01 — Why Vettika
First-round screening, without the first-round cost.
A voice AI runs the screen, scores it against your rubric, and hands you a transcript — so you only meet the candidates you choose.
Interviews on us — no card, no subscription. The agent screens every applicant the day they apply.
Rubric-scored report in your inbox after the candidate hangs up. No proctoring overlay.
Average first-round. Adaptive follow-ups, scored against your rubric, transcript kept.
The first round is broken — hours of scheduling, half-listening, and gut-call rejections. A voice AI should run the screen, score it fairly against your rubric, and hand both sides the transcript.
So you spend your hours on the candidates who matter — and every applicant gets a real conversation, their own score, and no black-box rejection.
02 — Scheduling
Candidates book themselves. No ping-pong.
Share one link. They pick a slot, consent, and join from any browser — the agent runs the screen on time, every time. Zero calendar back-and-forth on your side.
Interview booked for Thu, June 12 at 10:00.

07 — FAQ
Answers people actually search.
What is an AI first-round interview?+
A voice AI conducts the same kind of conversation a recruiter or founder would in an initial screen — introduces the role, asks 4–6 questions about the candidate’s background, follows up adaptively on weak or interesting answers, then ends within a time cap. The output is a transcript and a rubric-scored report.
How is voice AI different from one-way video screening?+
One-way video tools (Spark Hire, Willo, HireVue early) ask the candidate to record themselves answering pre-set questions. There’s no listening, no follow-up. Voice AI joins the call as a real participant — it can press on a vague answer, change the next question based on what was said, and respect the candidate’s time.
Are candidates okay with AI conducting interviews?+
The viral Reddit thread that said "I’d rather stay unemployed than talk to another robot" was about black-box AI screening with no feedback. We designed for the opposite: the candidate keeps the transcript, sees their own score, and the interview caps at 12 minutes. See the candidate side yourself from the widget — sample transcript plus the exact scored report, no signup — you’ll judge faster than we can explain.
Is AI screening compliant with NYC Local Law 144?+
Yes. LL144 requires a bias audit within the prior year, public disclosure of the audit summary, and 10-business-day candidate notice before AEDT use. We support the full audit-log surface a vendor needs. See /product/compliance.
Can candidates cheat using ChatGPT during a voice AI interview?+
Real-time voice + adaptive follow-ups defeat scripted AI replies. The agent catches hesitation, mid-thought pivots, and follow-up context-misses that scripted answers can’t handle. We don’t proctor or run cheat-detection — we just talk fast enough that scripts fall apart.
How long does an AI interview take?+
Twelve minutes hard cap. Most run 8–11. The agent wraps automatically when the clock runs out.
What happens to the recording?+
Transcript is stored, audio is destroyed on hangup by default. Candidate can download their transcript. Audit log of every session is exportable for compliance.
How much does it cost?+
First 3 interviews free, no card. Then a 10-pack at $19 ($1.90 each), a 50-pack at $79 ($1.58 each), Pro at $49/mo for 30 interviews plus $1.50 each over, or Agency at $149/mo for 100 interviews plus $1.00 each over with white-label and 10 seats. No-shows free across every tier — an interview only counts when the candidate audibly spoke. No annual contracts.
