Configuring AI Interview Questions for Candidate Pre‑Screening

This document explains how to configure, customize, and manage interview questions so the AI agent can run context-aware pre-screening calls, score candidates consistently, and help you quickly identify top performers.

Navigate to the specific job for which you want to configure pre-screening and open the Interview Questions tab.

Here you will see the existing questions associated with this job. From this screen you can generate new questions, customize existing ones, and change their order.

If you want to modify an existing question, locate the question in the list and open it for editing.

Update the wording as needed to match your internal standards, expectations, or hiring bar.

You can also adjust when the question is asked during the screening by changing its position in the list.

Reorder questions to design the conversation flow you want the AI agent to follow.

To add new custom questions, click Add questions.

Choose the Add manually option.

Type your question (for example, “What is your greatest strength?”), then select the appropriate category or scope (e.g., “For this job only” or “For all openings”).

When you are done, click Save changes to add the new question to your interview question set.

You can also add questions from the pre-built library. Open the library view and apply filters such as job role (e.g., Product Manager, Software Engineer, LLM Engineer) or use the search bar to find relevant questions.

When you find a question you want to use, click the plus (+) icon to add it to your main question list.

After adding all desired questions from the library, click Save changes to update the job’s interview questions.

If you want the system to propose additional questions tailored to the role, click Generate questions.
