Knockout filters
Auto-reject on deal-breakers
Cannot relocate? Notice period too long? Salary expectation outside your band? No two-wheeler licence for the field role? Set knockout rules on any question and candidates who do not qualify get a polite auto-rejection. Your recruiter pipeline stays clean from the start.
- Yes/No knockouts: "Do you have a two-wheeler licence?" "Are you willing to relocate?"
- Numeric knockouts: "Notice period greater than 60 days" or "CTC above ₹12L"
- Date knockouts: "Available before July 2026"
- Dropdown knockouts: "Location not in [Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore]"

7 question types
Collect exactly what you need to decide
Text, number, yes/no, dropdown, multi-select, date, and file upload. Each question can be required or optional. Each can carry a knockout rule. Build a form that takes under 2 minutes and filters 40-60% of applicants before anyone on your team looks at them.
- Text for open-ended answers (e.g., "Why are you interested in this role?")
- Numeric for salary, notice period, years of experience
- Boolean for hard yes/no qualifiers
- Dropdown and multi-select for location, skills, tools
- Date for availability and start date
- File upload for resume, portfolio, or certificates

Auto-advance
Passing candidates move forward automatically
When a candidate passes all knockout rules, they can auto-advance to the next stage (AI interview, assessment, or manual review) without waiting for a recruiter to click a button. Candidates who fail get a polite rejection message you control.
- Auto-continue: passing candidates move to the next pipeline stage immediately
- Auto-reject: failing candidates receive your custom rejection message
- Manual review option: hold all candidates for recruiter review before advancing
- Knockout results stored per candidate for audit and override

Live pipelineContext handoff
Qualifiers flow into the interview
Whatever the candidate shares in pre-screening (notice period, years of experience, tools they use) flows automatically into the AI interview context. The interviewer does not ask again. The candidate does not repeat. Everyone's time is respected.
- Pre-screening responses attached to the candidate profile
- AI interview receives context so it does not re-ask qualifying questions
- Export raw responses to CSV for offline analysis
- Knockout results visible to hiring managers alongside scorecards

Customer story · Zoko
Zoko uses pre-screening to filter on qualifiers before any interview time is spent - signal in, noise out.
For every job posting we've put up, we get anywhere between 600 to 1,000 applications within a week. Just going through those applications and downloading resumes took days. Most nights I sat late just to get through all of them.
