Candidate screening
AI candidate screening for staffing and recruiting
Your recruiters are calling candidates who don't pick up. Ringtime screens them through real conversations on phone and WhatsApp, in 22+ languages, before they go cold. No decision trees. No scripts. Applied at 11pm? Screened by 11:08.

BUILT FOR FRONTLINE
Frontline hiring fails between candidate and first contact
A candidate applies at 11pm. Or your ATS matches 30 profiles to a new warehouse vacancy. Either way, someone needs to call them. Your recruiters start dialling at 9am. By then, the candidate is on shift, underground, or already placed by a competitor.
Without Ringtime
Your recruiters chase candidates one call at a time. Most attempts go to voicemail. The candidate goes cold before a recruiter reaches them.

Two triggers
New application or new vacancy. Ringtime handles both.
Applications come in 24/7. At the same time, your ATS matches dozens to hundreds of existing candidates to new vacancies every day. Ringtime screens both streams. Automatically.
TRIGGER 1
Candidate applies for a vacancy
Someone applies via your website, job board or Facebook campaign. The application lands in your ATS. Ringtime picks it up and starts screening within minutes. Before the recruiter's next coffee break, you have a clear recommendation per candidate.
Application lands in ATS
Ringtime contacts candidate (WhatsApp or phone)
AI screens on your knockout questions
Results back in your ATS. Recruiter call scheduled.
TRIGGER 2
ATS matches candidates to a new vacancy
A new vacancy comes in. Your ATS matches 20, 50, or 200 profiles from your database. But are they still available? Still interested? Ringtime calls them, checks, and screens. Your recruiter gets a shortlist of people who are actually ready.
New vacancy created, ATS matches profiles
Ringtime reaches out to matched candidates
Checks availability, screens for this specific role
Qualified candidates in your ATS, recruiter calls already scheduled.
Screening
You decide what gets asked. Ringtime handles the conversation.
Pick your screening questions, set the order, mark which ones are knockout criteria. Different vacancy, different screening. Adjust any time without engineering support.
Built for frontline
Why this works for blue-collar candidates
Ringtime handles the repetitive parts of your candidate pipeline so recruiters focus on what actually requires human judgement.
Evenings, weekends, between shifts
Frontline candidates work shifts. They don't pick up at 10am. Ringtime contacts them when they're actually reachable: evenings, lunch breaks, weekends. A 7pm WhatsApp gets a reply. A 9am call gets voicemail.
22+ languages, no option menus
Your candidate pool speaks dozens of different languages. Ringtime detects the language and continues naturally. If someone starts in English and switches to Polish, the conversation follows. No "press 1 for Polish.
Phone and WhatsApp, not forms
Blue-collar candidates don't fill in online forms. They respond to a WhatsApp message or pick up a call. Ringtime screens through conversation, not through a portal nobody completes.
"Of every campaign we set up, 52% of candidates respond. That's phenomenal. We've got more time for real conversations with candidates and our team gets quicker with it every week."
Michiel Alen , Expert Office Manager at Trixxo Jobs
"Most of my day used to be endless calling and voicemail. With Ringtime, candidates actually respond on WhatsApp, get screened and interviews are booked without me chasing anyone."

ATS INTEGRATION
Works in front of your ATS, not instead of it
Two-way sync. Triggers come from your ATS (new application, new match). Results go back to your ATS (screening outcome, transcript, candidate summary). Your recruiters never leave the tools they know.
- Two-way sync: triggers from your ATS, results back into it
- No migration. Live in weeks, not months
- No vendor lock-in
GDPR-native.
EU-hosted. AI Act-proof.
Data stays in the EU. Every conversation is logged and auditable. The EU AI Act classifies recruitment AI as high-risk. Ringtime is built for that reality: AI is disclosed upfront in every conversation, the screening produces a recommendation, and your recruiter always makes the final decision. Your compliance team won't lose sleep over this one.
