AI Screening Question Answers
AI Answers to Screening Questions, Tailored to Your CV
Paste your screening questions from Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, or any ATS portal. Karko AI generates concise, role-specific answers using your real experience. Behavioral, situational, yes/no, and free-text questions are all supported.
The Problem
Screening Questions Slow Down Every Application
Most ATS platforms ask 3 to 10 screening questions before you can submit your application. These range from simple eligibility checks ("Are you authorized to work in the US?") to complex behavioral questions ("Tell me about a time you led a cross-functional project").
Writing thoughtful answers takes 10 to 20 minutes per application. If you are applying to 50 jobs, that is 8 to 16 hours just on screening questions. Most job seekers either rush through with generic answers or skip applications that have too many questions.
Both approaches hurt your chances. Generic answers get filtered out. Skipping applications means missing good opportunities. You need answers that are specific, concise, and grounded in your actual experience.

Smart Classification
The Right Length for Every Question Type
Karko AI classifies each question and matches the response length to what recruiters expect. Short questions get short answers. Behavioral questions get structured STAR responses. Nothing is over-explained or padded.
Yes/No and Eligibility
1 to 5 words"Are you authorized to work in the US?"
Direct answer only. No unnecessary elaboration.
Numeric and Factual
Under 20 words"How many years of Python experience do you have?"
States the number or fact with brief context when it strengthens the answer.
Short Answer
50 to 80 words"Why are you interested in this role?"
Connects your specific background to the role in 2 to 3 sentences. Leads with the strongest qualifier.
Behavioral (STAR)
100 to 150 words"Tell me about a time you resolved a conflict on your team."
Compressed STAR format: situation and task in one sentence, action in two sentences, result with a quantified outcome.
Situational
75 to 120 words"How would you handle a tight deadline with incomplete requirements?"
States the approach in 2 to 3 steps and references a similar past success from your CV.
Zero Fabrication
Every Answer Traces Back to Your CV
The AI only references skills, metrics, and qualifications that exist in your uploaded CV. If the question asks about a technology you have not used, the answer will not claim you have. Instead, it highlights transferable experience or a learning trajectory.
ATS Compatible
Built for Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, and More
ATS platforms enforce strict character limits on screening answer fields, typically 500 to 1000 characters per field. Recruiters spend 6 to 10 seconds scanning each answer. Every answer Karko AI generates is optimized for both constraints: short enough to fit the field, focused enough to make an impression in seconds.
The maximum answer length is 150 words (approximately 750 characters). Most answers are significantly shorter. Yes/no questions get 1 to 5 words. Numeric questions get one sentence. Even behavioral STAR answers stay under 150 words by focusing on the result and cutting filler.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of screening questions can Karko AI answer?
Karko AI handles five types: yes/no and eligibility questions (work authorization, relocation), numeric and factual questions (years of experience, salary, start date), short-answer qualitative questions, behavioral questions using the STAR method, and situational or hypothetical questions. Each type gets a response length matched to what recruiters expect.
Will the AI make up experience I do not have?
No. Karko AI only references skills, metrics, and experience that exist in your uploaded CV. If you do not have AWS experience, the answer will not mention AWS. For skills you lack, the AI briefly acknowledges transferable experience instead of fabricating claims.
Do the answers fit within ATS character limits?
Yes. ATS platforms like Workday and Greenhouse typically enforce 500 to 1000 character limits per answer field. Every answer Karko AI generates stays under 750 characters (approximately 150 words). Most answers are significantly shorter based on question type.
How many questions can I answer per session?
You can paste up to 7 screening questions per session. If you have more, the AI will answer the first 7 and prompt you to send the rest in a follow-up message. You get 2 screening sessions per application.
Is this feature available on all plans?
Screening question answers are available on the Max plan ($79.99/month). This plan includes 200 credits per month, all core features (CV, cover letter, emails), and screening question answers with up to 2 sessions per application.
Does it work in languages other than English?
Yes. Karko AI detects the language of your screening questions and responds in the same language. If your questions are in German, the answers will be in German. This works for all supported languages.
