Web chat is always on, and applicants get the link by email after they apply. You can add SMS or WhatsApp, one at a time, sent from your workspace's number. Each question has a type, such as Yes or no or One choice, and an importance of High, Medium or Low. Screening runs in English.

Auto-advance
Each screening gets a score out of 100. With Auto-advance on, candidates at or above your bar move to the next stage, and everyone else waits for you in Needs review. A suggested starting bar for Screen is 75.
To turn it on, you confirm that you're choosing AI-assisted screening. Tandem never rejects a candidate.
