What WorkSignal is
WorkSignal screens external job applicants through short, role-specific voice interviews and returns ranked candidates with supporting evidence. Every applicant receives the same structured conversation for a role. Resume Claim Verification asks questions drawn from each applicant’s resume and checks the answers against those claims. The service checks synthetic-voice signals, response timing, voice consistency, VPNs, VOIP numbers, location mismatches, IP changes, and multiple sessions. AI recommends candidates, but a person must review each conversation before a candidate advances. WorkSignal runs on the web and through an API, with job-posting publishing and jurisdiction rules. Starter includes 100 voice screens monthly; extra screens cost 2.50 USD there, 2.00 USD on Growth, and 1.50 USD on Scale. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, while recordings and transcripts are retained up to one year or until deletion.
