Every completed screening lands in the review queue at Candidates → Screening, scored 0–100 with a recommendation attached. This guide covers how to read a result, when to trust the score, and what to do when it's borderline — or missing.
| Tab | What's in it |
|---|---|
| Pending | Scored responses waiting for your decision |
| Declined | Responses you declined — they stay reviewable, and you can change your mind with Override: Qualify |
Nothing lands in Declined on its own. Every response there is a recruiter decision, and it stays open in case you want to revisit it.
A response where a must-know answer didn't match your expected values — or was skipped, shown as — not answered — carries a red Didn't meet must-knows flag, with the exact question that fired. The response is still scored as normal, and the candidate is never told they failed; they get a neutral "our recruiter will review your answers" close.
You read the flag and decide: Qualify or Decline. Flagged responses never auto-advance, whatever their score — flags always get human eyes.
| Score | Recommendation | Suggested action |
|---|---|---|
| ≥ 70 | Advance | Move forward — check any listed concerns first |
| 50–69 | Review | Read the answers; often one probe response decides it |
| < 50 | Reject | Critical mismatches — skim before declining |
For the 50–69 band:
If the AI couldn't produce a valid score you'll see an amber scoring unavailable panel instead of a real number — never a silent fake score. From there you can:
The queue learns from your decisions. When you decline 3 or more responses on the same role's questionnaire within 30 days, PlacementFlow analyzes the pattern — which must-knows keep flagging, what keeps slipping through — and regenerates the screening questions so the same mismatch surfaces earlier and more clearly.
