Amplify Screen: Increased Silence Detection Threshold
Amplify Screen
What's new?
Amplify Screen now waits 8 seconds of continuous silence before advancing to the next question, up from 6 seconds. This change applies automatically to all voice screening sessions.
Why does it matter?
The previous threshold sometimes cut candidates off mid-thought, particularly those who needed a moment to gather their response or were screening in a second language. This update gives candidates a more natural, comfortable experience and helps ensure screenings reflect their actual qualifications.
How do I enable this?
This update is automatically available for all customers using the Amplify Screener with Bullhorn Automation Amplify Edition. No additional configuration is required.
This is part of the BHA 2026.4.2 release. Click here for release calendar details.
