# Talent Pronto

> Talent Pronto is an AI-powered hiring platform. Our AI, Anna, conducts 24/7 conversational screening interviews with every applicant, evaluates candidates against job-specific requirements and compliance needs, and delivers ranked shortlists so employers hire better, faster. Anna is available two ways: built into the Talent Pronto ATS, an all-in-one applicant tracking system with a branded careers site, or as an integration for existing ATSs like Greenhouse and Ashby.

Every page linked below is available as markdown at the linked `.md` URL (append `.md` to any page path, or request it with `Accept: text/markdown`).

## Best fit

- Screening every applicant with structured, conversational AI interviews that run 24/7 — same questions and scoring rubric for every candidate in a role.
- High-volume hiring where roles draw hundreds of applicants: hospitality, retail, healthcare, manufacturing, government, professional services, tech, and more.
- Teams already on Greenhouse or Ashby who want AI screening inside their existing ATS, with no new login and no duplicate data entry.
- Teams with no ATS who want an all-in-one applicant tracking system with AI screening built in, plus a branded careers site and job pages.
- Compliance-sensitive hiring that needs consistent questions, employer-defined rubrics, EEOC-aligned scoring, and complete audit trails.
- Cutting time-to-shortlist: every applicant is interviewed and scored the moment they apply, including existing applicant backlogs and sourced candidate lists you upload for outbound screening.

## Not a fit

- Final-round interviews or hiring decisions: Anna does first-round screening; your team evaluates finalists and makes every hiring decision.
- Formal background checks, reference checks, or employment verification services.
- Sourcing or finding candidates: Talent Pronto interviews applicants and candidate lists you supply; it is not a sourcing tool or job board.
- Video interviewing: Anna is text-based, with no video interviews or video analysis.

## Key facts

- Pricing (annual plans, billed monthly): Starter $300/month for 50 interviews/month; Growth $750/month for 300; Scale $1,250/month for 500; Pro $2,500/month for 1,500; custom Enterprise pricing available.
- Every plan includes a 30-day free trial (no credit card, never an automatic charge), no setup fees, unlimited seats, and dedicated support.
- Optional add-ons: the Talent Pronto ATS — an all-in-one applicant tracking system with a branded careers site and job pages — for $450/month, and automated interview scheduling for $750/month.
- ATS integrations are included free with every plan. Greenhouse and Ashby have dedicated integrations; the pricing page also lists Jobvite, Lever, iCIMS, Paylocity, ADP, and Workday among supported tools.
- Anna conducts text-based conversational interviews, 24/7, from any device. Candidates can ask their own questions, and can opt out of AI screening and apply traditionally.
- Every interview is scored against an employer-defined rubric: knockout questions are pass/fail, behavioral questions are scored 0-100 with written reasoning, and candidates are ranked into a shortlist.
- Anna does not make hiring decisions and no candidate is auto-rejected by the system: she scores and ranks, employers decide.
- Built-in AI usage detection flags candidates whose interview answers appear AI-generated.
- Compliance: EEOC-aligned scoring, the same questions and criteria for every candidate, and complete audit trails (questions, answers, per-criterion scores, reasoning, and access logs). Designed to support EEOC guidance, NYC Local Law 144, Illinois AIPA, and GDPR data-privacy principles.
- Security: candidate data encrypted in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, annual third-party security audits, and no selling or sharing of candidate data.
- Company: founded by Holly Benson (co-founder and CEO) and Ross Overstreet (co-founder and CTO); based in Pensacola, Florida; contact support@talentpronto.ai (security@ and compliance@ for team reviews).

