New: AI voice and video screening interviews are live. See how it works →
AI-first ATS The AI reads. You decide.

The AI reads every application. You make the call.

LunchBox HR scores, screens, and interviews your applicants the moment they apply, then hands your team a ranked shortlist with the reasoning behind every score. A complete ATS underneath, with AI built into the pipeline instead of bolted on beside it.

How it works

You post a job. LunchBox AI runs the rest.

From one job post to a hire-ready shortlist, the AI handles the heavy lifting and hands the decisions back to you.

LunchBox AI flow: a recruiter posts a Software Engineer role, the LunchBox mascot creates the job description, salary and questions, then shortlists and calls candidates, ending in a handshake hire
1

You post a job

Give LunchBox the role you're hiring for. That's the only manual step to get started.

2

AI builds the role

LunchBox AI writes the job description and salary range, drafts the candidate questions, and sets up the full application journey.

3

Shortlists & double-checks

The AI shortlists candidates, then runs a first interview call with the disqualified ones, just to confirm it hasn't made a mistake.

4

You review & hire

LunchBox hands you the top candidates, ranked and reasoned, so you make the final call and hire with confidence.

AI Screening

Every applicant, scored and ranked the moment they apply.

The instant someone applies, LunchBox HR's AI evaluates their resume and answers against the role and produces a fit score. Your pipeline board sorts itself, strongest candidates rise to the top, so your team spends its time on the people most worth talking to.

Automatic scoring on every application, gated by a simple per-job toggle
A written summary explaining each candidate's strengths and gaps
Knock-out questions and salary filters to screen out non-starters before scoring

AI Interviews

Give every applicant a first interview. Let AI run it.

Send candidates a branded, on-demand screening interview they can take in their browser, voice or video, in their language, on their schedule. LunchBox HR asks your questions, records the conversation, and scores the result against four dimensions: Clarity, Confidence, Relevance, and Depth. Your team gets a transcript, a recording with seek-to-timestamp playback, and a per-question breakdown with rationale.

Screen the whole top of your funnel without booking a single calendar slot.

Watch a sample AI interview
01

Configure once

Set the format, language, time limit, persona, and up to four questions (opener, behavioural, technical, situational) right inside the job.

02

Invite in a click

Send the interview from the candidate's card with a 48-hour, 72-hour, or 7-day window.

03

Get a scored assessment

When they finish, AI produces an overall score, dimension ratings, tone tags, and a question-by-question rationale, playable inline with chapter markers.

Shared calendar scheduling

Coordinate every interviewer's calendar, without the back-and-forth.

Interviewing rarely involves one person. LunchBox HR manages availability across every interviewer on a role at once. Each interviewer simply marks their free slots, and LunchBox HR finds the overlap, picks a time that works for everyone, and schedules the interview with the candidate, calendar invites included. No email threads, no reschedule ping-pong.

Re-applicant intelligence

Know what's changed since they last applied.

When a past applicant comes back for the same role, LunchBox HR doesn't make you dig through old applications. The AI compares both submissions and writes a short "what's changed" summary, new skills, more experience, updated answers, and how much time has passed, surfaced right on the candidate's card. Multiple applications from the same person are grouped into one card automatically, so your board stays clean.

Automation with a conscience

Auto-handle weak fits, and catch the ones who improve.

Turn on auto-disqualify and LunchBox HR moves clearly weak-fit candidates out of your active pipeline based on their AI score. Optionally, it sends them a branded, respectful note. If a disqualified candidate replies with new information, the AI re-reads it, re-scores them, and if they now clear your bar, moves them back into the pipeline automatically. Every action is logged on the candidate's timeline.
