## What Tandem does

Tandem reads what you share: your answers in the chat, your work history and anything else you send. It scores how well your experience fits the role.

If the role includes screening questions or an AI interview, your answers are scored too, with a short summary for the hiring team. Some employers let a strong score move you to the next step without waiting. A lower score never turns you down on its own. A person reviews your application.

## Who decides

A person on the employer's hiring team always makes the decision. The score helps them review your application. It is not the decision.

## What you can ask for

- **How you were scored.** The hiring team will walk you through the main reasons.
- **A second look.** Someone on the hiring team will go over your application, or the decision, again.
- **An accommodation.** If you need an adjustment to apply or to interview.

Email the employer at the address on the job posting. It's on your application page too. Say which job you applied for and what you're asking for. You'll hear back within 30 days.
