What is HeyMilo AI?

HeyMilo AI automates the initial screening stage of hiring by conducting voice interviews with candidates. Rather than recruiters manually scheduling and conducting first-round interviews, the tool handles this work through AI-powered conversations. Candidates answer predetermined questions in a recorded voice format, which the system then analyses to help recruiters identify promising applicants more quickly. The tool is designed for recruitment teams and hiring managers who want to reduce time spent on early-stage candidate screening. By automating voice interviews, organisations can process more applications in less time whilst maintaining a personal touch through conversational interaction. This works particularly well for roles where volume hiring is common or for companies looking to speed up their hiring pipeline without adding headcount to their recruitment team.
