Replace resumes and phone screens with structured voice conversations. Get AI-powered insights in minutes.

== Description ==

Converge — Apply by Voice replaces traditional job applications with structured 6-10 minute voice conversations. Candidates apply by voice from any device, and you get actionable AI insights — key strengths, areas to explore, and screening data — all within WordPress.

**How it works:**

1. Install the plugin and connect your free Converge account
2. Your existing job listings (from WP Job Manager, Simple Job Board, or WP Job Openings) automatically sync
3. Candidates apply by voice — accessible from any device
4. You review AI-generated insights: key strengths, areas to explore, and conversation dynamics

**Supported Job Board Plugins:**

* WP Job Manager
* Simple Job Board
* WP Job Openings

No job board plugin? No problem — manage jobs directly in the Converge interface within wp-admin.

**External Service:**

This plugin connects to the [Converge Hiring](https://www.convergehiring.com) platform to provide voice application functionality. A free Converge account is required. The plugin sends job listing data (title, description, location) to Converge servers for sync, and retrieves candidate conversation data for display within WordPress.
