The real problem
That initial 15-30 minute phone screen is a killer.
Here's the math nobody wants to say out loud-
And inviting fewer applicants? That risks cutting someone great.
You're booking call after call just to find out who's qualified.
Most of those calls go to people who never move forward.
Add email tag, no-shows, and rescheduling, and one role eats weeks.
I had 88 shortlisted candidates. That’s 44 hours of calls. So I sent them all through SonicHire.
Now I just get emails with scores. Feels like magic.

A Real Voice Conversation
Candidates get a natural voice interview, not a form, not a video-avatar gimmick, completed on their own time through a browser link. It asks questions, listens, and adapts its follow-up questions based on how you design the interview.
Scored Against Your Rubric
You set the weighting: communication, experience, resilience, whatever matters for the role. Generate a rubric straight from your questions, or build one from scratch. Every candidate is scored the same way, every time. No mood, no bias, no Friday-afternoon fatigue.
A Ranked Shortlist
You open a dashboard, not a spreadsheet of scattered notes. Transcripts, recordings, and scores are ready as soon as the interview ends, by the time you check, it's already done.
Every Attempt, Logged.
Every interview attempt is recorded, so if a candidate tries again, you see exactly how their answers changed. Reattempts aren't a free-for-all either: candidates have to request one, and you approve it. You stay in control of what counts.
Built for the Whole Hiring Team.
Loop in a hiring manager or teammate without forwarding a messy email thread. Leave notes right on a candidate's transcript, tag someone in, and keep the conversation next to the interview itself, not scattered across Slack and email.
The Fix
SonicHire replaces the first interview. Not you.
Post the role. Invite candidates. Let the AI conduct the interview. Get your shortlist back, ranked and ready.

I had 45 candidates to interview. Instead of scheduling 45 separate calls, I was able to go through all 45 in less than 30 minutes.
It saved me hours every hiring cycle. It was life-changing.

Same bar for every candidate
Every candidate gets the same questions and is scored against the same rubric. SonicHire never rejects anyone. A person makes every call on who moves forward.
Candidate data handled carefully
Candidates consent before their interview starts. We keep transcripts and recordings so you can review every answer, and we never clone voices. Available in the US and Canada.

It sounds like a real conversation. Natural pacing, follow-up questions based on what the candidate actually says, no script-reading. The interviewer is always a voice, never an animated face.
Can candidates use AI during the interview?
What happens to interviews I don't use?
Do I have to sign a contract?
What if I need more interviews than my plan includes?
What if a candidate doesn't show up?
What does the AI decide, and what do I decide?
