The same questions, a hundred times
Availability, driving licence, shifts, experience: the first contact is identical for every candidate and eats whole days.
Conversational recruiting
WhatsApp runs the first interview. You make the call.
Candidates write where they already are: on WhatsApp. An agent on your team asks the position’s questions, collects the answers and offers an interview time. You step in when it matters and decide who moves on.
The problem
The first filter is where the hours go
Before you really meet a candidate there are always the same questions, the same waits, the same lost messages. The more roles you open, the more repetitive work piles up.
Candidates lost along the way
Long forms, unread emails, unanswered calls: people applying from a phone drop out before they ever reach an interview.
Booking an interview is a negotiation
Three messages to find a time, two more to move it, no reminder: the diary fills with gaps.
No idea which channel works
Indeed, LinkedIn, the website, a flyer: applications come from everywhere and nobody can say which ad brings the right people.
The result
Hours of manual screening, candidates lost before the interview and job-ad budget spent blind.
What it does
From application to interview without leaving WhatsApp
Every position has its own questions, ad and links. The agent runs the conversation; people make the decisions.
Screening questions per position
Options as tappable buttons, follow-ups that appear only after a given answer, voice notes transcribed. When a reply doesn’t answer, the agent asks again once, politely.
Public job ad and careers page
The position becomes an application page ready for Google for Jobs, listed on a page with all your open roles. People without WhatsApp answer the same questions on the web.
One link per channel
One for Indeed, one for LinkedIn, one for the flyer: every candidate is credited to the channel they came from, with counts for each position.
Interviews booked in the chat
The agent offers free times as a list, the candidate taps one and the interview is set; if they need another day, they move it in the same chat. Group interviews too, with several seats per session.
You step in when it matters
The “waiting” filter shows who is waiting for a reply, a notification tells you when the agent hands over, and one click makes the conversation yours. Your replies become ready answers for next time.
Your ATS stays where it is
Import positions from your job board (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, Personio, InRecruiting and more) or your careers page; every 12 hours Prescreening checks it again and closes the position when the ad is gone.

Ecosystem
Prescreening doesn’t work alone
The candidate talks to an agent, lands on a board and steers the job-ad budget: each piece lives in the right app and the data flows on its own.
HumansOne click turns the conversation into a card on the Humans Recruiting board (new, screening, interview, offer, hired) with the answers already summarised. Web applications land there on their own.AgentsThe one answering on WhatsApp is an agent on your team, chosen by you; the interview times it offers come from its own booking link.BidwisePositions and per-channel tracked links are what Bidwise runs on: every application counts for the job board that brought it, and the ad budget is set on those numbers.See the whole ecosystem

Prescreening FAQ
How much does Prescreening cost?
Today it is included in every Veii workspace and switched on or off in Settings → Apps: switching it off hides and stops the section without deleting positions or conversations. WhatsApp messages are billed by Meta to your WhatsApp Business account, at the rate for the number’s country.
Does the agent reject candidates by itself?
No. Expected answers only highlight replies on the candidate’s sheet: the agent is never told them and excludes nobody. A person decides who moves on.
What about people who don’t use WhatsApp?
From the position page they answer the same questions on the web, leaving a name and email. Their application reaches the Recruiting board like the others.
Do I have to change ATS?
No. Import positions from your job board or careers page link, and with the connector in Settings → Integrations anyone who applies in your ATS gets the first message on WhatsApp. Prescreening writes nothing back to your ATS.
What happens to candidate data?
A conversation left untouched beyond the period set for the number (365 days unless you change it) deletes itself. Candidates can also write “delete my data” and the conversation is erased at once.
