The job
Sense Voice AI makes the first screening phone calls to job applicants, asks the screening questions and sends full transcripts to recruiters, who scan the answers and choose who to interview.
Tool: Sense
What happened
Recruiters saved 497 hours on screening calls, about 166 hours a month, after around 1,300 AI screenings.
Manual screening effort fell by about 96%, from up to 15 minutes per candidate on the phone to under 2 minutes reading a transcript. 98% of the AI calls are completed.
Before you believe it
Andy override: directory estimates put WSI at 207 to 224 staff, over the 200 limit, but those figures may include placed workers rather than internal staff. Sense is selling the product and the hours figure comes from its own platform data.
