The Problem
- Hiring processes are inefficient and slow. Recruiters spend countless hours on repetitive screening interviews to pre-qualify candidates.
- Candidates often wait weeks for an initial conversation, leading to a poor experience.
- Bias in early-stage screening can cause qualified candidates to be overlooked.
- Companies miss out on great candidates because they can't keep up with applications.
- For hourly worker applicants, there's too much friction when applying for high-volume roles (i.e., retail, QSR)
How Layup Helps
Layup is transforming how companies connect with applicants. Our AI voice agent conducts quick phone screenings, either initiated by the candidate or Layup. The goal is simple: to make hiring faster and fairer for everyone.
How It Works
- Layup’s AI voice agent conducts screening interviews over the phone. Candidates can call in and interview at their convenience or receive a scheduled call from Layup, seamlessly integrated with your ATS.
- The interview is conversational, engaging, and efficient.
- Afterward, Layup analyzes responses and provides summaries/analytics to hiring teams, helping recruiters quickly identify top candidates to move forward.
- This approach is a game changer for businesses that need to source and screen workers at scale. We turn the cumbersome ATS application process into a simple phone call.
