Talent acquisition leaders lose over $12k per open role in recruiter phone-screen bandwidth while qualified candidates languish in unread applicant pools for weeks.

Vetra automates structured, voice-based candidate evaluations directly within enterprise ATS environments. It conducts dynamic 15-minute preliminary screens, verifies candidate responses against structured role rubrics, and flags resume inflation with real-time competency benchmarks. This saves hiring managers 25 hours per vacancy while cutting initial screening cycles from 14 days down to 4 hours.

Vetra aims to establish the global infrastructure for objective, verifiable pre-employment candidate evaluations across high-growth industries.

Problem
  • When I manage high-volume recruiting campaigns, I want to evaluate hundreds of applicants rapidly, but manual initial phone screens waste 25 hours per vacancy and extend time-to-hire by 14 days.
  • Why Now: High-volume candidate applications surged 300% due to automated job application bots, overwhelming human recruiters with unqualified applicant backlogs.
  • When I review screening notes from hiring teams, I want standardized evaluations, but subjective recruiter notes lead to misaligned hires costing over $15k in bad onboarding decisions.
  • When I schedule preliminary interviews across time zones, I want immediate candidate engagement, but back-and-forth calendar coordination causes a 35% candidate drop-off rate.
  • Existing Alternatives: Manual 20-minute recruiter phone screens, static text questionnaires, and one-way video recorded responses that applicants frequently abandon.
