It scores and ranks. Your director decides who to call back.

The first interview, without leaving the room.

Directors stop working a phone queue between ratios and start reading answers.

  • Classroom scenarios, asked the same way

    An upset child at drop-off, asked to each applicant in the same words, with the recording.

  • Certifications, labeled as stated

    A CDA or CPR card stays a statement, with the quote, until your team checks it.

  • Hear the answer before you call

    Each score cites the moment it came from, so your director can listen before the callback.

What stays with your team

  • Checking certifications and state requirements
  • Background checks, clearances and abuse registry checks
  • Child safety and reporting obligations
  • Ratios and room assignments

A ScreenWith AI score does not show that someone is safe to work with children. Required background checks and clearances come before anyone is hired or left alone with children.

03 · Questions

What centers usually ask.

See it with one of your roles.

Bring a job post. We set up the interview with Emma and you take it yourself.

Or email support@screenwith.ai

Does it replace background checks or clearances?

No. ScreenWith AI is a first screen only. Every verification, clearance and background check your state requires stays with your team, and a person makes every hiring decision.

Does it check CDA, CPR or other certifications?

No. It asks, and records what the applicant says, labeled “Stated by applicant” and not verified. Checking stays with your team, and the scorecard points them to what to verify.

What if an applicant can’t or doesn’t want to take a video interview?

An applicant needs a phone or computer with a browser, a camera and a microphone, and the link. Every invite explains how to ask for another way to interview, such as a call from your team. Your team decides how to respond, and accommodation requests stay out of scoring.

Do we need hiring software or an ATS?

No. To start, your team sends the invite link by email and reads results in ScreenWith AI. We’ll list an integration only once it works.

Which languages work?

The interview is in English. If English is not needed for the job, your team should offer another way to apply. Spanish is planned, and we’ll say it is available only once it works.

Are there rules for AI tools used in hiring?

Some places, including New York City, Illinois, Colorado and California, have rules for AI tools used in hiring, such as notices to applicants and bias audits. Your team stays responsible for its own compliance. Tell us where you hire and we’ll tell you what we can document today.

What happens to the recording?

The recording and transcript are shown to the team that invited the applicant. The retention period will be stated in our privacy notice once it has been reviewed.

What does it cost?

There is no limit on recruiters or open roles, and we quote against the screens you expect to run. We aren’t publishing a price table until we’ve measured how many applicants finish an interview.

Interview everyone. Decide with evidence.

Your team makes the call. We handle the first round.
