Screening

Apply your rubric before recruiter review

HireBoundless sends async questions for the role, scores responses against your criteria, and highlights candidates above the threshold. Your team reviews evaluated results rather than raw applications.

How screening works

Consistent scoring at the funnel entrance

Every candidate gets the same questions and rubric, regardless of which recruiter handles the inbox.

1
Define your rubric once
Choose questions and scoring criteria for each role. HireBoundless offers a starting set from the brief, which you can edit to fit your hiring bar.
2
Agent sends and scores
Once a sourced candidate is approved, the agent sends the async screen. Responses return with rubric scores within hours.
3
Review scores, not raw responses
Review each score breakdown in your dashboard and open the raw response when needed. Advance candidates with one click, then move them to scheduling.
Screening capabilities

What the agent handles

Role-level rubrics

Set criteria for technical depth, communication, domain fit, and motivation. Choose the weights, and the agent applies them consistently.

Async question delivery

Candidates receive mobile-friendly questions by email. Set the response window by role, letting candidates answer when convenient.

Response scoring

Each response gets a 1-10 score for every dimension. A weighted overall score appears at a glance in the dashboard.

Pipeline analytics

Track pass rates by role, source-level average scores, and completion rates. Find rubric issues before they affect the funnel.

Threshold gating

Candidates above the threshold reach recruiter review. Those below it receive an automatic, courteous decline, closing the loop without recruiter effort.

ATS sync

Pass or fail decisions and score summaries sync to your ATS. HireBoundless updates Greenhouse, Lever, or Ashby without manual entry.
