TechScreen, powered by AI Verify, is the world's only SaaS product that lets a recruiter conduct a detailed interview of an IT candidate without truly knowing the underlying content, announced today that is has joined the hundreds of companies who have inserted AI into their SaaS product offerings, but they are alone in the area of technical evaluation.

TechScreen 5.0 is powered by AI Verify, which is able to process a live interview and score the accuracy of the candidate’s answers and the efficacy of their explanation. Companies have struggled for decades in screening technical candidates. AI Verify instantly levels the playing field for every recruiter who hires IT candidates.

“I have made it my mission in life to help recruiters more effectively qualify IT candidates,” TechScreen CEO Mark Knowlton said. “I created TechScreen in 2016 to level the playing field for recruiters in being able to screen IT candidates, but they still had to interpret their detailed technical explanations. Our UI highlighted the key terms to help recruiters track the candidate’s answer, but we have removed that from the equation.”

AI Verify examines the candidate’s answers and generates an overall summary of the interview, as well as a detailed analysis of each answer. Clients can send this report to hiring managers, who can see a granular analysis of each answer before they decide to move forward. They also have a link in the PDF that contains the audio of the interview so they can hear the candidate’s explanations for themselves.

“Recruiters have been ripped and ridiculed for decades by IT professionals for lacking technical acumen,” Knowlton said. “There was once a Facebook group titled “Why I Hate Recruitment Consultants”, which had derisive comments like ‘These **** are like cancer’ and ‘They’re useless and should be shot at dawn’. TechScreen 5.0 with AI Verify lets IT recruiters instantly inherit the ability to interact with technical professionals at a peer level.”

Indeed.com once did a study that showed the US economy loses $160B a year due to the lost productivity of empty seats. HR industry leader Josh Bersin did a study that said the average time-to-fill is 52 days, which explains the opportunity cost highlighted by the Indeed.com study.

“I saw a recent post on LinkedIn that had a pie chart that showed 120 companies that illustrated what they called ‘mind-blowing’ AI products,” Knowlton said. “They are broken into 6 categories: Chatbot, Video, Writing, Design, Productivity and Marketing. Are they useful? No Empowering Technical Recruiters www.techscreen.com question. Do they help save people time? Absolutely. We are solving the single biggest pain point and business problem that has plagued IT Recruiting for as long as the industry has existed. We are going to alter the course of history in how companies hire knowledge workers.”

TechScreen wants to help companies qualify IT candidates on the first contact, reducing the time it takes to hire. AI Verify is the only product in the world that empowers recruiters to engage with IT professionals on a peer level, but that is just the beginning. TechScreen is going to expand its portfolio to cover all categories of knowledge workers: Engineering, Healthcare, Legal, Biotech, Nursing, Aviation and any other vertical that requires specialized professional knowledge.

“Recruiters often get beat up for not being subject matter experts in their respective space, but let’s get real about something,” Knowlton said. “Most recruiters enter the space as new college grads and are forced to ‘learn’ their industry on the job. TechScreen has figured out a way to inject subject matter expertise into their daily job execution without forcing them to painfully acquire the knowledge through time-consuming rote memorization.”

AI Verify is the first generation of a platform that will qualify SME candidates on the first contact. The next generation will qualify those specialists before recruiters even reach out to applicants, injecting an automation into the hiring process that was impossible before AI reached its current state of maturity

“We are going to disrupt HR Tech with as much resonance as the introduction of the browser,” Knowlton said. “The difference with us is that we are wiping out learning curves that used to take years and bring it down to one click.”
