ProductAI screening

Every candidate gets a real first-round screen.

Vitae is the ATS and CRM that adapts to your business. Run structured first-round screens by chat or short video, scored to your rubric, and surface only the candidates worth your time.

01What screening does/ six capabilities

From the application to a structured candidate record.

Chat + video

Structured screens, not forms

Candidates answer a set of role-specific questions by chat or short video. You define the questions once, and every applicant gets the same fair first round.

Always on

Candidates respond on their own time

No scheduling back-and-forth. Applicants complete the screen whenever they like, even after hours, and the results are waiting for you in the morning.

Rubric

Scored to your bar

Define the criteria once: must-haves and nice-to-haves. Vitae scores each answer against your rubric and shows the reasoning per question, so it is comparable across candidates and recruiters.

Transcript

Every answer on the record

Video and audio answers are transcribed automatically. The full transcript, summary, and score sit on the candidate record, ready to review or share.

Approval gate

You decide who advances

Vitae produces a summary, a score, and a recommended next step. The recruiter reviews and decides. Nothing advances or gets rejected on its own.

At volume

Screen everyone, not just the top of the pile

High-inbound roles usually mean ghosted candidates or rushed forms. Structured AI screening lets you give every applicant a real first round.

02What you get/ per screen

Minutes after the screen, you have all of this.

03How candidates feel/ honest take

Better than being ghosted.

Most candidates would rather take a 10-minute screen on their own time than wait three weeks for a recruiter to maybe-respond. We hear this every week from customers running screening in production.

“Our candidate experience scores went up after we turned on AI screening. Faster replies, fairer screens, and recruiters who actually had time to follow up properly with the people who passed.”

04Screening FAQ/ seven questions

Questions about AI screening.

The questions we get most often from teams trying out structured screening.

Yes. Vitae tells candidates the screen is AI-assisted and pauses recording until the candidate consents. Region-specific scripts are configurable. Recordings can be deleted on request and are excluded from training data by default.
