ShortlistIQ AI Recruiting: Screening Candidates Effectively is an AI-powered recruitment tool designed to automate the initial candidate screening process. It leverages conversational AI to conduct first-round interviews, reducing manual time spent on CV screening while delivering human-like evaluations and structured scoring reports. The platform aims to help Talent Acquisition (TA) teams identify strong candidates faster, with multilingual support and customizable AI personas to reflect an organization's culture.


How it works

  1. The AI conducts initial candidate interviews in a natural, engaging manner, simulating a real interviewer experience.
  2. It asks strategic questions to assess candidate skills, experience, and fit (e.g., technical questions, problem-solving, and domain-specific prompts).
  3. It provides scoring reports for every candidate, balancing AI precision with human-like evaluation to support fair assessments.
  4. Companies can customize their AI assistant's tone and persona (e.g., Relaxed, Balanced, Formal, Serious, Witty).
  5. The system offers multilingual interviewing capabilities and interaction cues to maintain candidate engagement.
