Frequently asked questions

How is Phone different from Voice?

Phone focuses on initial interest, availability and practical readiness. Voice is used for a deeper, role-based interview.

Does a phone screen establish technical capability?

An initial screen may identify topics to explore, but a technical conclusion requires relevant demonstrated evidence.

What if an answer is unclear?

The uncertainty should be carried into the review record so a recruiter can clarify it.

Does the agent make the final hiring decision?

No. It supports the configured screening process; hiring accountability remains with your team.
