InstaCruitScreen every applicant.
Instantly.
InstaCruit is an AI screening platform for recruiting teams. Every candidate gets a real first conversation minutes after applying: live voice or async video, their choice. You get the recording, transcript, and structured scores, and spend your time only on the people worth it.
Nothing is ever auto-rejected. Every hiring decision stays with your team.
Any hour, any timezone. The decision that follows is yours.
One screening, replayed
The screening grind, off your plate
You didn't get into recruiting to run thirty identical phone screens a week. Here is what happens to a single application, minute by minute, when InstaCruit does the first pass.
The application lands
The moment someone applies - or syncs in from your ATS - they are invited to a screening conversation: a live voice call or async video answers, their choice, evenings and weekends included. No scheduling. No ghosting.

A conversation that listens
Two minutes later Sarah is talking to a screener that follows up on what she actually said - the way a recruiter running a first screen would, not a fixed question list. A scripted one-way tool cannot ask why.
You mentioned a week where refund tickets spiked at your last job. What made that week hard?
Honestly, the volume. We went from forty tickets a day to about three hundred after a billing bug, and the macros we had didn't cover any of it…
Follow-up · asked because of her last answer
What did you change afterwards so the next spike wouldn't need heroics?
Recorded with Sarah's consent, given before the call started

Evidence, not a verdict
When the call ends you get the full recording, the transcript, and structured scores with the reasoning written out - for every candidate, not just the loud ones. Nothing is auto-rejected. The AI informs; it never decides.
Named the customer’s actual worry before answering it
Built macro triage after the surge she described
Escalated late, but documented why at the time
Full transcript and recording attached · every score carries its reasoning
Illustration · sample data
The decision stays human
You read the evidence over coffee and make the call - advance, book time with the team, or pass. The hours you used to spend on first screens go to real interviews with the people worth them. The human part stays human.

How this differs from one-way video tools
A conversation that can ask a follow-up, instead of a monologue into a webcam.

The stack
Works alongside what you already run
InstaCruit does not ask you to replace your ATS. It sits beside it: candidates in, evidence out, statuses honest. Every connector, and which way its data flows

Breezy HRCalendars
Connect your own Google Calendar or Microsoft 365 calendar and InstaCruit reads your busy times so it only offers interview slots that do not clash, then creates the interview on your calendar with the candidate invited and a video meeting link attached. If an interview moves or is cancelled, InstaCruit updates or removes that event. It only touches events it created, never the rest of your calendar, and you can disconnect at any time from Settings.
How we handle calendar data is described in our privacy policy. Questions: [email protected]

How the counting works
- What counts as one interview
- One completed AI screening with one candidate: the live voice call or the async video set, plus the transcript and scoring that comes out of it. Reviewing, re-reading or exporting it later never costs another credit.
- What happens at the limit
- New AI screenings stop starting. Nothing is deleted, your candidates and transcripts stay exactly where they are, and the rest of the product keeps working. On a paid plan the allowance refills at the start of your next billing period, or you can add a credit pack immediately.
- If you need more
- Prepaid packs of 25 screenings for $49, which works out at about $2 each and never expires. There is no metered overage and no automatic charge: you will never get an invoice you did not choose.
The free plan is a one-time allowance of 3 AI screening interviews, not a monthly one, so you can run real candidates through it and judge the quality before paying anything. Additional synced ATS or HRIS connections are $99 per month each.
Asked and answered
Questions recruiters actually ask
Straight answers, no sales gloss.
Something we missed? [email protected]
01Is this trying to replace recruiters?
No. It takes over the part of the job nobody misses: the repetitive first phone screen. Recruiters using InstaCruit still run every real interview, build every relationship, and make every decision. What changes is that they walk into those interviews with a transcript and scores instead of a cold resume, and their calendar isn't buried under screening calls.
02Is an AI screening call impersonal?
It is the opposite once you look at where the time goes. Today, most applicants never get a screening call at all. They get silence, or a rejection template. InstaCruit gives every single applicant a real conversation, and hands you back the hours you would have spent on repetitive first screens. You spend that time being genuinely personal with the candidates who matter. AI screens; humans decide.
03How is this different from one-way video tools?
One-way tools ask candidates to record monologues into a camera, and most people hate it. InstaCruit runs a live, two-way voice conversation: it listens, asks follow-up questions in real time, and adapts to each answer, like a phone screen that is available 24/7 in any timezone.
04Who makes the hiring decision?
You do, always. InstaCruit produces the transcript, a structured summary, and skill-based scores as decision support. Nothing is auto-rejected. Every recording and transcript is there for you to review, so the call stays yours.
05What is the candidate told?
Candidates are told up front that the screening conversation is run by AI, and they give consent before anything is recorded. They can take it on their own schedule, evenings and weekends included, instead of waiting weeks for a slot.
06Is there really a free plan?
Yes: 3 full AI screening interviews and two active jobs, free, no credit card. Enough to run real candidates through it and judge the quality yourself before paying anything.
07How do you handle candidate data?
Consent-first: candidates approve recording before a screening starts. Data is encrypted in transit, scoped to your organization, and deleted on request. It is built to GDPR principles from day one.
Get your screening hours back
Give every applicant a first conversation, get evidence instead of gut feel, and keep every hiring decision human. Try it free on a real role: 3 screens, no card.
