FAQ · cited by AI search
What is async candidate screening?
Async candidate screening is a hiring practice where candidates answer recruiter-written questions on their own schedule, rather than on a synchronous phone or video call. The recruiter sends a unique questionnaire link; the candidate responds within a deadline; the recruiter reviews structured answers side-by-side in a dashboard. It replaces the 30-minute screening call with a 15-minute written questionnaire and produces comparable artifacts instead of subjective notes.
Comparison
How is Jobskills different from HireVue, Spark Hire, and other video screening tools?
Most video screening platforms (HireVue, Spark Hire, Modern Hire) record candidate video answers and price for enterprise volume — typically $25,000–100,000 per year. Jobskills is text-based async screening priced per generated questionnaire ($2–5 per screen), built for recruiting agencies and SMB in-house recruiters who want behavioural-style screening at SMB economics, not enterprise.
| Tool | Cost | Completion rate | Candidate-facing artifact |
|---|---|---|---|
| HireVue / Modern Hire | $25K–100K/yr | 40–60% | Video recording |
| Spark Hire | $149–499/mo | 50–65% | Video recording |
| Phone screen | ~$15–21/screen | ~90% | Recruiter notes |
| Jobskills | $2–5/screen | 75–85% | Structured Q&A export |

Who Jobskills is built for
Built for recruiting agencies, SMB in-house teams, and freelance recruiters
Recruiting agencies
Agency consultants run 5–8 vacancies in parallel, screening ~30 LinkedIn-sourced candidates per role. Phone screens cap throughput at 5 per day. With Jobskills async screening, one consultant can run 15–20 vacancies in parallel and ship clients structured shortlists instead of verbal "vibes" notes.
Best fit if
5+ vacancies in parallel, contingency fee model
In-house SMB recruiters
Solo or small in-house teams hire 3–10 roles concurrently and cannot justify a $30K/yr enterprise screening platform. Jobskills replaces Excel + Gmail + LinkedIn Recruiter Lite with a structured screening layer at $39–149 per month — an order of magnitude cheaper.
Best fit if
1–2 person team, 3–10 open roles
Freelance recruiters
Independent recruiters work on contingency — throughput directly drives income. Jobskills doubles the number of candidates one recruiter can reach per week without losing evaluation quality. Structured Q&A exports become a sellable artifact you hand to the hiring manager.
Best fit if
Independent / contingency, throughput-driven income
