The problem

ChatGPT wrote the CV.
Can they pass a live conversation?

AI writes the CV, polishes the portfolio, and sits quietly on the Zoom call. What it cannot do is take a phone call and answer for itself. A live conversation is the only screening left that still works.

3xinterviews scheduled

with every applicant called within the hour, while they are still interested.

17hsaved per week

of candidate calling handed back to every recruiter.

10xmore candidates

reached, including the records sitting untouched in your ATS.

What the CV can’t say

3 calls that highlight what a CV will never tell you

5 dealbreakers your ATS can’t see: Salary, Visa, Notice, Commute, Agrees to Return to Office. Your system can only filter candidates based on partial CVs.

Reach every candidate,
not just the top ten

Applicants get a call within the hour, not just when you can reach them. The records sitting untouched since last quarter get called too.

Let Hiro AI run the screening interviews

From Singapore numbers, in Singapore hours, after checking the Do Not Call Registry.

Every call opens the same way: your agency, your consultant, the reason for the call, and that this is an AI assistant on a recorded line. Then it asks, listens, and stops after two "no"s.

Sounds like a colleague

Candidates interrupt, change their minds and go off script. It listens

Most voice AI sounds like voice AI. HireHiro was engineered against that, on purpose.

Thinks out loud like a person

Short bridging phrases cover the moments it is working out what to say, so the candidate never hears dead air.

Listens while you talk

Quiet “mm-hm” and “right” while the candidate speaks, the way an attentive colleague does.

Recovers from interruptions naturally

No stiff “As I was saying”. It yields, answers, and picks the thread back up the way people do.

Knows when to stop

After two clear “no”s it thanks the candidate and ends the call. It never quotes personalised rates or makes promises; it hands the hard questions to a consultant.

Screening call · excerpt01:12 to 01:31
Assistant …and the role is a twelve month contract with the option to extend, based in the CBD, and the team you would be joining sits…
Candidate Sorry, is this with a bank?
Assistant It is, a retail bank. Does that change things for you?
Candidate No, no. I just wanted to know before we went further.
Assistant Of course. So, twelve months, option to extend, and the team sits inside their payments group

Works inside your ATS

Your consultants never leave the system they already know.

HireHiro is API first. Candidates come in from your ATS, and every call writes back to the candidate record.

What lands in the record

  • Audio, timestamped and stored
  • A transcript your consultant skims in 20 seconds
  • Structured fields, written straight to the ATS
  • Consistency flags where the CV claim and the spoken account do not match
REST API and webhooks CSV import and export

Manatal Open API is available on the Enterprise Plus plan; ask us about the CSV path if you are on Professional.

One call is not outreach.

Most candidates do not answer the first call. HireHiro retries on a schedule you set, then follows up on WhatsApp, and stops the moment someone responds.

Rules you control:Retry windowGap between attemptsWhatsApp fallback on or offQuiet hours

Built around your EA licence

You hold an EA licence. So we built for PDPA first.

Every call is screened, disclosed, logged and retained the way MOM and the PDPC expect.

Consent on file for every number

A PDPA consent record, with date and purpose, sits against every number. No record, no dial.

Do Not Call check before every dial

Every number is screened against the Do Not Call Registry, re-checked every 21 days, logged per call.

Singapore hours, disclosure up front

Calls run only inside Singapore-time windows you set. The agent names your agency and says it is an AI in the first sentence.

Opt-outs honoured on the call

Opt-outs take effect on the call, then go on a permanent suppression list.

Fair-hiring question library

Screening follows the Tripartite Guidelines. Never age, race, religion or family plans. Never NRIC or bank details.

Your data stays yours

Hosted in Singapore. Recordings kept for the retention period you set, then deleted. Never used to train models.

Audit log per call

Who approved the script, when the DNC check ran, what was disclosed, what was captured, who listened to the recording.

Script versioning and approval

Every change to what the assistant says is a new version with a note, and goes live only when approved.

Singapore numbers, Singapore hosting

Calls originate from +65 numbers on Singapore infrastructure, which matters because overseas-routed calls presenting +65 have been blocked by local telcos since December 2022.

What the candidate hears first

Your agency. Your consultant. The reason for the call. That it is an AI assistant. That the call is recorded. And that we will never ask for NRIC or bank details.

Pilot voices

Consultants who stopped arguing with it

“Eleven thousand CVs sitting there doing nothing. It called four thousand of them in a week and found us nineteen people on notice.”

Priya Raghunathan, Managing DirectorMarina Bay Search Partners, Singapore

“The compliance side is what got it past my partner. It would not dial anyone we did not have consent for, and it showed us which records those were.”

Daniel Ong, PartnerKeppel Talent Group, Singapore

“My consultants stopped arguing about it the day it booked three interviews before lunch without anyone touching a phone.”

Melissa Tan, Head of DeliveryOrchard Search, Singapore

“Two placements out of a list I had written off. That paid for the year in the first fortnight.”

Arjun Menon, Founding DirectorRaffles Quay Recruitment, Singapore

Questions agencies ask us

The twelve questions we hear first

Answered here rather than on the call, because a page that dodges these is a page nobody trusts.

Ask the rest on the demo call
Does it work with my ATS?

HireHiro connects to Bullhorn, Vincere, Manatal, JobAdder, Recruit CRM and Zoho Recruit, and to anything else through its REST API and webhooks. If you run a spreadsheet, start with CSV.

Is this allowed under the Do Not Call Registry?

PDPC guidance indicates that a message sent solely to promote an employment opportunity, with no marketing element, is not a specified message under the DNC provisions. HireHiro checks the Registry before every call regardless, re-checks every 21 days, and honours opt-outs immediately. Our written position is available to your DPO.

Do candidates know they are speaking to an AI?

Yes. Every call opens with your agency's name, your consultant's name, the reason for the call, and a statement that this is an AI assistant and that the call is recorded. No Singapore law requires this. We do it because candidates deserve it and because trust is what makes them answer.

What will it never ask a candidate?

Age, race, religion, marital status, family plans, disability or mental health, in line with the Tripartite Guidelines. It never asks for NRIC, bank details, passwords or one-time passcodes. Right to work is asked as pass type.

Does it sound like a robot?

Listen to the calls above, or let it call you. It uses natural bridging phrases instead of dead air, quiet listening sounds while the candidate talks, and recovers from interruptions the way a person does. It stops after two clear “no”s.

Where is candidate data stored, and do you train on it?

Data is hosted in Singapore. Retention periods are set by you and deletion is on request. Your candidate data is never used to train models for other customers.

Which languages does it speak?

Singapore English as standard. Mandarin and Malay are available for specific desks; ask us during the demo about the roles you recruit for.

Why call when everyone is on WhatsApp?

Because a message in a muted chat is not a confirmation, and because a three-minute call captures what takes six message round-trips. HireHiro can send a WhatsApp or SMS heads-up before the call and a summary after it.

What happens if a candidate asks for a person?

They get one. HireHiro offers a live transfer to a consultant or books a consultant call, and attaches the context so nobody repeats themselves.

How long does setup take?

A pilot on one desk typically goes live within two weeks: connect the ATS, approve the questions, choose the roles. We assign an implementation owner who stays with you.

What does it cost?

You pay for completed conversations, with telephony and AI bundled and no per-minute surprises, scoped to your consultants and active roles. We share exact numbers on the demo against your own placement economics.

Do I need to tell my clients that shortlists were screened by an AI?

That is your decision. Many agencies do, because a structured, consistent first screen is a selling point. We can provide a one-paragraph client-facing description of the process if you want one.
