AI HR Voice Assistant: The 2026 Update to Hiring Faster

Our newest AI HR voice assistant runs 10-min screens and 20-min first-round interviews with identity checks, rubric scoring, and auto-handoff to your recruiter.

AI HR Voice Assistant: The 2026 Update to Hiring Faster

The 2026 update to MAZ Assist's AI HR voice assistant closes the gap between "applied" and "shortlisted" in under 30 minutes. Instead of forms, candidates get a real voice interview — same rubric, same questions, no scheduler back-and-forth.

What's new

  • Identity verification before every real interview so no one else takes the call for the candidate.
  • One-shot invite links — a link can be used exactly once, no second attempts to game the rubric.
  • Structured 10-min screen or a full 20-min first-round interview, chosen per role.
  • Ranked shortlists with resume-match score, transcript, and auto-book with the recruiter for anyone who passes.

Where it fits

In-house HR teams use it to filter high-volume roles (support, ops, sales). Staffing firms and BPOs use it to screen hundreds of candidates a week without adding recruiter headcount.
