening the role; they are never sold or shared.
