A Virtual Agent Screening Call is a short, automated phone interview conducted on behalf of the hiring company. Once you’ve been invited, the virtual agent will call you at a scheduled time to ask a series of screening questions related to your qualifications, experience, and skills. Please refer to the snippet below to get a sense of how the virtual agent call will sound.

The virtual agent:

  • Is guided by a predefined set of questions tailored to the job

  • Can answer common questions you may have about the job or company you applied to, using a built-in knowledge base during the call

  • Does not make any hiring decisions—instead, your responses are passed on to the recruiter for review

Most screening calls take just a few minutes to complete and are a simple and flexible way for you to share important information early in the hiring process.
