Introducing Automated Phone Screens

Hiring shouldn’t stall before the interviews

For many growing teams, the hardest part of hiring isn’t building a pool of top candidates, it’s getting to the first conversation.

Between packed calendars, back-and-forth scheduling, and the time investment for phone screens, days can pass before you ever connect. In the meantime, top candidates may lose interest, drop off, or accept another offer—with your competition.

Wizehire built a better way to keep hiring moving without adding more work to already-stretched teams.

Start conversations faster, without living in your calendar

When early screening slows down, everything else does too. Teams end up juggling availability, sitting through repetitive calls, or delaying decisions longer than they want.

With Wizehire’s Automated Phone Screens, candidates can complete a short phone screen on their own time, so hiring managers can review responses when it works for them. Instead of blocking off 30 minutes per call, teams spend minutes reviewing structured recordings, transcripts, and highlights.

For many teams, first conversations happen in hours instead of days. The best part is candidates love this experience too!

Spend less time screening, and more time deciding

Phone screens are a critical step in the interview process, but at most growing businesses, their busy day-to-day often keeps managers from prioritizing a first connection with top talent. The worst outcome is eventually connecting with a candidate to hear they’ve chosen your competitor, or still being unsure about their fit.

Automated Phone Screens help teams quickly spot who’s worth moving forward before interviews begin. On average, teams save about 25 minutes per candidate and reclaim 16–17 hours per week during busy hiring periods. That means getting in front of top talent sooner, clearer signals earlier, and more confidence when it’s time to interview.

A smoother experience for candidates, too

Speed matters to candidates, but flexibility matters just as much. Many candidates can’t step away during business hours or wait days to schedule a call.

With Automated Phone Screens, candidates complete screening when it works for them. More than half do so outside business hours, and 98–99% report a neutral or positive experience.

Candidates are informed upfront about the process, so they know what to expect and how their responses will be reviewed. Fewer delays. Fewer dropped balls. A more respectful first step for everyone involved.

Built for teams that need to move fast, without cutting corners

Built for teams that need to move fast, without cutting corners

Growing teams especially need to keep standards high, even as hiring spikes.

Automated Phone Screens bring structure and consistency to early screening, helping teams connect with more candidates without burning out or rushing decisions. Interviews start at a higher level, with better context and clearer expectations.

“Your next hire will be a representative of your brand. Phone screening is a shortcut to ensuring the right fit.”
