Screening

Focus on Qualified Applicants

Job-Specific Screening Questions

We specialize in powerful, yet easy-to-use screening tools. Our customizable “COREquisites” questionnaire quickly determines whether applicants meet basic requirements for a specific job, which helps higher education HR and search committees use their time more efficiently.

COREquisites Question Library

Use our 50+ Question Library to start building your questionnaire, modify and weight questions as needed, and save them for later reuse.

Dynamic Screening

As your list of applicants grows, you can quickly find those who have specialized skills. Our tools help you focus your resources to create a shortlist of the most qualified applicants.

Rule-Based Ranking

Applicants are sorted based on their COREquisites scores – not simply on keyword matching. You can assign weights to each skill, and, if needed, change them later to suit your requirements.

Searchable Applicant Database

Find resumes in the Interview Exchange Applicant Tracking System database in seconds using keywords. With the “Invite” tool, you can send current jobs to candidates who applied in the past, enhancing employer branding through a proactive approach.

The system supports applicant resumes in multiple formats including Word (.doc, .docx), PDF and plain text. All resumes are available to your HR and search committee in one convenient location. The system ensures that you get the most value from your job-posting investment.

Collaboration and Messaging Tools

Interact and collaborate online using our suite of tools. Your entire team can easily add notes and comments, and make decisions on moving applicants through the hiring process. Members can work at their convenience while the system maintains an audit trail.

Configurable Alerts

Use our email notification system to receive alerts when qualified applicants apply online. You can configure notifications to be instant, daily, or weekly.
