Common questions

How does Apply by Voice work?

Instead of filling out forms or uploading a resume, you have a 6-10 minute voice conversation with an AI interviewer. It asks about your experience, skills, and interest in the role — then gives you instant feedback.

What feedback do I get after applying?

You'll immediately see your strengths highlighted, specific areas for improvement, actionable tips to get better, and recommended resources to build your interview skills.

How long does the conversation take?

Most conversations take 6-10 minutes. It's a natural back-and-forth about your experience — much faster than filling out a traditional application.
