Voice AI combines speech recognition, a language model and speech synthesis, so a system can hear what someone says, work out a response and reply aloud with little delay. In a screening call, it asks set questions, follows up when an answer is vague and records the conversation. A candidate who applies late at night can complete a screening call straight away rather than waiting for office hours.
Voice suits roles where spoken communication matters and where many applicants find a phone call easier than a long form. Good practice is to tell candidates they are speaking with AI, keep questions consistent and job-relevant, score answers to a shared rubric and give recruiters the recording and transcript. The AI gathers and scores evidence; people review it and make every hiring decision.
