The Power of Voice Hiring – Gandalf Vs. Gollum
Believe it or not, a candidate’s voice gives away so much about their personality. It is a common notion that only the appearance of a candidate speaks volumes about how they are, but that isn’t entirely true.
But what if we told you that you can understand so much about a potential candidate merely by their voice? Don’t believe us? To top it off, according to a new study, a listener can make judgments regarding a person’s personality traits, such as trustworthiness, likability, aggressiveness, and dominance because of a short sound snippet. Whoever knew this, right?
Take Yoda, for example. His voice is soft, calm, and he often jumbles up words, but he always says the right thing, thus making him a delight to be around. Now consider Darth Vader, his voice and speech do not sound right, and it is fairly obvious why he would be a bad hire. Similarly, you would hire a Gandalf, but not a Gollum, based on a phone call, right? This is how important voice is!
Today, with the pandemic in the air, recruitment mostly happens virtually, hence appearances based character clues based on face-to-face interaction is a no-go. Be it during a virtual interview, or during candidate assessment, it is imperative to really listen to a potential candidate. Yea, really!

- Insight into communication skills: Communication is key, said a wise man once, and we couldn’t agree more. Clear communication is a relevant life skill and plays a crucial role in recruitment. When a candidate communicates with you, at a pre-screening stage, or during a virtual interview, a lot can be said based on the clarity in their thoughts, words, and language. Thus, helping you decide if they are good communicators. Always remember, great communicators, make great employees!
- Determine communication score: With the right AI-based screening and calling software, you can determine the communication score of a candidate, purely based on their voice. With Callify.ai, we synthesize the voice clip to derive multiple acoustic features. Using a scientific model to determine spoken English levels, we score on Pronunciation, Grammar, Vocabulary, Fluency, and Tonality to determine Communications score.
- Personality Matching: AI-based recruitment solutions, do more than just automating your hiring process. Using 16 personality types by Carl Jung, the calling software by Callify.ai determines whether the given job role will be the innate preference of the candidate. This match will provide you with the likelihood of a candidate becoming a long-term asset for the company.
Our complex machine algorithms will judge a candidate based on his communication skills. This plays a key role in determining the personality type of the said candidate. At Callify.ai, we use voice parsing methods to derive Voice Acoustic features and using Big-5 OCEAN traits model to score personality and Rubric’s model to score on Spoken English & Communications skills.
