uRecruits Takes Scheduling and First-Round Interviews Off Recruiters' Plates as Interview Scheduling and AI Pre-Screening Agents Go Live

AI conducts a full pre-screening interview with every candidate. Every hiring round that follows is coordinated automatically. No phone screens, no scheduling emails, just the right people ready to meet.

CLEVELAND, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- uRecruits, the AI recruitment software platform for HR teams, recruiters, and staffing agencies, today announced the simultaneous launch of two new capabilities inside uR Agent™, its conversational hiring assistant: the AI Pre-Screening Agent and the Interview Scheduling Agent. Both are live immediately for all customers on every plan, from $39 per month.

Manual phone screens consume hours of recruiter time per role, vary widely in quality, and create a bottleneck before the live interview pipeline even starts. Scheduling back-and-forth across candidates, interviewers, and hiring managers compounds across every open role. The AI Pre-Screening Agent and Interview Scheduling Agent remove both from the recruiter's workflow entirely.

WHAT LAUNCHED TODAY

AI Pre-Screening Agent

Conducts fully autonomous, voice-led interviews. Generates role-specific questions from the job description, interacts with candidates across video, audio, text, and multiple-choice formats, and delivers a structured evaluation with per-question feedback, transcripts, and recordings. Powered by GPT-4o, OpenAI TTS, Whisper, and Temporal, with sessions stored in Amazon S3.

Interview Scheduling Agent

Coordinates every round in the hiring lifecycle. Pre-screening invites, assessments, interview scheduling, and feedback collection flow from a single natural language command. The agent generates time slots, sends a secure self-booking link, detects conflicts in real time, confirms in Google Calendar or Outlook, and updates the candidate record. Every action is recruiter-confirmed before it applies.

uRecruits is the only accessible hiring platform combining native AI-conducted pre-screening, automated coordination across every hiring round, built-in skill assessments, and an applicant tracking system in one connected platform. Enterprise platforms with comparable capabilities start at $4,000 per year. uRecruits delivers the complete stack from $39 per month.

BUILT FOR BOTH SIDES OF THE HIRE

Most hiring automation is built around the recruiter. uRecruits is built for both sides. Candidates pre-screen on their own schedule with no login required. When they advance, one email delivers a clean self-booking page with instant confirmation, no chase needed. In high-volume industries like healthcare, technology, and skilled trades, where top candidates receive multiple offers within 48 hours, reducing candidate-side friction is as commercially significant as reducing the recruiter's.

"Recruiters are relationship builders, not schedulers, and certainly not phone-screeners. With AI Pre-Screening and Interview Scheduling now live, recruiters get that time back: candidates pre-screen on their own time, the AI conducts a complete evaluation, and every hiring round is coordinated with one command."
