AI for recruiting and hiring-manager screens
You're 22 screens deep this week. The candidate's claim sounds plausible but vague. Sway listens, recognizes the gap, and surfaces the follow-up question that would expose substance vs. story — in real time, with no meeting bot.
What Sway does on a screening call
- ●Real-time question prompts — when a candidate gives a vague answer, Sway surfaces the follow-up that probes for substance
- ●Rubric tracking — your scorecard is loaded; Sway tracks which competencies you've covered and prompts the next gap
- ●Red flag detection — inconsistent timelines, exaggerated impact claims, evasive answers — Sway flags them in the moment so you can dig deeper
- ●Auto-debrief draft — strengths, weaknesses, next questions, and a recommended call ready when the screen ends
Recruiter phone screens
High volume, repetitive structure. Sway makes sure no qualifying question slips while you stay engaged in the conversation.
Hiring manager interviews
Domain-specific competency screens. Sway prompts the next deep-dive question based on what the candidate has just claimed.
Reference checks
When the reference gives a soft answer, Sway helps you reframe to get to the real story without pushing too hard.
Debrief notes
Every commitment, every concern, every follow-up — captured automatically so your scorecard write-up takes 2 minutes, not 20.
Common questions
How does Sway help on a recruiting screen?
Sway listens to the live call, picks up role keywords, skill claims, and red flags, then surfaces the next screening question that should follow — so candidates can't coast on vague answers. It also captures every commitment the candidate makes for accurate follow-up.
Will the candidate see Sway?
No. Sway renders below the macOS screen capture layer used by Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. The candidate never sees it in the participant list and there is no bot.
Is using Sway on a candidate screen ethical?
It is a tool that helps you ask better questions and remember accurately — the same job a co-interviewer or a printed rubric does. It does not record or replay the conversation on a server. Many orgs treat it like notes; check your hiring policy.
Does Sway integrate with my ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby)?
Not yet. Sway focuses on what happens during the call. After the call, the recap is in your clipboard ready to paste into your ATS notes field. ATS integrations are on the roadmap.
Can Sway help with debrief notes?
Yes. When the call ends, Sway generates a clean debrief: strengths claimed, weaknesses surfaced, follow-up questions you committed to, and a recommended next step. You paste it into your scorecard.
