Pre-screening

Pre-screening adds a short qualification step before the main AI interview (when you enable it). You choose the mode when you create an interview, then configure details in the interview editor on the pre-screen stage.
Wizard: choose the path
During creation, the step Choose interview stages offers:
AI Interview only — candidates go directly to the main interview.
Pre-screening + AI Interview — candidates complete pre-screen first, then the main interview when they pass your rules.
Editor: pre-screen type (draft)
While pre-screen is in draft, you pick the assessment shape:
Position country
Select the position country required for form and resume rules. It affects:
Which visa options appear (visa is hidden if the country has no visa configuration).
Education lists (country-specific where applicable).
Age and Gender — hidden for EU / GDPR countries in the product.
Candidate expectations
Free-text candidate expectations is stored on the pre-screen definition. Confirm internally whether this text is shown to candidates or used only for AI / internal scoring, then document that for your team.
Pre-screening form fields
Each standard field can be off, or on with behaviour such as optional, required, or screening (exact options depend on the field):
Nationality
Residency
Languages
Education
Visa
Age
Gender
Custom fields
Use Add custom field to add questions with your own title. You can edit titles while in draft and remove fields when allowed.
Screening behaviour
When a field is enabled:
Many fields support mark for review vs reject on mismatch (labels on screen).
Match between Resume and Job Position uses score thresholds (accept / reject band).
Technical experience uses a minimum years style rule.
AI resume analysis block
Shown when the type is not form-only:
Technical experience
Match between Resume and Job Position
Education (inferred from resume)
Same enable / review / reject patterns apply where the UI exposes them.
Draft vs published
Most configuration is editable only in draft. After you publish, the UI often shows a read-only summary (cards with type, country, expectations). Plan changes accordingly.
