Run staffing registration interviews 24/7

Registrants don’t have to wait, and coordinators aren’t buried in interviews. The AI Interviewer handles the first registration interview, and evaluations are generated against one shared set of criteria.

Challenge

In registration interviews, timing matters more than volume

In staffing, people register with an agency before they are offered assignments, and the time between applying and the registration interview feeds straight into how many people register. People looking for their next role while still in work find it hard to get away during weekday working hours, which are exactly the hours coordinators work.

  • A gap opens between application and interview, and another agency signs them first
  • Evening and weekend requests go unmet, and you lose the candidates who are currently employed
  • Criteria differ by branch, so the same background is rated differently by different coordinators
  • Interviews fill the diary, leaving coordinators no time for the work that leads to placements

The three shaded steps are automated. The pass-or-fail decision is made by a person. Identity verification and the statement of working conditions are carried out by a coordinator, as before.

Solution

Interview at any hour, with the same criteria at every branch

The AI Interviewer runs 24/7 and handles interviews in parallel. Registrants come in from the URL they are sent or a QR code on your job page or a poster, hear the AI explain how registration and pay work, and take the interview whenever they like. Every branch uses the same questions and evaluation criteria, which keeps variation between coordinators down.

  • No scheduling back-and-forth; the interview can happen the day they apply
  • Evening and weekend requests are met on the same terms
  • A score and its reasoning are recorded for each criterion
  • Coordinators can focus on the final decision and on matching

WHAT THEY DID

Automated much of the hiring process with AI interviews. Setting the evaluation criteria and questions in advance made interviews transparent and consistent.

Frequently asked questions

Do registrants accept an AI interview?

Asked whether they would consider an AI interviewer rather than a person, 89% of respondents in their twenties said yes, with 84% in their thirties and 63% in their forties (our own 2024 survey, 612 respondents). The main reasons given were the absence of bias and harassment, and the fact that everyone is held to the same standard.

What information is the evaluation based on?

Evaluation is based on what the candidate says. Non-verbal signals such as facial expression, tone of voice and speaking pace are not used. This is in line with the EU AI Act, which bans emotion recognition in the workplace in most cases.

Does the AI decide who is hired?

No. The AI does not decide. The coordinator makes the pass-or-fail decision, and the score is one input to it.

What about identity verification and the statement of working conditions?

A coordinator handles them separately from the AI interview. Proomi covers the first registration interview and the evaluation; procedures required under the Worker Dispatch Act stay with your own staff, as before.

Can we try it at only some branches or for some roles?

Yes. Whether someone is interviewed by a person or sent to the AI is decided at an earlier step in your hiring workflow.

Is the interview recorded?

Every interview is recorded and the audio is transcribed. The recording, the transcript, and the score and reasoning for each criterion all stay available in the admin console.

Can it connect to our existing systems?

CSV/Excel-based integration with an existing ATS is supported. API integration is also supported; please ask us what is available.

Can the evaluation criteria be tuned to our organisation?

Yes. It is not a system that learns by itself; you calibrate the evaluation criteria using your own past data. You can do this yourself, or we can work alongside you.

Does the candidate need to prepare anything?

A browser is all they need. It works on desktop, smartphone and tablet, with no app to install.

How much does it cost?

Flex starts at 100 interviews, and you can top up in blocks of 10. Around 100 interviews is roughly when there is enough data for the efficiency gains to show. For steady use there is Starter (240 interviews a year), and for high-volume hiring, Growth (500 a year). Only interviews actually taken are counted; unused invitations are not. See pricing details
