01The problem

The first phone callnobody has time to make.

A workshop in a small German town advertises a job and gets a handful of applications. Every one needs a first call, and the owner is out on jobs all day. By the time someone rings back, the good applicants have accepted somewhere else.

Before
  • Adverts that reach the wrong people, or nobody
  • The owner screens applicants between jobs
  • Each first call asks different questions
  • Good applicants gone before anyone calls
With the AI interviewer
  • Adverts written for Google for Jobs and the portal
  • Every applicant interviewed, in German, at any hour
  • The same questions for everyone, scored the same way
  • The employer reads reports and calls the best
02How it works

The AI does the first call.People do the hiring.

Tap any step to see what happens there. Everything up to the score runs on its own. The employer steps in where it matters: deciding who to meet.

Step 2

Advert. Those details become an advert written for Google for Jobs and pushed out to the regional portal and its social channels.

03The detail that matters

Same questions.Every score explained.

When an owner phones applicants between jobs, every call is different: a good mood, a bad line, a question forgotten. That is unfair to the applicant and useless for comparing them.

Here every applicant gets the same core questions, and the AI only adds a follow-up when an answer is vague. Every score comes with the reason behind it and the full transcript, so the employer can check the AI instead of trusting it.

AI
Interviews

Asks the same questions to everyone, follows up on vague answers, transcribes it all.

Report
Explains

A score per area with the reason in one line, strengths, and what to ask about.

Employer
Decides

Reads the report and the transcript, and chooses who to meet.

04One engine, many portals

Every portal keepsits own name.

Recruiting NOW works through regional job boards that people in each area already know and trust. Replacing those names with one national brand would throw that trust away.

So the platform is white-label: each portal keeps its name, colours and community at the front, while the interview, the scoring and the guarantee are shared underneath. Click a portal to see it.

05How we built it

An interviewer,not a form.

A form asks its questions and stops. An interviewer listens, and asks again when the answer is thin. The AI reads the job and the application before it starts, asks one question at a time, and decides when a follow-up is worth it.

It also knows when the interview is over: when it has what it needs, when the applicant ends it, or after a long silence. Then the report is written straight away.

Step 1

The interview

Real-time voice interviews in German, in the browser and by phone, built on the job and the application.

Step 2

The report

Overall score, four assessed areas with reasons, strengths, weak spots and the full transcript.

Step 3

The employer side

Job postings, applications, a hiring board, calendars and notifications.

Step 4

White-label

One platform under many regional brands, each with its own name, logo and colours.

For the technical reader.

Real-time voice AI

Speech-to-speech interviews over WebRTC in the browser, and over the phone.

Interview tools

The AI calls tools to change interview phase and to end the interview when it is done.

NestJS + PostgreSQL

Jobs, applicants, questions, call analytics, roles and permissions.

Multi-tenant React portal

One codebase, a brand configuration per portal.
