WorkSignal - AI Phone Screening Software for Recruiters

AI Phone Screening Software for Recruiters

Resumes are dead.
The first real conversation before the ATS.

Candidates use AI to optimize every resume and application now. Resumes measure how well they describe the work. One live voice conversation measures whether they can do it. Your day starts with ranked proof - not a pile of optimized PDFs.

Proof of work. Not proof of formatting.

A resume can be written by ChatGPT. A 10-minute voice interview cannot.

2-3% of applicants get seen

The typical recruiter reviews 25-30 applications out of 250-300. The rest never get consideration. Voice screening changes what's possible.

No domain expertise required

You don't need to be an expert in their field to hear whether someone can think clearly and communicate under light pressure.

68% of candidates are ready

Most candidates would rather do one real conversation than retype their resume into 47 boxes.

What is Proof of Work?

A resume can be written by ChatGPT.
A 10-minute voice interview cannot.
AI can help write a strong bullet point. It cannot replicate the texture of a specific experience under pressure.

EXAMPLE - STRUCTURED INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT

"I led the migration from our old monolith to a microservices architecture. We broke it into about 12 services... the hardest part was the data consistency layer. We ended up using event sourcing with Kafka."

Communication
82/100
Technical Depth
78/100
Authenticity
91/100
Recommendation: Strong proceed. Clear thinker, good systems intuition. Would move to technical round.
Live, not scripted

Candidates answer in real time. You hear how they actually think and communicate under light pressure - not how well they prepared a written answer.

Harder to fake

AI tools mean every application looks polished now. The problem isn’t just dishonesty - it’s that resumes no longer separate signal from noise. A live conversation under light pressure does.

Universal signal

You don’t need to be an expert in their domain to tell whether someone can think clearly and explain their work.

How well does it interview?

"I tried to break the system with irrelevant questions, interrupting repeatedly, and even probing whether it was based on Vapi or LiveKit, but it held up well. Solid product."
Aditya Ghai ML Engineer - LLM Pretraining & AI Systems Via X, after testing the demo

How It Works

The first real signal before the ATS.

Your ATS processes applications. It doesn't fix the signal. Every candidate's resume looks the same now. WorkSignal is the first real conversation before the document review.

One structured interview + resume filter. You get ranked proof - not the work.

01

Structured interview

Candidates complete a structured phone interview on their own time. Real conversation, not a survey. Your questions, their answers, recorded and transcribed.

  • Custom questions per role
  • Full transcript and recording
  • Available 24/7 - candidates pick their time
02

Resume filter, not resume pile

Define what matters for the role before screening starts. Every candidate gets evaluated against the same criteria - must-haves, red flags, and experience requirements.

  • Automatic disqualification on hard rules
  • Skills matching and red flag detection
  • Consistent scoring across all applicants
03

Ranked queue, not a stack to sort

By the time you look at a candidate, they've been screened, scored, and ranked. The ones worth your time are at the top. The rest have a documented rejection you can show legal if needed.

  • 0-100 score with recommendation
  • Transparent scoring + reasoning
  • Syncs to Greenhouse, Ashby, or Lever

Built for regulated AI hiring

When your legal team asks, you have the answer.

AI hiring is now regulated in Ontario, New York City, Illinois, and Colorado. Most platforms weren't built with this in mind. WorkSignal was.

51 compliance rules across 24 regulations. US, Canada, and EU.

AI disclosure in every job posting
Ontario Bill 149 and NYC Local Law 144 require it. WorkSignal adds it automatically.
Candidate consent before any structured interview
Illinois BIPA treats voice recordings as biometric data. Jurisdiction-aware consent is collected before any interview starts.
Audit trail for every decision
Every screening step is logged, timestamped, and exportable. If a candidate asks why they were rejected, you have the record.
Human review required before any candidate advances
AI recommends. You decide. No candidate moves forward on a score alone - that's a product design principle and a legal protection.

The math on manual screening is brutal.

One agency placement costs $10,000-$25,000. WorkSignal starts at $197/month. The first hire pays for itself.
