What is Screening Bot?

The Screening Bot automates pre-screening by allowing candidates to take assessments after applying for a job, directly from your Career Site or Candidate Portal. It automatically evaluates candidate responses, ensuring they are stored in context and easily accessible for review.


How Does Screening Bot Help Recruiters?

    Works directly within Zoho Recruit’s Candidate Portal and Career Site, allowing candidates to take assessments effortlessly.
  • Automated Disqualification
    Uses Qualifier Questions to filter out unqualified candidates instantly.

Sending Bot Assessments via Email

The Screening Bot can be sent to candidates via email, allowing them to complete their assessments at their convenience using the Send Assessment - Screening Bot email template. Once candidates receive the email, they can click the provided link, agree to the terms, and begin their screening test.
