Fast-Tracking Hiring: Speak with our AI agent

Zen gets thousands of applicants every day. As part of our onboarding, we like to get to know candidates personally and early. But reaching out to everyone quickly is hard. People are busy. Schedules don’t align. Calls get missed.

So we built an AI voice agent to help.

Our AI voice agent speaks with candidates as soon as they’re ready. It’s a short conversation that feels like talking to someone from our team. It asks questions based on your profile. It helps us understand where you are in your job search and what kind of roles you’re looking for. It also answers common questions about Zen and how we work. Here is an example call

after the call, someone from our team reviews the call and will follow up with you directly. This helps us move fast. They read the transcript, hear your responses, and decide whether you’re a good fit to move forward. In many cases, that’s all we need to qualify someone and offer them roles. If we still have questions, we follow up directly.

This helps us move fast, stay personal, and make sure no strong candidate gets left waiting.

Why take an AI call

We built the AI interview to make things faster, easier, and more personal — for everyone.

It saves time and gets things moving

You don’t have to wait for a call. You can speak to the AI agent anytime. Morning. Evening. Weekends. This means we can often review your answers and move you forward in a day or two, instead of waiting for someone to become available.

It treats everyone fairly

Every candidate hears the same questions. That keeps the process structured and consistent, no matter when or where you take the call.

It puts people at ease

Many candidates say they feel more relaxed speaking to the AI. There’s no pressure, no awkward pauses, and no need to impress someone on the other side of the line. Just honest answers, in your own time.

What Candidates Are Saying

I thought it was really good. I am interested in ai myself, I use it a lot. At first I thought "this is weird" but then I just jumped in. I would use it again if I had to. It is easy on the nervous system - no judgement / no anxiety of interviewing with another human.

I liked that it spoke to me based on my experience on my profile. I appreciated the questions and liked how it responded appropriately. I like that it did not cut me off. I would use it again.

Perfect interaction / almost as if I was speaking to a human / yes I would use it again.
