TALENT ACQUISITION

Candidate Screening

50 candidates. Zero scheduling calls.

23 hrs

average recruiter time spent on initial phone screens per open role, before a single qualified interview.

The Problem

Screening calls are necessary but brutal at scale. Thirty minutes per candidate means days of recruiter time before a single qualified interview. And the process is inconsistent — different recruiters probe different things, surface different signals, and reach different conclusions.

How It Works

1

Write the screener

Define the role requirements, must-have experience, and what a strong answer sounds like.

2

Candidates self-schedule

They receive a link and complete the voice screen at their convenience — no recruiter present.

3

Review the ranked results

Transcripts and scores are ready before your morning coffee. Spend your time on the people worth interviewing.

What Decibl Scores

Role fit

Does their background and experience match what the role actually requires?

Communication

Are they clear, structured, and concise — or rambling and hard to follow?

Motivation

Do they understand the role and company, or is this clearly a spray-and-pray application?

Culture alignment

Do their values and working style match the team's environment?
