AI candidate screening calls, with interview booking built in
An AI recruiter calls each applicant and asks the same structured screening questions - experience, notice period, when they can join. It saves the answers as data for your recruiters and can book an interview slot on the same call.
Hello Karan, this is a quick call from Acme Logistics about the warehouse supervisor role you applied for. I would like to ask a few short questions. Is now a good time?
CUSTOMERYes, sure. I have four years of experience and a 30-day notice period.
Why first-round screening takes so long
A single job post can bring in hundreds of applicants. Recruiters spend their day on short phone screens that ask the same five questions, and then more calls to agree an interview time.
Candidates who apply in the evening wait days for a call, and the screen depends on which recruiter happens to call them.
AI recruiter phone screening gives every candidate the same questions, at a time that suits them, and hands your team clean answers to review. The recruiter still makes the decision.
How the AI agent screens a candidate
Start from the ready-made agent template, then change any step in the visual flow builder. Test it by typing, by talking in your browser, or with a real call to your own phone before you publish.
Applicants reach OyeHello
Feed them from a Google Sheet, a webhook data stream from your job form or ATS, Zapier, Make, or a CSV upload.
The agent checks interest
It introduces your company and the role, and asks if the candidate is still interested and free to talk.
It asks the same questions of everyone
Years of experience, notice period, when they can join, and whether they meet the basic criteria you set.
It stays neutral
It never asks about age, gender, marital status, religion, caste or other protected traits, and never promises an offer or a rejection.
It books the interview
For shortlisted candidates, it finds a slot and the interview mode they prefer, and books it through Google Calendar, Calendly or Cal.com.
Recruiters review the results
Answers, a simple fit score and the transcript are saved for each candidate and can be sent to your ATS by webhook.
Interview details on WhatsApp
Once a slot is agreed, the agent can send an approved WhatsApp template with the date, time and joining details, so the candidate has it in writing.
WhatsApp on OyeHello →- Send interview confirmation on WhatsApp mid-call
- Timed WhatsApp reminder from your board before the interview
- Candidate questions on WhatsApp go to a WhatsApp AI agent or your team inbox

Fair, consistent screening
Your calling rules are checked before every number is dialled, not after. Consent and opt-outs are kept in a tamper-evident record you can export.
Security and compliance →- Every candidate is asked the same questions
- The agent never asks about or records protected traits
- No hiring decision is made or promised on the call
- Numbers on India's DND register, your do-not-call list or opted out are never dialled
- Calls only go out within the pack’s calling hours: 10am to 9pm IST on the India pack, TRAI’s default for promotional calls
- Frequency caps limit how often one person is called and the gap between calls
- Block calling on holidays and festival dates you choose
- "Don't call me" is recorded and blocks that number across your workspace
- Optional opening line that says it is an AI assistant, in the caller's language
- Every skipped call shows which rule stopped it
Screen candidates in their own language
Frontline and blue-collar hiring often happens in Hindi or a regional language. The agent speaks 11 languages, stays in the one you set, and switches only when the candidate asks.
What a screening call costs
One price for every call: ₹6/min, paid from a prepaid wallet. No plans, no minimums. Every new workspace gets ₹1,000 of free credit.
See full pricing →Calls are billed per minute, rounded up, so a 40-second call counts as one minute. Calls blocked by your calling rules cost nothing. These amounts come out of your wallet with no GST; GST (18%) is added only when you top up. These figures are arithmetic on call length only; your real call lengths show in your call logs.
AI candidate screening: common questions
It is a first-round phone screen run by an AI agent. It asks every applicant the same questions, saves the answers as data and can book an interview. A recruiter reviews the results and makes the decision.
Yes. Connect Google Calendar, Calendly or Cal.com and the agent books the interview during the call. There is also a ready-made interview scheduling agent for shortlisted candidates.
There is no built-in ATS connector. Applicants can come in from your ATS or job form through a webhook data stream or the REST API, and results go back on a signed webhook. Google Sheets works too.
The ready-made agent asks every candidate the same questions and is told never to ask about protected traits such as age, gender, religion or caste. You can add your own rules that apply to every step.
Calls are billed per minute at ₹6/min, rounded up. There are no plans or seat fees, and new workspaces get ₹1,000 of free credit.
