​
Who Should Use This Recruiting Screen to Interview Workflow

  • Staffing, recruiting agencies, healthcare hiring, retail hiring, logistics, BPOs, and high-volume tech recruiting.
  • Teams with many applicants and repetitive screening criteria.
Track candidate contact rate, qualified screen rate, interview booking rate, recruiter time saved, and no-show rate. The workflow matters because speed and candidate experience directly affect hiring conversion.

​
Before You Begin

Prepare the following before building the workflow:
  • A clear source event that should start the call.
  • A published DialNexa agent with an approved prompt and human-handoff rule.
  • A test contact who has agreed to receive the call.
  • Access to each source and destination system in the example stack.
  • A short list of structured outcomes to store with post-call analysis.
  • An owner for failed runs, sensitive requests, and low-confidence matches.

​
How The Recruiting Screen to Interview Voice AI Workflow Works

  1. A new applicant, sourced lead, or reactivated candidate enters the workflow.
  2. DialNexa checks ATS stage, role, location, availability, compensation range, and required qualifications.
  3. The AI calls the candidate and confirms interest, experience, notice period, location, schedule, and must-have requirements.
  4. Qualified candidates are offered interview slots.
  5. The ATS receives screening answers, summary, tags, and next-stage status.
  6. Recruiters receive alerts for exceptional candidates, compensation mismatches, or relocation issues.
  7. Unqualified candidates receive a polite disposition and optional talent-pool tag.

​
Build The Recruiting Screen to Interview Workflow Step By Step

  1. Define the trigger. Choose one source event and document which records are eligible for the workflow.
  2. Prepare the agent. Add the goal, questions, approved actions, disallowed actions, and transfer conditions to the agent prompt.
  3. Map call context. Pass only the required customer and business fields through dynamic variables.
  4. Connect the systems. Use a workspace connector when it is available. Otherwise use a custom function, agent webhook, or external automation service.
  5. Store structured outcomes. Define the exact status, reason, owner, due date, and destination record ID that the workflow must produce.
  6. Add the next action. Configure the workflow or application node that updates the destination system, sends a message, or creates a human-owned task.
  7. Test every branch. Test success, rejection, no answer, wrong person, opt-out, missing data, provider failure, and human escalation before launch.

​
Data Contract For This Workflow

Store enough data to explain what happened without requiring the next owner to read the entire transcript:
  • Source event ID, source record URL, and workflow start time
  • DialNexa call ID, agent version, call status, and end reason
  • Matched customer or account ID and identity confidence
  • Structured outcome, reason, urgency, requested next step, and any promise made
  • Destination record ID, assigned owner, due date, and update result
  • Transcript or recording link only when your privacy and retention rules allow it

​
Example Integration Stack

Provider pages describe possible connection patterns. Confirm the provider and required action in your DialNexa workspace before relying on a native connector.

​
Human Review And Failure Paths

Escalate candidates with unusual compensation, relocation, visa, accessibility, or legal questions. Avoid rejecting candidates automatically when the match confidence is low. Always send opt-outs, complaints, identity uncertainty, policy exceptions, sensitive data, and actions that change money, access, legal terms, or customer commitments to a trained person.

​
Verify The Workflow Before Launch

Run at least one test for every outcome branch and confirm that:
  1. Only eligible records enter the workflow.
  2. The agent receives the expected variables and does not expose internal field names.
  3. The destination system stores the correct status, owner, and DialNexa call ID.
  4. Retried events do not create duplicate calls or duplicate downstream records.
  5. Opt-outs and human-handoff cases stop automation immediately.
  6. The next owner can understand the result and promised next step from the destination record.

​
When should recruiters review before scheduling?

Send edge-case answers, compensation gaps, relocation issues, incomplete identity, senior candidates, and candidates who ask for a recruiter to review details before scheduling.
