Technology recruiters have used the gut-check method for decades. Hiring managers do not want to receive batches of candidate resumes that have not been properly vetted.
Your clients are demanding higher-level technical screening because of fake candidates. Fake candidates? Yes, they exist! Recruiting teams estimate that 5% of candidates they talk to are fake (and the number is rising daily). Additionally, 15-20% of candidates are dishonest in the way they present themselves, which means it is crucial to validate their technical knowledge.
If you’re like most firms, you trained recruiters to recruit but did not provide deep technical training. Whether you are a hiring manager/HR personnel or the manager at a staffing firm, the need for better technical candidates requires more work on your end. Trying to cram in technical knowledge to properly vet candidates takes years of technical understanding and is a waste of your time in the training process. Your job isn’t to understand technology, it is to know technology candidates.
How does TechScreen help you qualify tech candidates with just-in-time knowledge built for anyone to understand?
TechScreen, powered by AI Verify, makes it possible for recruiters or Corporate Talent Acquisition professionals to quality check and successfully vet tech candidates across various areas of IT. How will they know what to ask and how to decipher answers? Our technology provides tech recruiters with what questions to ask about a specific technology and what should be included in a good response. Our tool turns a non-educated recruiter to an educated one. TechScreen secures more quality candidate placements, which means more revenue for both you and your client. Utilizing AI Verify, each candidate is also evaluated and scored by our artificial intelligence while also providing a detailed write up to share with your client to prove the quality of your technical screening.
Our Technical Knowledge Accelerator platform merges our proven technical interview tool with our TechScreen Certified Recruiter program.
Entering the tool, a recruiter identifies which technology they are interviewing for and a pre-built question list for that technology appears on screen.
How do you know a good technical answer? We provide the information that should be included in acceptable answers!
Additionally, the platform provides the information that should be contained in a good response from the candidate. All of this is done with an information on demand approach to avoid interrupting the recruiter’s flow. Additionally, our latest version comes with Artificial Intelligence, AI Verify. AI Verify evaluates the candidates’ responses from the call and provides a detailed summary and score of the candidate. TechScreen also helps recruiters cultivate “Conversational Competence”, a Pavlovian ability to ask technical qualification questions drawn for their own internal technical insight through our Technical Content Library.
Start with the standard family of questions to learn the tool and get acclimated to asking highly technical questions and tracking their answers. Once you start to really understand how to drive results with the tool, you can further create custom interview questions to dig even deeper into the capabilities of your tech candidates.
In addition to the tool providing quality questions and evaluating quality responses of the candidate, we provide a technical content library that dissects the technologies they are recruiting for in order to teach a person to fish. The problem with most technical training is that it attempts to push a ton of technical content, written primarily for technical professionals, into a short period of time. A few days or weeks later, the recruiter remembers nothing of the training.
The Technical Content Library has been created with the recruiter in mind. It is developed using language they understand and can be revisited as often as the recruiter likes. This provides both a long-term and short-term knowledge bank for your team. Through the training from the content library, your recruiters can be tested and receive the TechScreen Certified Recruiter certification. Want to learn more about the Technical Content Library, we would love to discuss it with you.
AE & Recruiter Hiring Calculator
The biggest difficulty in your hiring of salespeople and recruiters is…when will they be profitable? I am sure you have a standard answer for how long it traditionally takes.
The reality is that technical understanding is a huge part of recruiters being able to find the right candidates and for the sales team to be an educated consultant with their clients.

The Open Seat Index Calculator
The biggest issue internally is how long it takes to fill an open seat. TechScreen is introducing the Open Seat Index™ (OSI), a calculation that measures the true impact of an empty seat of a technical professional.
Recruiters are measured by seats they fill and the time they take to do it, but there is very little discussion as to the real financial consequences of seats going unfilled. They often worry about trivial distractions like Cost per Hire, which focuses on things like the price of search tools, agency fees and job postings.
The OSI sheds light on how expensive it is for companies to have positions remain open for an extended period of time.

TechScreen, powered by AI Verify, is driven by a few key components that are essential for the success of you and your team. We understand that recruiters are not technologists and need to be able to rely on our technical knowledge. With that in mind, we have pioneered the methodology of Dynamic Engagement, which has four primary pillars.
I can customize for my clients exactly the questions they want us to screen for. The clients love the idea that they can have input on how candidates can get screened specifically for their roles, so we don’t waste their time and we increase our value in the eyes of our clients.
I am super impressed with their certified training program. The platform is easy to use and for a small company wanting to build its own little HR department, TechScreen will certainly be an indispensable tool to use when looking for new staff.
TechScreen is an excellent tool to help a Recruiter better evaluate technical talent. An additional benefit to using this platform is the knowledge and enrichment that the Recruiter will receive. They will become more technically knowledgeable, more comfortable discussing technology, and build stronger credibility with the candidates.
This software makes it very easy and quick to qualify candidates for a variety of different skill sets. There are several skills with pre-loaded questions and anticipated answers along with highlighted buzzwords to listen for. This helped tremendously for skills I am unfamiliar with as it kept me engaged with the explanations to determine whether candidates were qualified. In addition, I enjoyed the ability to rank responses. Candidates who used examples to back their answers can be rewarded with a higher score.
TechScreen is easy to use. It satisfies our compliance with clients and we can close a candidate on a single call instead of sending an assessment to the candidate's email.
The software was the best setup I've experienced. It was intuitive and walked me through each step. I was never left wondering what to do next or how to accomplish something. I had very few questions about the system because it was built with a genius mindset of ease of use and complete functionality. I was able to quickly set up the type of position I was hiring for and easily select from the questions pertaining to that job. The system is super smart and separates questions into categories of level of difficulty because you may not be hiring an engineer, maybe just an entry level tech support position. The software has it all for you built right in, so you never have to create your own questions.
Great tool for my recruiting teams to qualify the technical skills of prospective candidates. It is low cost compared to other testing tools Great customer support - they partner with you to learn your team’s needs and work to meet them. Easy to use and train on - doesn't slow down my recruiters and increases the time to submit.
