Amplify Screening Use Cases

Amplify Screening is transforming how staffing firms connect with candidates by automating early interactions and delivering consistent, personalized experiences.

Below are three high-impact use cases that showcase how Amplify Screening can elevate your candidate engagement, plus a few tips to help you get the most from each approach.

Use Case 1: Quickly Engage Web Applicants

Web applications are one of the most common ways candidates enter your system, but too often they end up in a void. Amplify Screening helps fix that.

The Challenge

Many web applicants receive little or no follow-up, leading to missed opportunities and a poor candidate experience.

The Solution

Use Amplify Screening to automatically engage web applicants as soon as they apply. This ensures timely communication, gathers essential details, and sets the tone for a professional, responsive candidate journey.

How to Make it Even Better

  • Design a complete post-screening flow. Guide candidates to their next step after screening, whether that’s scheduling an interview or providing more information about your firm.

  • Focus on quality leads. Configure alerts to notify recruiters only when applicants meet specific criteria, so time is spent where it matters most.

  • Engage across channels. Combine email, SMS, and chat to boost response rates and keep candidates connected.

Use Case 2: Screen AI-Matched Candidates

The Match Candidates automation step, powered by Bullhorn Matching Engine, helps you find the best candidates for open roles quickly and efficiently — especially when your data is well structured.

The Challenge

Identifying and engaging qualified candidates can be time-consuming, particularly when managing a large talent pool.

The Solution

Start by using Bullhorn’s AI Matching model to surface top candidates for the job. Once you’ve identified the best matches, add them to a Bullhorn Automation list and launch an Amplify Screening to qualify them automatically through personalized, AI-driven questions.

How to Make it Even Better

  • Prioritize recent engagement. Target candidates who’ve interacted with your firm recently to improve response and placement rates.

  • Differentiate submission sources. Clearly tag AI-matched submissions so you can measure effectiveness and optimize your matching strategy.

  • Keep the conversation going. Set up automated reminders and follow-ups to maintain candidate interest throughout the process.

Use Case 3: Manually Initiate Screening for Specific Candidates

Sometimes recruiters need to take the lead. Amplify Screening gives them the flexibility to do just that while still benefiting from automation.

The Challenge

Recruiters often need a quick, consistent way to screen candidates they’ve sourced through different channels.

The Solution

Use specific list criteria in your Send Screener Engagement automation to let recruiters manually trigger the screener for any candidate. For example, you can use a particular submission status or note action as the trigger.

This approach gives recruiters control over when and how screening is initiated while maintaining a consistent, standardized evaluation process across your team.

How to Make It Even Better

  • Keep triggers consistent. Once you’ve defined your manual trigger method (for example, a specific status or note type), document it in your team workflow guide so everyone follows the same process.

  • Walk in the candidate’s shoes. Encourage recruiters to complete a test screening themselves so they can better describe the experience and address candidate questions.

  • Stay connected. As with other use cases, use multi-channel follow-ups to keep candidates informed and engaged.
