For Australian recruitment agencies

We ring every applicant. You read what they said.

Skye Agent reads the CVs you received, interviews every candidate by phone or by a link they can use in their own time, then hands back a scored table with the transcript sitting beside every claim in it.

Hi Aisha, I am calling on behalf of Northline Recruitment about the site supervisor role. This call is recorded so a recruiter can review your answers. Is now still a good time?

Do you have full working rights in Australia?

The problem

Three hundred CVs, one role, and a week of phone tag nobody has.

So the shortlist gets made from whoever read best on paper. The candidate who would have been right for it is somewhere in the pile, never asked.

Skye Agent asks all of them the same questions, in the same order, and writes down what they said. Screening thirty nine people is not undone by the fortieth having no phone number on their CV.

How it works

Five steps from a pile of CVs to a shortlist

  1. 01

    Create the job opening

    Title, location, employment type. Entered by you, in a minute.

  2. 02

    Set the must-haves and questions

    Up to fifteen hard requirements and twenty questions. Both freeze when the job opens, so every candidate is measured against the same set.

  3. 03

    Upload the CVs you received

    PDF and DOCX, including scans. Each one is read automatically and becomes a candidate. Duplicates are skipped before the file transfers.

  4. 04

    Screen everyone who is ready

    Rung one at a time, on weekdays, inside your own calling hours in your own timezone. Or send a link and let them do it when it suits.

  5. 05

    Read the results

    One row per candidate carrying the CV, the call and the score together. Sort it, filter it, send the shortlist as a link.

Walk through all five steps

Results

The screen that replaces the spreadsheet

One row per candidate, carrying the CV, the call and the score together. Sorting and filtering happen across the whole job rather than the page on screen, and both live in the address bar, so a shortlist is a link you can send a colleague.

An unscored candidate is not a zero
Anyone not yet reached sorts to the bottom in both directions, rather than sitting above your shortlist.
The reason travels with them
A candidate who was never called says why, in their own row. A blank cell is the thing somebody has to chase.
The export is what is on screen
CSV or XLSX, taking the same filters and sort, with one column per screening question and phone numbers Excel will not mangle.

Evidence

Every score quotes the transcript it came from

This table is used to reject people, so a recruiter has to be able to check it rather than take it on faith. Must-haves are confirmed by asking the candidate, never guessed at from a name, an address or where somebody went to school.

Must hold a current White Card

Meets
I do, renewed it in March.

Quoted from the call at 04:23

Must have a manual driver licence

Does not meet
No, mine is automatic only at the moment.

Quoted from the call at 05:47

Must be available for weekend work

Not established
The call ended before this was asked.

Quoted from the call at 07:02

Not established is not a polite no. A question nobody got to is a gap in the evidence, not a finding about a person, so it is recorded as its own outcome and the export says so.

How candidates are assessed

Two ways

Ring them, or send a link

A screening call

Skye rings the candidate and asks your questions. One candidate at a time, up to three attempts, weekdays only, inside the hours your agency sets in your own timezone. A call needs one thing from the candidate: answering it.

A link they can use later

The candidate gets an email, opens it when it suits, and talks to the interviewer in their browser. Cheaper and clearer audio, but it asks more of them: an email opened, a working microphone, somewhere quiet. Anyone who has not used their link can still be rung.

Either way you get the same thing back: a transcript, an answer against every question, and a score. Nothing downstream knows or cares which way the interview happened.

Limits

What it does not do

Worth knowing before a demo rather than after one.

  • Post or advertise your jobs. You enter the opening and upload the CVs you already received.
  • Source or search for candidates. Skye Agent screens the applicants you have.
  • Write back to an ATS. There is no JobAdder, Bullhorn or Vincere integration today.
  • Ring people at all hours. Calls go out on weekdays only, inside the hours your agency sets.
  • Decide anything. It asks, records and scores. A recruiter shortlists.

Next

See it screen a role you recognise

Bring a job opening you are working on now and a handful of the CVs it brought in. We will set up the must-haves and questions with you, run a screening call, and you can read the transcript against the score yourself.
