Candidate pre-screening software before AI interviews
Hiriq separates quick qualification from deeper AI interviews, so recruiters can confirm practical fit before spending time on longer interview evidence.
Useful for recruiters, founders, agencies, and hiring teams that need faster early qualification across remote or regional candidate pools.
Automation route
Repeatable steps with recruiter control.
Define practical qualification questions for the role.
Invite applicants into a short pre-screening step.
Collect structured answers before live recruiter calls.
Review fit signals and decide who should enter AI interviews or human interviews.
Before the full interview
Use this page when the buyer needs quick qualification, not a full interview.
Pre-screening is intentionally narrower than Hiriq AI Interviews. It helps recruiters confirm practical fit early so the longer live AI interview can focus on technical, behavioral, and scenario evidence.
Practical fit
Ask about availability, requirements, work setup, and baseline experience.
Qualified next step
Decide who should move into AI interviews or recruiter conversations.
Compact summary
Give recruiters a short evidence snapshot before spending live time.
