Your managers are welcoming guests, not chasing applicants.
Busy dining rooms, guest services and hospitality operations leave little time for phone tag. Before the Hire handles the first conversation with consistent, job-related questions — so your managers can focus on people.
Hours back every week
No more phone tag. Applicants finish the pre-interview on their own time; you read it on yours.
Same questions, every applicant
Role-specific, job-related questions and a transparent rubric — so comparisons are apples to apples.
Know who to call first
Neutral summaries with quoted evidence help you prioritize who to bring in.
How it works
1. Share your link
Your business gets its own branded interview address — with your name and photos of your actual property. Put it in job posts, emails, texts or a QR code wherever applicants find you.
2. Applicants interview
They pick their role and answer 10 questions, one at a time, with thoughtful follow-ups when an answer needs more detail.
3. You decide
Read the full transcript, rubric evidence and summary. Move people to Interview, Hired or Not Selected — your call, always.

The AI assists. People decide.
We built Before the Hire around fair, transparent screening — not black-box scoring.
- Never hires or rejects anyone automatically
- Only job-related questions and evidence
- Never scores age, race, gender, disability, religion, accent, appearance or other protected traits
- Applicants consent up front and see a plain-language privacy notice
- Managers can delete an applicant's records at any time
