Can I set expected answers for the questions in the AI phone screener?

Yes. While creating each question, you can set an "expected answer" which the AI uses as a benchmark for scoring.

You can also mark expected answers as either "Must Have" or "Nice to Have" to prioritize your requirements. If a candidate fails to meet even one Must Have, they will automatically be marked as Not Qualified, regardless of their performance on other questions.

This helps ensure that only candidates who meet your essential criteria move forward, saving time and improving screening accuracy.
