By streamlining recruitment, Screenify enabled Antler to screen out 70% of candidates early, saving time and enhancing team efficiency.
Antler, a global early-stage VC, identifies and invests in founders at the earliest stages, often providing their first institutional checks. With up to 8,000 applications per batch and stringent acceptance rates (3-4% admitted, under 1% funded), Antler faced a significant challenge: streamlining their scouting process while maintaining their rigorous standards and ensuring a positive founder experience.
To overcome these challenges, Antler partnered with Screenify, an AI-powered screening platform. This collaboration not only improved efficiency but also enhanced the overall process.
Antler’s scouting process was resource-intensive due to several factors:
Prior to Screenify, a 20-minute first-round interview sometimes felt like a waste of time—someone we should have screened out earlier.
To ensure we were the right solution for Antler, Screenify team collaborated closely with the Antler team to understand their needs, test our platform, and refine its features to fit their processes perfectly. Together, we piloted a series of test batches to demonstrate our platform’s effectiveness. This allowed Antler to see how our AI evaluations aligned with their internal standards.
We worked side-by-side with Antler to refine the evaluation scorecards and scoring parameters, ensuring our outputs aligned perfectly with their standards for identifying top talent. We also made thoughtful adjustments to ensure our AI-driven solution offered a positive, seamless experience for candidates. Features like video assessments enabled founders to showcase their communication skills and body language, while transcripts and summaries provided transparency in evaluations.
The wow moment was when we saw the alignment between Screenify’s scores and human evaluations in a batch of candidates.
Through our partnership, Antler achieved remarkable improvements in their recruitment process:
We helped Antler reduce the time spent on first-round interviews by over 40%, freeing up bandwidth for their team.
Our evaluations aligned with human assessments in over 80% of cases, reinforcing trust in the platform.
Over 70% of candidates were screened out before live interviews, allowing their team to focus on the most promising applicants.
By incorporating video assessments and detailed transcripts, we provided Antler with richer insights to make informed decisions.
Screenify transformed the way we evaluate candidates, helping us bridge the gap between static application data and meaningful insights that align with our rigorous standards.
Antler has integrated Screenify into their scouting operations as a trusted partner. As they continue to expand, we’re excited to support their evolving needs and help scale their process even further.
Screenify transformed our scouting process, making it faster, more accurate, and scalable without compromising our high standards for founder evaluation. The kind of hands-on, white-glove service Screenify provided made us trust this tool even more.
