Section 1: Sourcing & Candidate Discovery

Q: Why am I seeing very few candidates for my job?

  • The Cause: Your filters are likely too strict (e.g., too many "Must-have" skills or a very narrow location).

  • The Fix: Broaden your location radius or move non-essential "Must-have" skills to "Optional."

  • The Strategy: Aim for a baseline of at least 500 candidates from Ninjagraph. Once you have a large pool, use filters to refine the most relevant matches.

Q: Why are some candidate phone numbers or emails missing?

  • The Cause: High-level professional profiles often have private or restricted contact data.

  • The Fix: In the Sourcing tab, toggle the "Compulsory Contact Details" filter if you only want actionable leads with verified phone/email.

  • Pro-Tip: Don’t ignore 70% matches; they often have better contact data available, and the AI interview will uncover skills not explicitly listed on their profile.

Section 2: Outreach & Automation Logic

Q: What is the difference between a Template and a Sequence?

  • Templates: These are your message drafts -the "what" you are saying (e.g., a "Quick Intro" email).

  • Sequences: This is the workflow - the "when" and "how" messages are delivered (e.g., Step 1: Email, Step 2: SMS 5 hours later).

Q: What is the "Default Sequence" and when should I use it?

  • Definition: A pre-validated, multi-step workflow designed as a "plug-and-play" automation. You can go to outreach tab to view it edit and customise as per your needs as well

  • Usage: Use it for high-volume roles to ensure maximum persistence without manual follow-up. It acts as a safety net so no candidate falls through the cracks.

Section 3: AI Screening & Interviews

Q: Can I change the questions the AI asks during the phone screen?

  • Yes: Under the Interview Questions tab (inside a job), you can reorder questions, add technical hurdles, or use the "Generate Question" button for role-specific prompts.

  • Feature Focus: Enable "AI Probing." The AI will automatically ask follow-up questions if a candidate’s answer is too short or vague to ensure better vetting.

Q: What is the "Knowledge Base" for?

  • The Answer: The Knowledge Base serves as the AI's "cheat sheet" for the role. It contains the specific FAQs regarding the job - such as details on company benefits, shift timings, or office culture.

  • The Benefit: By populating this, you enable Maya (the AI) to answer candidate questions accurately during the phone screen, providing a more "human" and informative experience without you needing to jump in.

Section 4: Evaluating Results

Q: How is the "Match Score" calculated?

  • Answer: It is a weighted average based on your Assessment Rubric (Technical Skills, Communication, and Problem Solving). It is generated after the candidate completes the AI interview.

Q: How does the AI handle scheduling conflicts?

  • The Process: The AI bot manages the "calendar dance." If a candidate misses a call or needs to reschedule, the AI automatically sends an SMS and email with a dynamic reschedule link.

  • The Fix: These links sync with your real-time availability, ensuring that the eventual Recruiter Handoff avoids any double-bookings without manual intervention.

Section 5: Status Decoder & Troubleshooting

Q: Why is a candidate "Paused" in the Outreach Table?

  • The Cause: This usually indicates that the candidate's time zone is not currently aligned with the calling window.

  • The Update: Once the first call is successfully picked up and answered, the status will automatically update to "In Process."

Q: Why is a candidate marked as "Non-eligible" for calls?

  • The Cause: This occurs if a candidate has declined the opportunity or if the first call reveals that their requirements are not at par with the job's criteria.

💡 Quick Troubleshooting Checklist

  • Search is empty? Broaden location or remove one "compulsory" filter.

  • Agent isn't calling? Ensure the Sequence is Active and the candidate is in the Outreach tab.

  • AI is saying "I don't know"? Update your Knowledge Base with more company info.
