Bottom line
Pay-per-screen AI phone interviewer for hourly hiring and staffing desks. Applicants call in or get called, answer your questions in any of 34 languages, and you get a scored scorecard with recording and transcript. Resume screening and reference checks are handled by separate agents. There are no seats or monthly fees: the first 10 screens are free, then $4 per completed screen, and missed calls are never charged.
Stands out for: The price model suits uneven volume: you pay $4 only when a screen completes, with no subscription, seats or minimum, so a small agency or a seasonal employer pays nothing in a quiet month. The agents never accept or reject anyone, which keeps the hiring decision with your team.
Watch out for: Named ATS connectors are aimed at SMB hourly hiring (Indeed, CareerPlug, Hireology, ApplicantPro, Workstream); staffing ATSs such as Bullhorn need Zapier or the API. The reference agent is still in beta, and transcripts come back in English only.
Overview
PhoneScreen.AI runs AI agents for hourly hiring. Its main product is an AI interviewer that phone-screens applicants around the clock, aimed at home care, warehouses, restaurants, healthcare, hotels, trucking, construction, security, call centers and staffing agencies.
Applicants can call in on your local number whenever they are free, or the system calls them. It asks your questions in the same order for everyone, follows up when an answer is thin, scores each answer against your rubric and returns a scorecard with recording and transcript. Interviews run in 34 languages with transcripts in English.
Two more agents sit beside it: Jev, a resume screener that sorts applications Yes, Maybe or No with reasons, and a Reference Agent, in beta, that texts or calls references, chases the slow ones and scores what they say. The agents never accept or reject a candidate.
New applicants can be screened automatically from Indeed Apply, CareerPlug, Hireology, ApplicantPro and Workstream, with Zapier, an API and webhooks for everything else. The vendor also lets you connect it to ChatGPT or Claude and run hiring from the chat.
Pricing is usage-only: 10 free screens with no card, then $4 per completed screen, with unlimited roles and teammates. Calls that go to voicemail or end before any questions are not charged.
