About Free AI Phone Interview incl. Practice
Introduction to Free AI Phone Interview incl. Practice
Free AI Phone Interview incl. Practice is a voice-based interviewing solution from Align-A that automates initial phone screens and provides a free interview practice mode for candidates. The system conducts AI-led phone interviews at any time, captures explicit consent at the start of each conversation, and outputs structured notes and ranked shortlists to support fair, consistent comparisons.
The product serves two primary groups: employers (hiring managers, founders, recruiters, and partners) who need scalable, consistent pre-screens, and job seekers who want to practice interview skills in realistic voice conversations. Compliance features such as consent logs and deletion workflows are built into the process.

How Free AI Phone Interview incl. Practice Works
Employers describe the role in a natural conversation with the system, which captures requirements, must-haves, and culture indicators. A unique job link is shared so candidates can call in, schedule, and complete an AI-led interview whenever it suits them. The experience is conversational rather than rigid Q&A.
Every interview begins with explicit verbal consent. During the conversation, the system’s agent (Aligna AI) analyzes responses in real time to extract competencies, communication patterns, culture signals, and potential risk flags. Using semantic embeddings, candidates are re-ranked with transparent reasoning and match scores. Results are delivered as structured notes, interview highlights, and a ranked shortlist.
For job seekers, the platform offers both the actual AI interview and a separate practice mode. Practice sessions are voice-based, provide immediate feedback, and can be repeated without limits.
