Wayfaster

Wayfaster is an AI-powered interview platform that lets recruiters, startups, and staffing firms screen their entire candidate pipeline roughly 10x faster using voice AI. Its AI interviewer, named Steve, conducts automated phone screening interviews, generating relevant questions directly from the job description and adjusting follow-ups based on each candidate's responses, then returns an objective scorecard, summary, transcript, and video recording for evaluation. The platform automates candidate screening, interviewing, and shortlisting, ranks candidates against customizable criteria, and integrates with the major ATS and HRIS systems so results flow into existing hiring workflows. For case-based interviews it applies stringent anti-cheating measures including candidate video recording, voice-change detection, video analysis, and tab-change monitoring. Screening interviews have emerged as one of the strongest early wedges for voice AI (per a16z), where high-volume recruiting benefits from interviewing many candidates in parallel with consistent, fairer evaluation. Trusted by recruiters at 400+ companies, Wayfaster reports reducing recruiter call needs by about 40% and interviews running 60-80% cheaper than a human-administered screen. Pricing is tiered by interview length and role type.
