FAQ
How does it work?
Candidates get a SMS text with a link, tap it, and immediately have a real conversation with our AI right from their phone. No scheduling required. It listens, asks follow-up questions based on their answers and the job description, and adapts in real time — all without scrips or camera involved. When the interview is done, recruiters get a structured summary and candidate ranking so they can focus on the people who matter most.
What does the candidate experience feel like?
No app download. No account creation. No video to stress out about. Candidates respond from their phone, wherever they are, whenever it works for them. Interviews take only a brief 5–10 minutes to complete. 78% of people choose an AI phone screen over alternatives when given the option.
How is this different from one-way video interviews?
Video tools record candidates answering pre-recorded questions alone. Puck's AI Recruiter has a real two-way voice conversation. It listens. It follows up. It asks clarifying questions based on what the candidate says and the job description.
What do recruiters get after the interview?
A structured summary of every candidate's responses, scored against a skills rubric built for your organization. You see the insights that matter and can review the summary, recording, and transcript. Your team makes the final decision, not the AI.
Does the AI make hiring decisions?
No. Puck structures interviews, summarizes responses, and ranks candidates — but humans evaluate and decide. No auto-rejections or black-box scoring.
What about AI scoring bias liability?
Candidates are scored by criteria against a standardized list of skills. With this structured interviewing approach, candidates are getting a consistent interview experience. Every decision is auditable. Puck is built so your legal team can easily approve it.
What kinds of roles does this work for?
Any role where you're screening volume — hourly, early career, field roles, customer-facing positions. It also works for professional roles where you want structured, consistent first-round screening without burning recruiter hours on scheduling.
Does it work with our ATS?
Yes. Puck connects with Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and other major platforms. We also have a lightweight ATS if you need one. No IT ticket required to start.
