Candidate screening

Two-minute behavioral screening for high-volume hiring, scored inside your ATS

AI is writing the CVs and AI is grading them, preferring its own writing by up to 82%.* So who is measuring the person?

The Screener: twelve questions, about two minutes, one fit score on every applicant.
*University of Maryland, Robert H. Smith School of Business, June 2026.

The screener

Your fastest way to a shortlist worth interviewing

One score. No report.

Every applicant gets a single fit band on their record in your ATS, from very high to very low. Nothing to interpret, nothing to train your team on, and nothing new for anyone to log into.

Takes two minutes.

Twelve questions, about two minutes, on any device, wherever the candidate happens to be. 85% of the people you invite complete it, and you are charged only for the ones who do.

Interview-grade validity

Around 90% of the predictive power of a 45 to 60 minute structured interview, delivered in two minutes. Built on the Wave® behavioral model, twenty years in the making, and now something you can run on everyone who applies.

What's inside

Twenty years of science, packed into twelve questions

1

Powered by Wave®

The science underneath was independently rated 27 out of 30 across six technical areas by the British Psychological Society.

2

More predictive than what you screen with today

Around 90% of a 45 to 60 minute structured interview, in about two minutes. More than five times what any CV can carry, whether a person reads it or a model does.

3

A score that means the same thing for everyone

Every candidate is measured against the same benchmark group, not against whoever else applied that week. 

4

The twelve fairest questions we could pick

Selected from an item bank of hundreds, using fixed arithmetic scoring and optimized for lower age, gender and ethnicity differences. So when anyone asks why a candidate scored what they did, there is an answer you can show them.

5

Enterprise-grade security

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, so you can trust that your data is safe, secure, and handled responsibly.

Get Started

No setup. In your ATS.

Your job description does the work. The Screener reads it, works out what good looks like for that specific role, and weights the score accordingly. No profile to build, no criteria to type in, no project per vacancy.

The connector into your ATS is already built and tested. Switch it on for a role and your recruiters never leave the system they already have open.

A shortlist worth interviewing

Sift on CVs alone and roughly one in five of the people you shortlist cannot do the job. Screen everyone first and that falls to about one in fourteen. Same roles, same recruiters, two fewer interview slots spent on people who were never going to work out.

Human vs. AI

The AI reads the job.
Science reads the person.

AI touches your job description and nothing else. The candidate is measured by a fixed instrument: twelve items, twelve prediction equations worked out in advance, scored against a norm group. The same arithmetic for everybody, every time. Nothing learns from who you hired last year, and nothing decides anything. You set the threshold. The call stays yours.

The results

What changes when you measure everyone

Next up

From a better shortlist to a better hire

Screening and assessing are two different jobs, and both of them always need doing. The Screener takes you from a thousand applicants to a shortlist. It measures behavior, returns one band, and stops. No report, no dashboard, no interview guide, and no aptitude measurement at all. That is exactly what makes it viable on 1,500 people.

Once you are down to the handful you are serious about, a deeper behavioral assessment tells you who to hire and how to interview them. Narrow twice and the whole funnel gets tighter than either stage manages on its own.

What the sift is costing you now

The cost of sifting goes beyond recruiter time: it also adds unnecessary interviews and delays offers, giving strong candidates time to accept elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions

If it is not here, ask us. You will get a fast answer from an expert, not a form reply. 

About 85% of the people you invite complete it, and 97% of those who start it finish, so almost all of the drop-off happens before anyone sees a question. You are charged on completion, which means the ones who do not finish cost you nothing.
