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.
The typical recruiter reviews 25-30 applications out of 250-300. The rest never get consideration. Voice screening changes what's possible.
You don't need to be an expert in their field to hear whether someone can think clearly and communicate under light pressure.
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.
"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."
Candidates answer in real time. You hear how they actually think and communicate under light pressure - not how well they prepared a written answer.
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.
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."
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.
Try a real voice sample in under 90 seconds
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
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
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.
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.
No credit card required. No sales call needed.
