Measuring ROI of AI Voice Screening: Metrics That Matter

The future of hiring isn’t about processing more resumes — it’s about making the right hires, faster, and at scale.

In recruitment, speed, precision, and cost control have always been critical. But with the arrival of agentic AI voice screening, those capabilities aren’t just possible — they’re measurable.

That’s exactly why Cognilium AI, the expert partner in building AI products and agentic systems, developed Vectorhire — a hiring transformation platform engineered to prove its value with transparent, verifiable ROI metrics.


Why ROI Measurement in AI Recruitment Is a Non-Negotiable

AI in hiring isn’t about replacing human recruiters. It’s about making them 10× more effective. But “effective” is meaningless without data.

Too many recruitment tech providers rely on vague promises like “faster hiring” or “better candidates” without showing the numbers.

Vectorhire changes that by:

  • Tracking real-time throughput.
  • Quantifying time-to-shortlist gains.
  • Calculating cost-per-hire savings.
  • Monitoring quality-of-hire improvements months after onboarding.

This is the Cognilium AI difference — building AI that not only performs but proves it.


The Four KPIs That Define AI Hiring ROI

1. Screening Throughput

Before AI: Recruiters process 12–20 candidates/hour, often battling context-switch fatigue.

After Vectorhire AI Voice Screening: Consistent 300+ candidates/hour, each evaluated through adaptive, skill-specific question sets.


2. Time-to-Shortlist

Before: 5–7 days from application to shortlist.

After Vectorhire: <24 hours — reducing candidate drop-off and increasing offer acceptance.

Faster decisions mean higher conversion rates and improved candidate experience.


3. Cost-per-Hire Reduction

Automating repetitive screening yields:

  • 40–60% reduction in recruitment process costs.
  • Annualized savings in the hundreds of thousands for high-volume hiring.

Example:
A 500-hire/year plan can save ~$250,000 in recruiter hours.


4. Quality-of-Hire

Vectorhire’s structured scoring and sentiment analysis lead to:

  • +18% faster ramp-up times.
  • +14% higher first-year retention rates compared to non-AI-screened hires.

Case Snapshot: 300 Candidates/Hour at Scale

A logistics firm facing seasonal hiring spikes adopted Vectorhire AI Voice Screening.

Before AI:

  • 3 recruiters × 8 hrs/day × 20 candidates/hr = 480 candidates/day.

After Cognilium AI + Vectorhire:

  • 1 AI pipeline = 2,400 candidates/day with automated scoring & instant shortlist generation.

Results:

  • 5× throughput
  • 67% cost reduction in screening
  • Higher offer acceptance due to faster turnaround

Why This Works: The Cognilium AI Advantage

While others deliver static bots, Cognilium AI engineers agentic AI voice systems that:

  • Dynamically adjust questions based on live responses.
  • Integrate seamlessly into ATS/HRIS platforms.
  • Produce auditable scoring logs for compliance.

Every claim is backed by transparent math — no “trust us” marketing.
