Screen warehouse and logistics candidates in bulk — without the phone tag
A warehouse role in Melbourne or Western Sydney can pull 100+ applications in 48 hours. Most look identical on paper: a certificate here, a labour-hire stint there. The information you actually need — does the forklift ticket exist, can they genuinely work the 4am shift, will they show up — only comes out when you talk to them. And talking to 100 people is a week you don’t have.
RecruitScreen turns that first conversation into a 5-minute async video task. Every applicant gets the same link, answers the same questions on their phone, and lands in one list you can review between jobs — with licence checks, availability and communication style visible before you dial a single number.
Why warehouse & logistics screening breaks down
Volume without signal
Hundreds of near-identical CVs; the differentiators (tickets, shifts, reliability) never make it onto paper.
No-shows burn the schedule
Phone screens booked across days collapse when candidates take other offers or stop answering.
Client SLAs are brutal
Labour-hire clients expect a shortlist in 24–48 hours. Sequential phone calls can’t hit that.
Example screening questions for warehouse & logistics
Copy these into your first campaign, or save your own set to the question library. Short time limits keep answers sharp and completion high.
- 1. Do you hold a current forklift (LF) licence? Show it to the camera if handy. 30s
- 2. What shifts can you reliably work — days, afternoons, nights, weekends? 45s
- 3. Describe your most recent warehouse or logistics role and what you did day to day. 90s
- 4. Tell us about a time you had to flag a safety issue at work. 60s
- 5. When could you start, and how would you get to the site? 30s
High-volume, ticket-gated, shift-based roles are exactly what async screening was built for: the questions are factual, the answers are short, and the disqualifiers (no licence, wrong availability, no transport) surface in the first 60 seconds of video instead of the fourth phone call.

Common questions
Can candidates show licences or tickets on video? +
Yes — a common pattern is a 30-second question asking candidates to hold their LF licence or white card up to the camera. Your reviewers can pause and zoom.
What if candidates aren’t confident on camera? +
Questions can be answered in one take or re-recorded, and voice-only questions are supported on paid plans. For process roles, most recruiters weight the factual answers over polish.
How fast can we get a shortlist? +
Teams typically send the link the day the ad goes up and review the first responses the same evening. A 24–48 hour client SLA is realistic.
