Two Days a Week, Burned on Phone Calls. There's a Fix.

Your recruiters aren't slow. They're stuck on a bottleneck that was always going to be automated: the phone screen. New data shows recruiters are burning 8 to 10 hours a week just on scheduling and conducting those calls. Add it up and you're looking at two full working days per recruiter, per week, spent on structured conversations that follow the same script every time. In this episode, we break down why the phone screen is the single biggest time sink hiding in your hiring funnel, how async audio screening changes the math, and what the ROI actually looks like for teams running 20, 50, or more hires a year. Spoiler: at OVI's Starter plan of $99 a month, teams running 50-plus hires a year recover the cost in the first week.
