AI audio interviews give recruitment teams a structured way to screen candidates using voice-based interviews before progressing them to later hiring stages.

Instead of arranging an initial live call with every applicant, recruiters can configure interview questions, select an AI interview agent, assess relevant candidate background information, and manage progression within the recruitment workflow.

What Is an AI Audio Interview?

An AI audio interview allows candidates to complete an interview through spoken responses rather than attending an initial live meeting with a recruiter.

Recruiters can prepare the interview in advance and define what information should be collected from candidates.

A typical process can look like:

Application → AI Audio Interview → Candidate Evaluation → Pass Criteria → Next Recruitment Stage

This creates a more structured early-stage interview process while reducing the need to manually coordinate every first-round conversation.

Configure the Audio Interview as a Recruitment Stage In Joboro, recruiters can add an AI Audio Interview directly into the vacancy screening workflow.

When creating the stage, recruiters can configure elements such as:

• Interview stage title
• Interview expiry period
• Required marks to pass
• Automatic candidate progression

This means the audio interview becomes part of the wider candidate journey rather than operating as a separate interview tool.

For example:

CV Screening → AI Audio Interview → Assessment → Live Interview → Final Decision

Choose an AI Interview Agent

Joboro allows recruiters to select the AI interview agent that will guide candidates through the interview experience.

Available interview agents can have different:

• Voices
• English variants
• Personalities
• Interview experiences

This gives recruiters more control over how the automated interview is presented to candidates.

Collect Candidate Background Information

Before the main interview questions begin, recruiters can configure background areas they want to understand better.

These can include:

• Technical Skills
• Problem Solving
• Team Collaboration
• Projects Worked On
• Educational Experience

Recruiters can select the areas that are relevant to the vacancy rather than asking every candidate unnecessary questions.

For example, a technical role may focus more heavily on:

Technical Skills + Problem Solving + Projects Worked On

while another position may place more emphasis on:

Team Collaboration + Educational Experience

Create Your Own Interview Questions

Recruiters can manually create questions when they already know exactly what they want candidates to answer.

For example:

“Describe a challenging technical problem you solved and how you approached it.”

Multiple questions can be added to create a structured interview specifically for the vacancy. This is useful when recruiters want complete control over the questions used during candidate evaluation.

Generate Interview Questions With AI

Recruiters can also ask Joboro to generate interview questions using AI.

The recruiter can define:

• A skill or topic
• Expertise level
• Number of questions

Expertise levels can be adjusted from:

Beginner → Intermediate → Expert

For example, a recruiter hiring for a software development position could select a technical skill, choose an intermediate level, and generate several questions appropriate to that level. This can reduce the time required to manually prepare every interview question.

Combine Manual and AI-Generated Questions

Recruiters do not need to choose between fully manual interviews and fully AI-generated interviews. Joboro supports both approaches within the same interview setup.

For example:

Manual Questions

• Questions specific to the company
• Questions about particular responsibilities

AI-Generated Questions

• Technical knowledge questions
• Skill-based questions
• Questions matched to a selected expertise level

Combining both gives recruiters more flexibility while keeping the interview relevant to the vacancy.

Define Expected Responses

For manually configured questions, recruiters can also provide expectations around what a good response should cover.

This helps create a clearer evaluation framework for candidate answers.

Instead of simply asking:

“What is Java?”

the interview can also include guidance around the concepts expected in a suitable response.

This creates a more structured basis for evaluating answers across multiple applicants.

Control Candidate Progression

Joboro also allows recruiters to define the required marks to pass the Audio Interview stage.

When automatic progression is enabled, candidates who successfully complete the stage according to the configured workflow can continue to the next recruitment step.

A workflow may therefore operate as:

Candidate Completes Audio Interview → Interview Evaluated → Required Result Achieved → Candidate Progresses

This can reduce the manual work involved in moving candidates between screening stages.

Why Use AI Audio Interviews?

AI audio interviews can be useful when recruiters need to screen larger candidate groups without scheduling an individual first-round call with every applicant.

They can help recruitment teams:

• Create consistent interview structures
• Ask role-specific questions
• Collect candidate background information
• Generate skill-based questions faster
• Adjust question difficulty
• Reduce first-round scheduling work
• Connect interview results with candidate progression
• Keep screening inside the ATS workflow

The purpose is not to remove recruiters from interviewing. It is to make the initial interview stage easier to structure and manage.

AI Audio Interviews vs Traditional First-Round Calls

Live recruiter interviews remain valuable for deeper candidate conversations. Audio interviews can help determine which candidates should reach that stage.
