When Qualifi makes sense
You want recruiter-prepared prompts in a repeatable format
Qualifi lets recruiters record prompts or use text-to-voice, then send the same one-way interview to many candidates. Recorded prompts can keep a human voice in the experience without putting a recruiter on every call.
You want a broader interview suite
Qualifi offers SMS screening, candidate assessments, next-round scheduling, and live video interviewing, and advertises more than 50 ATS integrations. Screened does not try to be a general interview suite.
Why teams choose Screened
Screened adds two-way probing and a resume-evaluation stage. Ryan can ask for specifics, follow the answer, and return both resume and interview evidence before a recruiter joins the process.
How to choose between Screened and Qualifi
Should the screen be one-way or conversational?
Qualifi uses recruiter-prepared prompts in a pre-set one-way format. Screened uses a two-way AI interviewer that can ask a follow-up and answer candidate questions from the configured context.
Should candidates start immediately or book a time?
Qualifi's one-way voice screen is completed on demand. Screened asks candidates to select a time for a scheduled phone call, with a web-call option when needed.
Should live human interviews belong in the same suite?
Qualifi includes scheduling and native live human video tools. Screened schedules its own AI screening call and does not try to replace a broader interview suite.
