Async AI voice interviews
Async AI voice interviews let candidates complete a structured spoken screen on their own time. You send a link; they hear questions, record answers, and submit. You review scored reports and transcripts later, without calendar coordination for the first round.
What async AI voice interviews are
Unlike a live phone screen, nobody has to be free at the same moment. The interview is still voice-based: questions are read aloud, candidates speak their answers, and the session is structured the same way for every applicant.
That combination matters. You keep the richness of spoken answers (communication, depth, real examples) while removing scheduling ping-pong that slows hiring and loses employed candidates.
How they differ from phone screens and one-way video
Phone screens burn recruiter hours and produce uneven notes. One-way video tools ask candidates to record into a camera with little interaction. Async AI voice interviews sit in between: conversational structure, candidate-friendly timing, and consistent scoring.
Chippi Scout is built around this format. Recruiters control questions, tone, language (English or French), and deadlines. Candidates get a clear start screen with length and expectations before they begin.
What recruiters get after each interview
Every completed interview produces a scored report: overall rating, dimension breakdowns, full transcript, and per-question notes. You can shortlist, compare finalists, and invite only the people worth a live conversation.
Tools like Rank with Chippi and Ask Chippi help you query the pipeline in plain language instead of re-reading every transcript from scratch.
Who async AI voice interviews are for
Startups, in-house talent teams, and boutique agencies that need signal fast without enterprise ATS overhead. If your bottleneck is the first conversation, not offer letters, this is the stage to automate.
