Screening is where recruiters lose their week. ContentFlash AI builds forms that confirm the non-negotiables up front and route only the candidates who clear them into your shortlist.
Right to work, notice period, salary expectation, location and licence requirements are confirmed before anyone reads a CV. Candidates who can't meet a hard requirement find out immediately rather than three interviews in.
A structured intake form for hiring managers captures salary band, seniority, must-haves versus nice-to-haves and interview process before the search starts — so you aren't re-briefing after the first rejected shortlist.
One application link across every advert. Answers route each candidate to the right consultant's desk, the right ATS pipeline and the right follow-up sequence automatically.
Right-to-work confirmation, reference consent and availability are captured in the same structured fields on every application, so your records are consistent rather than scattered across email threads.
Placing a candidate is the visible part of recruiting. Eliminating the other two hundred is the actual job.
For a typical advertised role, the majority of applications fail on something factual and knowable in advance — wrong location, no right to work, salary expectation well above the band, a notice period the client can’t wait out. None of that requires recruiting judgement. It requires four questions being asked before anyone opens a CV.
Instead, most agencies discover it later: partway down a CV, on a first call, or — most expensively — after a client interview.
Every role has a small number of hard requirements. A driving licence. A specific certification. Availability inside a window. Legal right to work in the jurisdiction.
ContentFlash AI generates screening forms that put those first and branch accordingly. Describe the role in plain English and the form asks a warehouse candidate about shift availability and licences while asking a developer about tech stack and notice period — without you maintaining two separate forms.
The candidate benefits too. Someone who can’t meet a hard requirement gets a clear answer in a minute rather than an unanswered application and a fortnight of wondering.
Automated screening is regulated. In most jurisdictions you may filter on genuine, objective job requirements, and you may not make automated decisions on protected characteristics — and some jurisdictions now impose specific obligations on automated employment decision tools, including notice and bias auditing.
Practically: filter on licence, location, right to work and availability. Do not build logic that screens on anything approaching age, health, family status or national origin, even indirectly through a proxy question. If you’re operating at volume or across multiple jurisdictions, have your employment counsel review the criteria before you switch the form on. This is worth getting right rather than fast.
Recruiters talk about candidate quality. A large share of failed searches actually trace back to an incomplete brief — a salary band that was never pinned down, must-haves that turned out to be nice-to-haves, an interview process nobody described until the client wanted to add a stage.
A structured role-brief form fixes this by making completeness a property of the form rather than of the call. The hiring manager can’t submit without a salary band. Must-haves and nice-to-haves are separate fields, so the distinction is explicit before the search begins rather than negotiated after the first shortlist is rejected.
A candidate database is worth what it’s worth today, and it decays fast. Someone who was actively looking six months ago has usually taken a role, changed their salary expectation, or moved.
Re-engagement forms let you refresh the whole pool without consultant hours. A short periodic check — still looking, current situation, updated expectation, open to relocation — updates hundreds of records at once and surfaces the small number who have just re-entered the market, which is exactly the group worth calling.
For roles that attract hundreds of applications, confirm the three hard requirements first and route only clearing candidates into the consultant's review queue.
Send hiring managers a structured brief form instead of a discovery call. Salary band, must-haves, interview stages and start date are captured before the search opens.
Re-confirm rate, availability window and location for your contractor pool before pitching them, so you're not proposing someone who took a contract last week.
Periodically re-check the status of past candidates — still looking, current salary, open to relocation — and refresh your database without a consultant making calls.
