AI Interview Software: First-Round Voice Interviews, Any Time of Day
AI interview software runs a structured first-round interview without a human interviewer present. IntelliHire interviews candidates by voice with natural turn-taking, at whatever hour suits them, then produces a scorecard your team reviews against the transcript. On selected plans AI can also join your team's own live interviews. People decide who advances.

The slowest part of most hiring rounds is getting the first conversation on the calendar. IntelliHire's AI interview software takes that wait out. Candidates take a first-round voice interview with natural turn-taking at whatever hour suits them, and your team reviews the transcript-backed scorecard on its own schedule.
On selected plans, AI can also join your team's own live interviews, and scheduling keeps candidates moving between rounds. People decide who advances.
Autonomous voice interviews
How the AI Interview Software Runs a First Round
An AI voice interview is a first-round conversation the candidate takes on their own time. There is no slot to book and no recruiter calendar to wait on, because the interview runs around the clock.
Automated interviews only help if the output is usable. Because IntelliHire uses one rubric from screening to scorecard, the interview measures the same criteria the role was screened on. Every conversation is transcribed, and interview scorecards cite the transcript, so your team can check what was actually said.

AI-assisted interviews
AI That Joins Your Team's Live Interviews
Some conversations need a person. A hiring manager may want to meet candidates early, and the conversations that close a hire belong to your team.
On selected plans, AI-assisted interviews let AI join your team's live interview calls alongside your interviewers. See which plans include them on the pricing page.
Your interviewer leads
A person on your team runs the conversation. AI joins the live call alongside them.
AI first rounds, human follow-ups
Let autonomous AI voice interviews handle the first round at any hour, then bring your people into the conversations that need them.
A dedicated interviewer portal on Enterprise
Enterprise teams also get a dedicated interviewer portal for the people on your side of the call.
Scheduling
Interview Scheduling Software That Keeps Candidates Moving
Momentum disappears between calendars and follow-ups. Every day spent arranging a conversation is a day a strong candidate can walk away.
IntelliHire coordinates interview scheduling so candidates are not left waiting between rounds, and the first round does not need anyone's calendar at all.
01First rounds skip the calendar
AI voice interviews do not need a slot in a recruiter's week, so the first round can happen as soon as the candidate is ready.
- 02
Next steps coordinated
Scheduling coordinates the rounds that follow, so the handoff from the AI first round to your team keeps moving.

Candidate experience
What Candidates Experience in an AI Voice Interview
Candidates judge your company by how the first round feels, and that matters even more when the first interviewer is AI. The process should be clear, convenient and fair to them.
For help deciding what a first round should cover, see our guide to writing structured interview questions, with examples by role. The IntelliHire FAQ answers the questions hiring teams ask most about AI interviews.
An interview at their hour
Candidates take the first round when it suits them, including evenings and weekends, without trading emails to find a slot.
Device checks before they start
The candidate portal checks their setup first, so technical problems surface before the interview, not halfway through it.
Updates at every step
Email and WhatsApp updates, with SMS depending on your plan, tell them where they stand and what comes next.
A person reviews their answers
Your team reads the transcript-backed scorecard, and no candidate is ever rejected by a machine.
What is an AI voice interview?
It is a first-round interview the candidate takes by voice with an AI interviewer that uses natural turn-taking, at a time that suits them. The conversation is transcribed, and the scorecard cites the transcript, so your team can read the actual answers before deciding who moves to the next round.
Does the AI decide who moves to the next round?
No. The AI runs the first-round conversation and drafts a scorecard against your rubric. Your team reads the evidence and decides who advances. No candidate is ever rejected by a machine, and the terms say AI outputs must not be the sole basis for rejecting a candidate.
Can AI join interviews our own team runs?
Yes, on selected plans. AI-assisted human interviews let AI join your team's live interview calls alongside your interviewers, while your interviewer leads the conversation. Enterprise teams also get a dedicated interviewer portal for the people running those calls.
Which calendar and ATS tools does IntelliHire connect to?
ATS and calendar integrations are available on selected plans. IntelliHire does not list specific products publicly yet, so bring the names of your ATS and calendar tools to your demo and ask the team which are supported today. First-round AI voice interviews do not need a calendar slot at all.
How should candidates prepare for an AI interview?
A working device and a quiet place to talk are the main things. The candidate portal runs device checks before the interview starts, and updates by email and WhatsApp, with SMS depending on your plan, tell them what to expect at each step. They can take the interview at any hour.
