Use case
A technical recruiter facing far more resumes than interview capacity must process hundreds of candidate profiles, run screening Q&A and produce comparable assessments to decide who advances.
The old way is recruiters or engineers reading resumes one by one, making screening calls and writing notes, or using online assessments plus manual review.
Manual phone screens are slow and inconsistent; recruiters cannot cover every candidate quickly, so qualified people get missed and interviewers spend time on clearly unsuitable ones.

Demand is evidenced
The trend is that first-round screening is moving from manual phone screens to scalable automated interviews, and 500,000 sessions show large employers already put it in real pipelines. A wedge is vertical roles rather than general tech hiring, such as high-volume screening for logistics, nursing or support, where the moat is role-specific question banks and compliance trails rather than the model; big vendors already own tech roles, leaving verticals open.
Reason to use it
Why users would choose it
Compared with manual phone screens, it hands the Q&A and note-taking step to AI so recruiters only review generated assessments, expanding coverage from a few candidates to the whole applicant pool; this is inference from product capability and task structure, as no retention or repeat-use data is public.
