"You sent 47 scheduling emails this week. 12 candidates rescheduled. 6 no-showed. 3 were clearly wrong within 90 seconds. That's 22 hours of your life — gone."

Phone screens are the single biggest time sink in recruiting. The average first-round call takes 30 minutes, and the majority result in rejection. That means most of your screening time produces zero value.

What if candidates could complete their first-round interview at 2am on a Sunday — and you could wake up Monday morning to a scored, transcribed, ranked shortlist?

That's not a fantasy. That's AI video interview software, and it's already here.

AI Video Interview FAQ

Are AI video interviews legal?

Yes. ConnectsBlue's AI Video Screener uses structured, standardized questions with consistent evaluation criteria. This reduces bias compared to unstructured phone screens and aligns with EEOC guidelines for fair hiring practices.

What's the difference between an AI video interview and a recorded video interview?

A recorded video interview simply captures answers. ConnectsBlue's AI Video Screener goes further — it transcribes, analyzes, and scores every response across multiple dimensions, then ranks candidates automatically.

How many AI video interviews can I send?

The free plan includes AI video interview capabilities. Pro subscribers get unlimited interview sessions, the Scoring Model Selector, and downloadable PDF reports.

Can I customize the interview questions?

Yes. You can write custom questions, set time limits, choose difficulty levels, select focus areas (Technical, Behavioral, etc.), and rearrange question order with drag-and-drop.
