Frequently asked
questions
What are AI phone and text screens?
AI phone and text screens are automated first-round screening tools that let candidates complete screening quickly via phone call or in 3-5 minutes via SMS. Phone screens conduct automated voice interviews without requiring live recruiters, while text screens let candidates respond to questions via SMS on their schedule.
How do AI phone screens work?
AI phone screens conduct automated voice interviews that candidates complete without waiting for a live call. Candidates answer role-specific questions through an automated phone conversation, and hiring teams receive detailed reports with scores, skill breakdowns, and conversation replays to review qualified candidates.
How quickly can candidates complete AI text screens?
Candidates can complete AI text screens in 3-5 minutes by responding to screening questions via SMS on their phone whenever it works for them. This eliminates scheduling delays and reduces candidate drop-off by letting applicants respond between shifts, classes, or other commitments.
Do AI screens integrate with applicant tracking systems?
Yes. AI phone and text screens integrate with your ATS to send screen invites and reminders automatically without manual outreach. Interview results, scores, and status updates sync directly to your ATS so hiring teams can manage the entire screening process in one place.
How many candidates can AI screens handle at once?
AI phone and text screens can handle hundreds of applicants simultaneously without adding recruiter hours. Organizations using CodeSignal AI screens evaluate 8x more candidates compared to manual screening processes, making them ideal for high-volume hiring in retail, hospitality, healthcare, and other frontline roles.
What information do hiring teams get from AI screens?
Hiring teams receive detailed skills reports with clear scores, skill breakdowns by competency area, and full conversation replays. Reports help teams quickly identify qualified candidates and move them forward immediately rather than spending time reviewing unqualified applicants or sorting through resumes.
