Screen every applicant within minutes of applying, day or night, with structured, rubric-based conversations recruiters can trust before anyone picks up the phone.
Manual phone screens depend on a recruiter being free when a candidate is, and most are not the same hours. Calls go unanswered, text and email workflows go uncompleted, and screening quality shifts depending on who is running the call. Qualified candidates go uncontacted while a competing offer reaches them first.
Phenom Voice Screening Agent reaches candidates within moments of applying, conducts a role-specific screening conversation built from your configured questions and rubrics, and delivers a scored, timestamped evaluation to the recruiter, all before a human ever dials the phone.
Try itA scripted phone screen asks the same questions no matter how a candidate answers. Our Voice Screening Agent branches dynamically, probing deeper when a response is vague and skipping ground already covered, then scores every answer against a rubric your team defined, not a generic checklist.
Branches on the answer, not a fixed script.
Scores against your rubric, not a generic pass or fail.
Every score links to the exact moment in the transcript.
Built for the hours candidates actually apply in.
The moment a candidate applies, they get an email and text inviting them to start the call right away, schedule it for later, or ask for a callback. Outbound calls keep to the hours you set, but candidates can screen by browser any time, so a Saturday-night applicant doesn't have to wait for Monday.
24/7 access by browser or callback, whichever the candidate prefers
Reminders and retries keep completion rates high
Candidates can reschedule or opt out at any point
Once the call ends, the agent scores each answer 1 to 5 against rubrics your team defined, then links every score back to the exact timestamp in the transcript where the candidate said it. Recruiters see the reasoning, not just the number, and can accept or adjust any rating before it moves forward.
Per-question scoring against your defined rubric
Every score links to its moment in the transcript
Recruiters accept or adjust before anything advances
The agent holds context across the full call, handles interruptions and natural speech without breaking flow, and answers candidate questions from the job description and your knowledge base. Tone, script, and language localize to the role and region, so a call in one market sounds like your brand, not a generic bot.
Answers candidate questions from your knowledge base
Customizable voice persona matches your employer brand
Multilingual support with region-specific localization
From application to a scored, reviewable evaluation.
Workflow automation sends the candidate an interview invite as soon as they apply, sent by email and SMS with the option to call now, schedule, or request a callback.
The agent asks configured questions, injects job-specific context like location and shift, probes deeper on vague answers, and answers candidate questions from the job description and your knowledge base.
Each answer is scored against your rubric, linked back to its moment in the transcript, and delivered with the full recording so the recruiter can verify any score before acting on it.
Screenings complete in a single session; an interrupted candidate needs a new invitation to restart, and can always fall back to browser or request one.
A candidate application, routed to an invitation either manually or by a workflow automation rule your team configures.
Which follow-up to probe when an answer is vague, and how to score each response against the rubric your team defined.
Every rating reaches the recruiter as a proposal. Accepting, adjusting, or overriding it is always a recruiter action.
The full transcript and call recording, with every score linked to the exact timestamp that produced it.
Voice Screening Agent runs the conversation and proposes a score; it never decides the hire. Recruiters accept, adjust, or override every rating, and can pull the transcript behind any score they question. A candidate can opt out or ask for a person any time, and an interrupted call restarts rather than resuming on a guess.
A completed screen doesn't wait for a recruiter to move it. Scores, transcripts, and next steps land on the same candidate record the rest of the platform works from, so hiring keeps moving in one place.
Screened candidates route straight into Automated Interview Scheduling and Structured Interviews, so a qualified conversation turns into a booked interview without a recruiter relaying the handoff.
The agent answers candidate questions from the job description and your knowledge base automatically, and adapts tone, phrasing, and compensation formats by region without separate configuration per market.
Every call opens with a scripted consent flow, and every transcript, recording, and score is retained for audit. Phenom is SOC 2 Type II certified, and candidate data stays inside your system of record.

It’s allowed us to do phone interviews when it is good for the candidate. I’m no longer restricted by the number of recruiters I have or the number of hours a day those recruiters can work.
Since [it’s] capturing baseline qualification information upfront, I'm able to be more intentional about where I spend my time… on the role alignment piece.
