How Do I Get Started with JobTarget's Video Screener?

Frequently Asked Questions: JobTarget Video Screener

Q: What is JobTarget's Video Screener? Video Screener automates your first-round screening process so you are only spending time engaging with interested candidates. It works by sending applicants a video interview invitation after they submit an Easy Apply or JobTarget Hosted Apply application.

Q: What do I need before using Video Screener? Easy Apply or JobTarget Hosted Apply must be enabled for your jobs before Video Screener can be used. Your Relationship Manager can confirm whether Easy Apply is active on your account.

Q: How do I create a questionnaire? Open the Video Screener app from your JobTarget dashboard and click "Create Questionnaire." You can build a questionnaire from scratch by giving it a title, selecting an answer format (audio only, or video and audio), and adding up to 8 questions. The JobTarget team has also prepared templates you can use as a starting point.

Q: How do I attach a questionnaire to a job? After creating a questionnaire, click "Add to Job" and select one or more jobs from the popup. You can also manage questionnaire assignments from the Jobs tab inside the Video Screener app. As a best practice, attach your questionnaire to a job before posting it to any job boards so all candidates are served the Video Screener.

Q: Can I invite a candidate to complete a video interview outside of the standard application process? Yes. Use the "Invite Applicant" button to send an email invitation to an external candidate. Select a job to attach the candidate to (that job must already have a questionnaire assigned), enter the candidate's details, and send. This keeps all video interview screenings in one place.

Q: How do I view completed interviews? Inside the Video Screener app, go to the Screeners tab. Select a job and a date range to view the video interviews submitted for that role.

Q: What does the candidate experience look like? After submitting an Easy Apply or JobTarget Hosted Apply application, candidates receive an email from JobTarget inviting them to complete the first-round screening. The email includes your job details and a link to a landing page where they can review tips, watch an explainer video, and begin the interview. Each question is displayed and read aloud. Candidates have up to 2 minutes to respond and can retry each question up to 3 times. Once all questions are answered, they see a confirmation screen.

Q: Where can I see which jobs have a questionnaire attached? Go to the Jobs tab inside the Video Screener app. Filter by open or closed jobs and advertising status to see which questionnaire is active for each job, or to attach or update a questionnaire.
