Parallel Fair Screen System

The Parallel Fair Screen System is Intevie's method for letting many candidates complete the same structured first screen while keeping hiring decisions with people.

Method

One score guide

A hiring team defines the role, questions, and evaluation criteria before candidates begin. That gives every applicant the same starting point.

  • The same questions are used for the same role.
  • The score guide is visible to the hiring team.
  • Recruiters can review the underlying transcript and recording.

Parallel intake

Many candidates can answer without waiting

Candidates do not need a recruiter calendar slot before they can begin. The screen can happen while the hiring team focuses on review and follow-up.

  • Useful when applicant volume arrives faster than recruiters can call.
  • Candidates can complete the screen outside business hours.
  • Recruiters review completed screens when ready.

Decision control

People decide who moves forward

The system helps organize candidate evidence, but it does not make final hiring choices or reject candidates by itself.

  • Scores support review rather than replace judgment.
  • Teams can inspect the original answer evidence.
  • Hiring managers and recruiters keep the final say.

Why call it parallel?

Because many candidates can complete the same structured screen without waiting for one recruiter to call each person in sequence.

Why call it fair?

Because candidates for the same role get the same core questions and are reviewed against the same score guide. Fairness still requires human oversight and responsible hiring practice.

How we calculate

Hours saved each year:

20 calls x 15 min/call = 5 hrs/week x 52 weeks = 260 hrs/year

Cost saved each year:

260 hrs x $85/hr (average team cost) = $22,100/year