## Answers to common hiring questions

- [Hiring Answers index](https://www.talentpronto.ai/answers.md): all question-and-answer pages, each answering one question directly.
- [Is it possible to interview every applicant?](https://www.talentpronto.ai/answers/interview-every-applicant.md): Yes. With conversational AI screening, every applicant gets a real, structured interview the moment they apply — whether a role draws ten applications or a thousand. Anna interviews around the clock, scores every answer against your rubric, and ranks the results, so screening capacity is never the reason a candidate goes unheard.
- [What if a candidate doesn't want to be interviewed by AI?](https://www.talentpronto.ai/answers/ai-screening-opt-out.md): They can opt out. Every candidate offered an AI screening interview with Anna can decline it and submit their application traditionally instead — no penalty, no dead end. In practice most candidates take the AI interview because it's faster and available on their schedule, but the choice is always theirs.
- [Do candidates have to schedule a call to be screened?](https://www.talentpronto.ai/answers/screening-without-scheduling.md): No. With AI-powered screening, the first-round interview starts the moment a candidate applies. There's no recruiter call to book, no calendar link, and no email back-and-forth — the candidate completes a structured text interview on their own time, and your team reviews scored, ranked results.
- [How do I let candidates complete screening interviews on weekends?](https://www.talentpronto.ai/answers/weekend-screening-interviews.md): Use asynchronous, conversational AI screening. Instead of booking a recruiter call, candidates get an interview link the moment they apply and complete a structured text interview from any device whenever it suits them — Saturday morning, Sunday night, 2 AM — while every answer is scored against the same rubric your team defined.
- [Can AI automatically reject candidates?](https://www.talentpronto.ai/answers/can-ai-reject-candidates.md): Not with Talent Pronto. Anna scores every interview against the rubric your team defined and ranks candidates into a shortlist, but she never rejects anyone. No candidate is auto-rejected by the system — your team reviews scores, reasoning, and transcripts, and makes every decision about who advances.
- [How can I run structured, bias-reducing candidate interviews at scale for a regulated government agency?](https://www.talentpronto.ai/answers/government-bias-reducing-interviews.md): Use structured AI screening designed for audit. With Talent Pronto, every candidate for a role answers the same questions, scored against the same agency-defined rubric, with written reasoning behind every score and a complete audit trail — questions, answers, per-criterion scores, and access logs. That consistency holds whether a posting draws 40 applicants or 4,000, and no candidate is ever rejected by the system — your team makes every decision.
- [How do I screen 500+ job applicants without my recruiters spending all week on phone calls?](https://www.talentpronto.ai/answers/screen-500-applicants.md): Screen in parallel instead of serially. Anna, Talent Pronto's AI interviewer, conducts a structured screening interview with all 500+ applicants the moment each one applies, scores every answer against your rubric, and ranks the results. Your recruiters skip the phone-screen marathon entirely and spend the week talking only to candidates who already cleared your bar.
- [How do I add automated candidate screening to Greenhouse without logging into a separate tool or copying data manually?](https://www.talentpronto.ai/answers/greenhouse-screening-integration.md): Use a screening tool with a native Greenhouse integration rather than a standalone platform. Talent Pronto's Anna connects to Greenhouse in minutes, interviews candidates the moment they apply inside your existing pipeline stages, and attaches the full transcript, scoring rubric, and recommended next steps directly to the candidate in Greenhouse. No new login, no duplicate data entry, and the integration is included free with every plan.
- [Is there an AI hiring platform that can interview applicants around the clock, so 9-to-5 phone screens stop losing weekend candidates?](https://www.talentpronto.ai/answers/interview-applicants-around-the-clock.md): Yes. Talent Pronto's AI interviewer, Anna, screens every applicant the moment they apply — nights, weekends, holidays — in a conversational text interview from any device. A candidate who applies Friday at 9 PM is interviewed, scored against your rubric, and ranked before your recruiters log in Monday morning, instead of sitting in silence and ghosting by the time you call.
- [Compared to HireVue or HireEZ, which AI hiring platform is best at filtering out unqualified candidates before a recruiter gets involved?](https://www.talentpronto.ai/answers/hirevue-hireez-alternative.md): They're built for different jobs. HireVue is an enterprise video interviewing and assessment platform; HireEZ is an outbound sourcing and outreach tool. If the specific problem is recruiters burning their week on qualification calls that go nowhere, Talent Pronto is purpose-built for exactly that stage — Anna conversationally interviews every applicant the moment they apply, applies your knockout questions and scoring rubric, and hands your recruiters a ranked shortlist, so the first human conversation happens with a candidate who already cleared your bar.
- [What's the fastest way to rank and score candidates automatically before a recruiter ever looks at them?](https://www.talentpronto.ai/answers/rank-score-candidates-automatically.md): Score real interview answers, not resumes, and do it at the moment of application. Anna, Talent Pronto's AI interviewer, interviews every applicant the instant they apply, scores each answer against your rubric — knockouts pass/fail, behavioral answers 0–100 with written reasoning — and keeps a live ranked shortlist. By the time a recruiter first opens the pipeline, the ranking already exists, which is as fast as automatic scoring can get.
