How does candidate phone pre-screening work?
The phone can capture a consistent first layer of information without turning AI into the recruiter. Kalyvox collects answers; your team evaluates candidates.
1. Identify the role
Kalyvox determines the vacancy or role type among the workflows you configured.
2. Ask the configured questions
Stated experience, availability, mobility or relevant skills are captured according to the role questionnaire.
3. Structure the answers
Information is grouped so the recruiter does not need to repeat the same initial screening during follow-up.
4. Hand over to recruiting
The recruiter keeps control of candidate assessment and decides the next step: callback, interview or another stage.
Data captured
What can be captured during the call?
- Target role
- Name and contact details
- Stated experience
- Requested skills
- Availability
- Mobility when relevant
- Interview availability
Common cases
Different calls, different outcomes.
Multiple open roles
The identified role determines which questionnaire is used during the call.
Recruiter in an interview
The application is captured without interrupting the ongoing interview.
Missing information
The answer remains missing rather than being inferred or invented by Kalyvox.
Interview to schedule
A connected calendar can enable booking; otherwise availability is simply passed on.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
How does Kalyvox pre-screen a candidate by phone?
You define the questions for each role. Kalyvox captures the candidate’s stated answers and passes them to the recruiter in a structured format.
What information can be requested?
For example the role, stated experience, relevant skills, availability, mobility and contact details, depending on what is relevant and permitted in your process.
Can Kalyvox decide whether a candidate is good or bad?
No. It can apply explicit workflow rules you configured, but selection, assessment and hiring decisions remain under human control.
Can different roles use different questionnaires?
Yes. The workflow can adapt questions to the identified role so the relevant information is captured for that application.
Can Kalyvox schedule an interview?
Yes when a compatible calendar is connected and configured for that workflow. Otherwise it can capture the candidate’s availability for recruiter follow-up.
Is it suitable for high-volume recruiting calls?
Kalyvox can handle multiple inbound calls without requiring recruiters to answer them simultaneously, then pass each request on with the captured information.
