  1. What is 'Boolean search' in the context of recruiting, and on which platforms is it most commonly used?

    Answer: A structured search technique using operators (AND, OR, NOT) to narrow or expand candidate searches; used on LinkedIn, Google X-Ray, and ATS platforms

    Boolean search operators allow recruiters to construct precise, targeted queries that surface the most relevant candidate profiles from large databases or search engines.

  2. What is 'Google X-Ray searching' in talent sourcing?

    Answer: Leveraging Google search operators to find public profiles on LinkedIn, GitHub, and other sites without paid tools

    X-Ray searching uses Google's site: operator (e.g., site:linkedin.com/in) to index public profiles on specific platforms, giving recruiters free access to candidate data without requiring paid sourcing tools.

  3. A recruiter notices that the company's ATS auto-rejects candidates who have employment gaps greater than 6 months. What is the PRIMARY concern with this setting?

    Answer: It may create disparate impact against protected groups such as caregivers, disabled individuals, or those affected by layoffs, raising EEO compliance concerns

    Automated filters that reject candidates based on employment gaps can disproportionately screen out protected groups, creating potential EEOC liability under Title VII and the ADA.

  4. What distinguishes a one-way (asynchronous) video interview from a live video interview in the screening process?

    Answer: One-way interviews allow candidates to record responses to preset questions on their own schedule; live interviews involve real-time interaction between recruiter and candidate

    Asynchronous video interviews increase recruiter efficiency by enabling candidates to respond at their convenience and allowing hiring teams to review responses at scale before advancing finalists to live stages.

  5. When an AI-powered resume screening tool is found to have a statistically lower pass-through rate for female candidates, what should a CRP-certified recruiter do?

    Answer: Immediately audit the tool for bias, suspend its use if adverse impact is confirmed, and report findings to legal and HR leadership

    Under EEOC guidance and the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures, any selection tool demonstrating adverse impact must be audited and validated; continuing to use a biased tool creates legal liability.

  6. What is the key advantage of integrating an HRIS (Human Resources Information System) with your ATS?

    Answer: It eliminates manual data re-entry by automatically transferring new hire data from the ATS into the HRIS at the point of offer acceptance

    ATS-HRIS integration creates a seamless handoff from recruiting to onboarding by auto-populating new hire records, reducing administrative errors and accelerating the time-to-productive for new employees.
