Can I use AI during a phone interview?

Phone Interview AI Assistant for Recruiter Screens
Use AI on a phone interview: Cloqa hears the recruiter, shows the question as text and suggests short answers from your resume. Pay per minute, not per session.
Why a phone screen is a good place for an AI assistant
A phone screen is short and predictable: tell me about yourself, why this role, salary expectations, a few questions about your resume. Nobody sees your screen, so you can keep prompts in front of you. What is missing is time to think, and that is what Cloqa covers: the question appears as text and a few talking points follow on one hotkey.
Two ways to set it up
The cleanest setup is to take the call on your computer: a calling app, a softphone or your phone’s calls routed to your laptop. Cloqa then hears the recruiter through the system audio and you through the microphone. The simple setup is a phone on speaker next to the laptop: Cloqa hears both voices through the microphone. Test either one with a friend first.
Pay for minutes, not for a “session”
Phone screens are often 15 minutes, so Cloqa bills per started minute of a live session: a 15-minute call costs 15 minutes from your hours. Every account starts with 5 free sessions of 10 minutes; after that packs start at 3 hours for $29, and hours never expire.
Common use cases
- Recruiter phone screens
- Calls taken on your computer
- A phone on speaker next to your laptop
Why Cloqa
Generic AI tools do not understand a live interview timeline. Cloqa combines live transcription, your resume, the job description, uploaded documents, and a focused desktop app so the guidance stays relevant while the call is happening.
FAQ
Do I need a video call for it to work?
No. Cloqa needs only audio: the system sound of the call or your microphone.
What does a short phone screen cost?
Time is billed per started minute, so a 15-minute call uses 15 minutes of your hours. The first 5 sessions of 10 minutes are free.
Does it know my resume?
Yes. You upload your resume and paste the job post before the call, and the prompts are built from them.
