Frequently Asked Questions
Undersetanding AI-Powered recruitment in sales

Who is this sales candidate screening workflow for?
This workflow fits SDR and junior AE hiring where you get more applicants than a manager can reasonably screen live, and the first round is largely repeatable.
When does this approach work best?
It works best when your team is doing continuous backfill, hiring across multiple locations or languages, or running hiring pushes for a new market, territory, or product.
When is this not a good fit?
It is not designed for executive and senior sales leadership hiring where deep deal judgment and long-cycle selling proof dominate the evaluation.
How long does the first-round screening take for candidates?
Typically a short first-round step, length varies by role and scenarios.
How do you keep candidate experience strong at high volume?
Candidates complete the first round without scheduling, with clear instructions and a defined time window. The goal is one clean screening step, not multiple back-and-forth rounds.
What still needs to be handled by humans?
Hiring managers still own the final interview rounds and the final decision. This workflow is designed to reduce repeat screening, not replace judgment.
Does this replace background checks or employment validation?
No. Background checks, fraud checks, reference checks, and past employment validation remain outside this workflow and must be handled through your existing processes.
What if candidates give rehearsed or scripted answers?
Use scenario variation and follow-up prompts, including a revision prompt that requires the candidate to adjust their approach. Scripted candidates usually fail when the situation changes.
