Adding Opt-Out and Accommodation Paths to Your Screener Workflow

This guide outlines effective practices for building alternative options into your Amplify Screener workflow so candidates can request a non-AI or non-audio version of the screening process. These alternatives support both candidates who require accommodations and those who prefer not to be screened by AI.

Common Reasons to Offer Alternative Screening Options:

• You want to offer a text-based alternative for candidates who can’t complete a voice screener.

• A candidate prefers not to participate in AI-powered screening for personal or privacy reasons.

• A candidate requests an accommodation due to accessibility needs.

• You want to offer a text-based or human-led alternative to your audio screener.

• You want to document and track accommodation or opt-out requests for auditing purposes.

Option 1: Email or Phone Alternative

In your screener invitation email or message, include a clear statement inviting candidates to request an alternative format if needed or preferred:

“If you require an accommodation or would like to complete this screening in an non-AI alternative format, please contact [email/phone] and we’ll provide another option.”

This ensures candidates know an alternative is available before they begin the screening, helping create a more inclusive and transparent hiring experience.

Option 2: Pre-Screen Alternative Choice

Add a single-select question before the screener step that presents a clear choice of options on how to complete the screening. This sets clear expectations and gives candidates a straightforward way to request an alternative..

If the candidate selects an alternative, route them to one of the following:

• A text-based version of the screener (if available)

• A contact form to request accommodations from your recruiting team

• A direct scheduling link to speak with a human recruiter

You can save candidate responses to this question in Bullhorn for future reference and auditing.
