Recruitment

AI calling for high-volume HR pre-screening

Screen hundreds of candidates for notice period, expected CTC, and location before a single recruiter picks up the phone.

The problem

Recruiters spend a disproportionate share of their time on first-round calls that ask the same three questions to hundreds of candidates — most of whom do not qualify on the basics. That leaves less time for the conversations that actually require human judgement.

How Vaanicall runs it

  1. Candidate CSV import

    Upload your candidate shortlist from your ATS or job portal export as a CSV. Each number is DND-scrubbed and the campaign begins dialling immediately.

  2. Structured screening call

    The AI agent introduces itself, confirms the candidate applied for the role, and works through your configured screening questions — notice period, current and expected CTC, preferred location, and any role-specific requirements.

  3. Structured answers extracted

    Each answer is extracted as a structured field on the contact record — notice period in weeks, CTC band, city preference — ready to be filtered and sorted without any manual transcription.

  4. Shortlist from dispositions

    Candidates who match your criteria receive a "shortlisted" disposition; those who do not meet the basics are dispositioned "not a fit" for this role. Your recruiters receive the shortlist with full context and focus on the human-led rounds.

Sample call — the agent opens with your brand and script

  1. AI Agent: Hi, this is Divya from Niyukti Talent. Am I speaking with Vikram Nair?

  2. Customer: Yes, this is Vikram.

  3. AI Agent: Thanks, Vikram. You applied for the Senior Software Engineer role. Quick check — what is your current notice period?

  4. Customer: I am serving a one-month notice, so I can join in about four weeks.

  5. AI Agent: Got it — four weeks. And your expected CTC, if you are comfortable sharing a range?

  6. Customer: Somewhere between 22 and 26 LPA, depending on the role.

What you get

Questions, answered

The agent opens with your branded introduction; calls are kept concise — typically three to five questions — and candidates can ask to speak with a human at any time, which raises a callback task for your recruiter. If your policy requires it, optional in-call AI-disclosure enforcement can be switched on per tenant. The experience is designed to be efficient and respectful of the candidate's time.
