💡 5-minute AI implementation

You can increase the candidate application quality by asking these two questions:

1. What do your next 3 years look like?

2. Why did you choose to apply to us over our competition?

You get the responses and analyze the responses with AI to cut bias.

These questions can also be created using AI (prompt in section below)
