Screening Software – How recruiters and managers can utilize Tengai

Configure Your Screening Interview

Once you log in, it’s easy to set up your automated screening process and customize the candidate’s interview experience with our virtual recruitment assistant, Tengai.

Here are some of the options you can configure:

Interview Language – Choose the languages candidates can use for their screening interview.
Salary Range – Decide whether to share the role’s salary range and invite candidates to comment on it.
Interview Deadline – Set a deadline for when candidates must complete their screening interview.
Qualifying Questions – Create custom questions or select from pre-made ones to identify key competencies and critical qualifications.
Personality Customization – Select which personality traits are most important for the role, forming the basis for the automated personality assessment.

Invite Candidates

Invite all applicants to a screening interview using integration with your recruitment system – or simply paste candidates' email addresses directly into the platform. The software then manages all candidate communication via email and SMS, including interview scheduling and reminders for those who haven’t started or completed their interview.

In the SMS and email, candidates also receive helpful advice on how to successfully complete their screening interview on mobile or desktop, including:

Let our AI Avatar Tengai Guide Your Applicants

In the next step, your candidates interact with our conversational recruitment assistant: the AI avatar Tengai. This digital interview assistant is unique in its ability to mirror human movements and use NLU (Natural Language Understanding) to interpret a wide range of dialects, accents, and speech patterns.

In addition to asking pre-set interview questions, the avatar offers candidates helpful advice and guides them through an interactive, flexible, fun, and gamified interview lasting about 20 minutes. Think of it as a chat-based interview, but with an avatar instead of just text.

Depending on the question, candidates may be asked to respond verbally, select an answer, or type a short text.

The interview concludes with personalized feedback for the candidate.

Automated Screening and Shortlist

As soon as the interview is completed, the automated screening process is finished, and the candidate’s in-depth interview data is scored based on how well their responses match the role’s qualifications.

If you have multiple candidates, they are ranked on an easy-to-navigate shortlist or leaderboard. Here, you can quickly evaluate a large number of applicants—or handpick the top-scoring ones—on equal grounds, completely free from bias.

Note that Tengai is not a mysterious black box. You can choose to listen to each candidate’s answers, compare individual scores, or simply rely on the overview provided by the shortlist.

In short, it’s up to you to make a data-driven decision. How many candidates—and which ones—do you want to move forward to the next step?
