AI Screener Call

Updated this week

Completing Your AI Screening Call

When you add work experience and select positions you're interested in on Instawork, you'll need to complete a quick AI screening call to verify your qualifications. This AI interview ensures that your profile accurately reflects your skills and qualifications, helping to align you with shifts that best match your capabilities.

Starting Your AI Screening Call

You'll see a prompt to complete your AI screening in the "Open Shifts" tab of the app. Here's how to complete your screening:

1. Look for the "Call Now" button in the Open Shifts tab

2. Tap "Call Now" to see an overview of the screening process

3. Select your preferred language for the call

4. When you're ready, tap the "Call" button to begin

Important: Make sure you're in a quiet place and ready to take the call before tapping the "Call" button. The call will start immediately and last approximately 10-15 minutes.

What this means:

  • You need to complete an AI screening call for skilled positions

  • Your position approval is waiting on this call

  • Shifts won't appear until you complete the screening

During the Call

The AI screener will ask you questions about your work experience and skills related to the positions you've selected. Answer clearly and provide specific examples of your experience when possible.

After Your Screening

Once you complete the screening call:

- Your profile will be updated with approved positions

- You can immediately begin booking shifts for positions you've been approved for

- You'll see more shift opportunities that match your verified skills

If you are not approved for a position after the initial screener call, don’t worry, you’ll get another chance. You can still book a shift for that position, and you'll be prompted to complete a coach call (with a human) before your shift is confirmed.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Phone Number Not Recognized

  • Confirm you're using the number registered to your account

  • Log out and log back in to refresh your information

  • Check that your profile phone number is correct

Issues After Changing Your Phone Number

  • Verify your new number is saved in Profile and Account

  • Restart your phone

  • Check your phone settings allow calls from unknown numbers

  • Allow up to 24 hours for full activation

Reminders: Please do not book a shift that requires a coach call if you have just updated your phone number and it has not been 24 hours yet, to avoid being removed automatically for not being able to complete the AI screening call, as the coach will still attempt to reach the original number associated with that specific appointment slot.

Screening Call Errors

  • Verify your profile phone number matches the one you're using

  • Ensure your phone number update is fully synced

  • Try initiating the call again after checking permissions

Still having issues?
