The Hidden Cost of First Interviews – Wasting 17+ Hours a Month

We’ve all been there. You block 30 minutes for a candidate, but within 5 you realise they’re not the right fit — leaving you to politely finish the call while your to‑do list grows. Multiply that across dozens of applicants, and you’re looking at wasted hours, delayed decisions, missed top talent, and mounting frustration — time that could be invested in identifying the right potential candidates and driving the company’s growth.

The Screening Struggle

• Each first interview takes about 35 minutes — and with most candidates not progressing, that’s hours of recruiter time lost every week on low‑yield conversations instead of focusing on top prospects.
• Unconscious bias can skew judgment, leading to the missed opportunity to hire high-potential candidates who could drive long-term success.
• Delays in screening not only slow decisions but also risk losing top talent to competitors, impacting team performance and overall company growth.

Why Not Do It All Yourself? 

While ChatGPT can give you a taste of AI-assisted hiring, doing it entirely on your own means:

• Heavy manual effort in creating, sending, and tracking questions.
• Repeating interviews for the same candidate across rounds.
• No bulk processing for large volumes (e.g., 100+ resumes).
• Lack of secure data handling.
• Ratings based on inconsistent or subjective criteria.
