Screener upgrades

We’ve shipped two highly requested screener improvements to help you get higher-quality responses and reduce bias in participant selection.

📽️ Require video screener response for qualification

Video screeners provide a much stronger trust signal than text alone, making it much harder for fraudulent or low-quality participants to slip through. Until now, video responses were optional—participants could qualify even if they skipped the video.

You can now mark video screeners as required.

• Participants who pass your screener must submit a video response to qualify
• Participants who skip the video will not qualify
• Participants are clearly informed when a video response is required
• You can turn this setting on or off even after your project has launched

Available to all Recruit teams with video screening access.

🎲 Randomize screener answer choices

Avoid bias from fixed answer order by randomizing how options appear to participants. You can enable now randomize answers for:

• Single-select questions
• Multi-select questions
• Grid questions

When enabled, answer choices appear in a different order each time a participant opens the screener. For grid questions, rows are randomized while the column order remains fixed. “Other (open text)” options are always pinned at the bottom of the list.
