Choose the right format for your screening questions

Recorded answers, AI phone screens, and recruiter calls give you different ways to learn about a candidate. The key difference here is whether you can ask a follow-up.

Common questions

Yes. Add your existing screening questions, use suggestions based on the job description, or combine both. Review the questions before inviting candidates.

Include the tools, scale, or responsibilities that matter for the role. For example: “We sell contracts worth about $50,000. Tell me about a deal of similar size.” Ask about the candidate’s own experience, rather than your internal process.

Ryan can ask for clarification or more detail. Review the transcript and recording if an answer or assessment is unclear, especially for specialist topics. Your hiring manager can follow up in the next interview.

Yes. Each role has its own questions. Add up to three custom questions alongside the standard interview, such as a sales example for an account executive or a difficult customer situation for a support role.

Choose up to three custom questions that add something the standard interview does not cover. Keep each question focused on one topic, so candidates have time to give a useful example.

Screened assesses relevant experience and the content of the answers against your role requirements. If an accent or transcription issue makes an answer unclear, review the recording and follow up with the candidate.
