Developer Builds AI Tool That Conducts Recruitment Screening Calls and Scores Candidates

A developer has created an AI-powered system that automates first-round recruitment phone screens, replacing a process that can consume over 60 hours of recruiter time for a single role. The tool calls candidates directly, asks five preset questions, and generates a structured scorecard within five seconds of the call ending. Recruiters interact with a simple dashboard, entering a candidate's name and phone number before receiving scores covering communication, technical depth, culture fit, and an advance or reject recommendation. The system is built on Telnyx's AI Assistant platform, which handles speech-to-text, inference, and text-to-speech without requiring custom webhook infrastructure. The source code has been published publicly on GitHub as part of the Telnyx code examples repository.
