By the time I listened to recorded ramblings, it would most likely be quicker for me to do the phone screen myself. I prefer to have a career center, do knock out questions, and then briefly review those the system knocks out. It amazes me how often a candidate selects the wrong thing (lives in our zip code, yet marks "no" to "do you live in xx or within driving distance"), and we do NOT just ignore them based upon that mistake alone.

It shows that the company does not care enough about their potential employees to speak with them directly.

These days, anyone can get free help (from career centers, government one-stops, etc) or even pay to get a good looking resume. No matter how good the resume looks, I always call for an initial phone screen follow-up. I think this product will help you validate a good resume. It doesn't seem likely to replace the face-to-face, but maybe just cut down on bad initial (resume) selection. I’ve had some really good looking resumes turn up very bad candidates.
