Choose question sources based on what you want to learn about Candidates. You can combine them in Question settings. Turn on at least one source before you continue.

​
Manual questions

Use manual questions for consistent comparisons. For example: “Tell me about a time you handled a difficult client. What did you do, and what happened?” For each question, describe what you’re looking for, a strong answer, and a weak answer. Set its weight and the number of follow-ups. See Questions.

​
Resume-based questions

Use resume-based questions to explore claims in a Candidate’s work history. For example, ask the AI to focus on project ownership and measurable outcomes. These questions differ between Candidates. Turning this source on makes a resume upload required.
Resume-based interview questions explore a Candidate’s experience during the conversation. AI resume screening evaluates the resume before the interview.

​
Skill-based questions

List the skills that matter for the role in Allowed Skills. Turn on Flexible skills if Candidates should also be able to add their own.
  • If Flexible skills is off and your list has more skills than Max questions, each Candidate selects as many skills as Max questions. For example, with 15 skills and 5 questions, Candidates select 5.
  • If Flexible skills is off and your list has the same number of skills as Max questions or fewer, Candidates get every skill automatically. For example, with 3 skills and 5 questions, Candidates get all 3 and don’t select any.
  • If Flexible skills is on, Candidates always select exactly as many skills as Max questions. They can mix skills from your list, the platform skill list, and their own. For example, with 2 skills and 7 questions, Candidates select 7.
Give each skill instructions that describe the evidence you want. For a customer support role, use an instruction such as: “Assess how the Candidate investigates a software issue and explains the next steps to a frustrated customer.”

Combine sources

Use manual questions for your core requirements, then add resume or skill questions for more detail. Set the source order in Questions. Keep the number of questions and their time limits within your overall interview duration.
