Send your questions. Candidates reply by video, audio, or text—directly in their browser. Review their answers and decide who to interview.
The first round

First-round screening takes time.

Scheduling introductory calls, asking the same questions, and keeping track of answers can fill your calendar before you have a shortlist.

What changes

What an asynchronous first round gives you

Each benefit comes from one change: candidates answer before you book a call.
