Voice Agents

Manage the AI assistants that make your screening calls.

The Voice Agents page (“Your Screening Assistant”) is where you manage the AI voice that screens your candidates. Most organizations use a single agent; you can create more if different roles need a different name or voice.

The agent card

The page leads with your primary agent (your default agent, or your first one):

  • Name — the agent’s configuration name
  • Voice — the currently selected voice
  • Language — shown on the card; English (US), English (UK), Spanish, French, and German are supported
  • Status — Active (screening candidates automatically) or Inactive

Additional agents appear under Other Voice Agents, each with the same name/voice/language/status summary and a Settings button.

Choosing a voice

The Choose a Voice grid sits next to your primary agent — click a voice to select it. Each voice has a tone description:

VoiceDescription
MarinWarm and natural. Recommended for screening.
CedarClear and professional.
ShimmerWarm, professional female voice.
AlloyNeutral, versatile voice.
EchoMale, clear voice.
SageCalm, measured voice.
VerseEngaging, dynamic voice.
BalladWarm, expressive voice.

Creating an agent

  1. Click Add Voice Agent (or Create Voice Agent if you have none yet).
  2. Enter a name (e.g., “Sales Screener”, “Tech Recruiter”) and click Create Agent.

The new agent starts from your organization’s template with sensible defaults; adjust its voice and settings afterward.

Editing an agent

Click Settings on any agent to open its configuration:

  • Agent Name — the configuration’s display name.
  • Agent Persona Name — the name the agent uses when introducing itself on calls (e.g., “Hi, I’m Anna…”).
  • Active — whether this agent is enabled for screening calls.
  • Default Agent — use this agent as the default for new jobs.
  • Voice Settings — the same voice list as above.
  • First Message — the opening line, with variables for the candidate’s first name, job title, and company name — plus a First Message Mode that controls whether the agent speaks first or waits for the candidate.
  • Knowledge Base — upload documents this agent can reference when answering candidate questions on calls.

You can also place a test call from this page to hear the agent before it screens real candidates.

Per-job agent settings

Each job can tune its agent from the Voice Agent tab in the Job Console (Jobs → open a job → Voice Agent):

  • Agent Persona — the name the agent introduces itself with on this job’s calls.
  • Voice — pick a voice for this job, with an audio preview button so you can hear it say a sample greeting.
  • Company Pronunciation — a phonetic spelling of your company name if the agent mispronounces it, with a preview to check the result.
  • Template — the agent template this job’s agent was created from (shown for reference; it’s chosen when the job is created).
