Applicants reach out — and reach no one. AI candidate pre-screening handles the first conversation.
Applications come in evenings and weekends, and every one needs a conversation. Your interview slots now go only to the candidates who actually fit.
titanspear.ai's candidate pre-screening handles the first phone call in your hiring process: the AI calls new applicants or takes their calls, asks your must-have criteria in a structured way, and logs every conversation cleanly in your system — around the clock. Your recruiting team then only interviews candidates who actually fit, instead of working through call lists.
- Applicants apply in the evening — and don't get a callback for days.
- Whoever can't reach anyone has often already signed with the next employer.
- Your team works through applicant lists instead of running interviews.
- Must-have criteria like a driver's license or shift availability only get clarified in the interview — but the slot is gone either way.
That can already look different tomorrow.
Your team only interviews once it's a fit.
We set up an AI that pre-screens your applicants by phone: it calls every new applicant, takes incoming calls, asks your must-have criteria, and logs every conversation — pre-sorted, so your interview slots go only to candidates who fit.
-
Call applicants
Every new applicant gets called quickly.
The moment an application comes in, the AI calls promptly — even in the evening and on weekends, before the candidate signs with the next employer.
-
Take calls
No applicant ends up on hold.
Whoever calls in gets served right away: the AI takes the call and walks through your questions — around the clock.
-
Check must-have criteria
Your must-have criteria, checked in a structured way.
Driver's license, availability, shift readiness, qualifications: you define the questions, the AI works through them cleanly in every call.
-
Document cleanly
Every applicant call documented cleanly.
Answers, assessment, and callback requests land in your applicant system or CRM in a structured way — pre-sorted instead of scattered notes.
-
Book interviews
Interview slots go only to those who fit.
If a candidate meets your criteria, the AI books the interview slot straight into your calendar. She's already run the first round.
How the AI takes over your first applicant conversation.

AI recruiting: what HR teams want to know.
What does candidate pre-screening cost per month?
It depends on your volume: how many applications come in, what the AI should ask, and how it's connected to your applicant system. Book a free intro call — we'll give you a specific price, with no hidden costs.
What criteria does the AI use to pre-screen my applicants?
Yours. You define what makes a good candidate: driver's license, availability, shift readiness, work experience, qualifications, salary range — the must-have criteria for your role. The AI asks them in every call in a structured way and logs every answer. That way, every applicant is judged by the same standard.
What happens to applicants who don't fit?
They're treated properly too: the AI wraps up the conversation politely, documents why it wasn't a fit, and files the contact in your system. Whether and how to decline is up to you — the actual rejection stays with your team. Nobody's left without a response, and no interview slot goes to a conversation that's over in two minutes.
Can the AI book an interview slot directly?
Yes. If an applicant meets your must-have criteria, the AI offers open interview slots in the same call, confirms one, and enters the appointment into your calendar by your rules. Your team gets a fully scheduled interview slot along with documented answers — instead of an open callback note.
How do applicants react to talking with an AI?
The voice sounds natural and holds an actual conversation, not a robotic questionnaire. But more importantly: applicants get served right away instead of waiting days for a callback — exactly the ghosting that pushes many candidates to the next employer disappears. The AI introduces itself transparently. Best to hear it yourself: book a free intro call.
Is AI candidate pre-screening GDPR-compliant?
The AI only calls candidates who applied themselves — meaning they expect to be contacted. Applicant data is especially sensitive: the conversations are processed strictly for the hiring process and documented in your system. Which consent your process needs and how retention periods are respected, we work out carefully during setup.
Does this replace my recruiting team?
No. The AI handles the first round: calling, checking must-have criteria, documenting, booking the interview slot. The interviews, where it's about people and decisions, are still run by your team — just with the right candidates. Relief, not replacement: your team gets time back for the conversations that count.
Does this work with my applicant tracking system?
In almost every case, yes. We connect the AI to your existing applicant system or CRM so new applications arrive automatically and every call result lands where your team works. If you don't have one, we set up a lean alternative — we'll figure out what fits you in the intro call.
