SmartRecruits: AI first interviews in Microsoft Teams

First interviews run by AI in Microsoft Teams. Your team decides who to hire.

SmartRecruits screens applications against the job spec, lets candidates book their own interview time, and runs structured first interviews in a Microsoft Teams call. Every CV, job spec and interview transcript is searchable, powered by SmartRetriever. Hiring teams spend their time on the best candidates.

The problem

Early-stage hiring takes days of sifting and scheduling, and first interviews vary with the interviewer.

Hiring teams read every application by hand, trade emails for days to find interview slots, and run first interviews that differ with whoever is free. What was said in those interviews is rarely written down, and never searchable.

What it does

Four things SmartRecruits does.

01

Screening against the job spec

Applications are screened against the requirements of the role, with the reasons shown for every match and every gap.

02

Candidate-led scheduling

Candidates choose an interview time that suits them from the slots your team makes available. No email chains.

03

AI-led first interviews in Microsoft Teams

An AI interviewer runs a structured first interview in a Teams call, asks the same core questions of every candidate, and records the transcript.

04

Search across candidates, job specs and transcripts

Every CV, job spec and interview transcript is indexed by SmartRetriever, so you can ask ‘who has run a warehouse move?’ and get the candidates, with the passages that say so.
