What Candidate Screening does

Deploy once and let it handle the rest. Here's what this agent does for you:

Conducts initial screening interviews via text
Asks role-specific qualifying questions
Grades candidate responses objectively
Schedules human interviews for top candidates
Sends professional rejection or next-step emails

Why Candidate Screening?

The average job posting receives 250 applications, and recruiters spend only 6-7 seconds scanning each resume. This means great candidates get overlooked and unqualified ones slip through — wasting hours of interview time. Initial phone screens for just 20 candidates consume an entire week of a recruiter's time.

The Iris AI Candidate Screening Agent conducts initial text-based interviews with every applicant, asking role-specific questions that go beyond what a resume can tell you. It evaluates communication skills, technical knowledge, cultural fit indicators, and motivation — grading each response objectively against your criteria. Qualified candidates are automatically scheduled for a human interview, while others receive a professional, personalized rejection email.

The agent screens 24/7, so candidates in different time zones or with busy schedules can complete their screening whenever it's convenient. Your recruiting team gets a ranked list of qualified candidates with detailed scorecards, saving weeks of manual screening effort.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI screening interview work?
Candidates receive a text-based interview with 5-7 role-specific questions. They can respond at their own pace within a set timeframe. The agent evaluates answers based on your criteria and produces a scorecard for each candidate.
Can I customize the screening questions?
Yes. You define the questions, evaluation criteria, and pass/fail thresholds for each role. The agent can also suggest questions based on the job description if you prefer.
Does it schedule interviews for qualified candidates?
Yes. Candidates who pass the screening are automatically sent a calendar link to book a human interview. The booking includes the candidate's scorecard so the interviewer has full context.
Is it fair and unbiased?
The agent evaluates responses based solely on the content of answers against your defined criteria — not names, schools, or demographic information. This can actually reduce unconscious bias compared to human resume screening.
