# Job board intro screening interviews The intro screening interview is what happens after a candidate applies to a real job on the Intervieux job board. It's a live AI interview, configured by that specific employer, that counts as an actual step in their hiring process, not a practice session. It's the one Intervieux interview type that isn't practice at all. The employer set the questions and scoring rubric for the role, and the result feeds straight into how that candidate's application gets handled. ## What it is Every job posted on the Intervieux job board can have its own intro screening interview attached, built by the employer through AI-drafted job setup, which generates scoring traits, a rubric, and the actual questions for that role. When a candidate applies with one click, the screening interview that runs is that employer's interview, not a generic Intervieux question set. It's one of the seven named interview types in the product and runs on its own dedicated conversational voice agent, but unlike the other six, a candidate doesn't choose the personality or style. The employer's configuration decides what gets asked. ## How it works 1. **An employer sets up the role** — The employer configures the screening interview for a job posting through AI-drafted job setup, generating scoring traits, a rubric, and questions. 2. **A candidate applies** — One-click apply on the job board triggers the live screening interview tied to that specific posting. 3. **The AI conducts the real interview** — The dedicated voice agent asks the employer's questions and holds the conversation, the same way any Intervieux interview runs, but this one is real. 4. **The screening rules engine evaluates it** — As soon as the interview finishes, the employer's rules engine runs automatically, applying tags, stage changes, priority, flags, or notifications based on how the candidate scored. 5. **The candidate gets application insights** — The candidate receives three AI improvement tips drawn from their actual screening interview, and their fit trajectory for that application updates. ## The employer's questions, not a candidate's choice Every other interview type on Intervieux lets a candidate pick the interview style and interviewer personality before starting. This one doesn't, because the employer already configured the rubric and questions for the role being applied to, and that configuration is what actually gets asked. ## Feeds straight into a real pipeline The moment a screening interview completes, the employer's screening rules engine evaluates it automatically against conditions the employer set, and can tag the application, move its pipeline stage, raise its priority, or flag it for a recruiter, all without anyone manually reviewing it first. ## The candidate gets something back too This isn't a one-way evaluation. A candidate who completes a screening interview gets three AI-generated improvement tips based on that specific conversation, and can watch their fit score for that application move over time. ## What the rules engine can see, and where the application ends up An employer's rules can check against all five AI score dimensions, a challenge score if one was run, experience level, salary estimates, key skills, and the strengths and weaknesses the AI noted, combined with up to fourteen operators and nested logic across five levels and twenty-five conditions. That's what makes it possible for one completed screening interview to automatically move a strong candidate straight to a qualified stage while a weaker one stays at screening, without anyone touching the pipeline by hand. From there the application sits inside a pipeline that runs through seven stages from new through hired or rejected, each customizable by the employer and tracked with a full event timeline, and the screening interview is usually the event that triggers its first real movement through that pipeline rather than a form sitting untouched until a recruiter opens it. ## Who it's for This interview happens to any candidate who applies to a job posted on the Intervieux job board with a screening interview attached. On the employer side, it's built for anyone hiring through Intervieux who wants a consistent, rubric-based first-round conversation running automatically for every applicant, without a recruiter conducting each one by hand. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is the job board intro screening interview practice, or does it count for real? It counts for real. It's the actual first-round interview step for that specific job posting, configured by the employer, and the result feeds into their hiring pipeline. ### Can I choose the interviewer personality for a job board screening interview? No. Unlike Intervieux's other interview types, the employer's configuration sets the questions and rubric for a screening interview, so the candidate doesn't choose the style or personality. ### What happens to my answers after a screening interview finishes? The employer's screening rules engine evaluates the completed interview automatically, which can tag the application, change its pipeline stage, raise its priority, or notify the employer, based on rules the employer set in advance. ### Do I get any feedback from a job board screening interview? Yes. Candidates receive three AI-generated improvement tips based on that specific interview, and can track how their fit score for that application changes over time. ## Related pages - [Interviews based on any job description](/features/job-description-interviews) - [Application fit trajectory](/features/fit-trajectory) - [AI application insights](/features/application-insights) - [Automated screening rules engine](/features/screening-rules) - [Browse open roles](/jobs) ## Apply for a real job and take the actual screening interview Browse open roles on the Intervieux job board and apply with one click.
