Hiring Workflow, Step by Step

Every stage of this hire can run in SkillSauce on one board, from the first applicant to the offer. The level sections below add the detail for junior (0-3 years), mid-level (3-6 years) and senior (6+ years) hires.

  1. 1

    Open a Job Profile for the role

    Create a Job Profile for the role: one Kanban board, free on every plan, that holds every candidate, test and interview for this hire. Write the job description with the free Job Description Generator, or start from the template in your level below.

  2. 2

    Fill the candidate pool

    Publish the job on your Career Page and share the link on LinkedIn, X and job boards, so every applicant lands on the board. To reach people who have not applied, search Candidate Lookup by domain and seniority, then narrow by industry, company and location. You can also import LinkedIn profiles by URL, upload resumes in bulk or import a CSV.

  3. 3

    Shortlist the strongest resumes

    Move applicants into the Resume Shortlister: TESSA AI scores every resume against the Job Profile and shows its reasoning, so you can see why each candidate made the cut before you send a single test.

  4. 4

    Test the skills the role needs

    Send the shortlist a Non-IT assessment on Radiologic Technology and Patient Care Fundamentals, plus a Psychometric assessment for personality and work style. Build it from the Question Library of 320,000+ questions, or let TESSA AI generate it when this exact role is missing, and keep AI proctoring on for remote candidates.

  5. 5

    Interview with TESSA AI

    Invite the candidates who pass to a TESSA AI interview on the role itself, in any of 100+ languages. Add a Culture Fit round to see how they work with a team like yours, and a Behavioural round on how they handle patients, families and pressure.

  6. 6

    Meet the shortlist

    Schedule the panel or case interview on Zoom or Google Meet with Google Calendar invites, and keep candidates posted on WhatsApp or email.

  7. 7

    Decide together and make the offer

    Compare finalists on their Reports: scored results for each test and AI interview, plus the proctoring activity of proctored tests. Collect your hiring team’s feedback on each candidate, then make the offer with the email templates in your level below.

Verified Domain Questions (Junior Tier)

5 verified Easy domain evaluation questions extracted directly from the SkillSauce question bank.

Q1

You arrive for a portable AP chest. The wristband reads a different medical record number than the order and the porter is standing in the doorway saying the ward is waiting. Two identifiers still do not match. What do you do next?

Easy
  • aExpose now using the room number as the second identifier so the porter can leave.
  • bPhotograph both the wristband and the order, send them with the image, and let PACS sort identity later.
  • cDo not expose. Re-identify at the bedside, hold the exam, and resolve the mismatch with the ordering ward before any radiation.Correct
  • dAsk the porter which name is correct, change the accession to match the wristband, and expose.

Explanation: c is correct: two-identifier failure is a hard stop; a waiting porter does not authorize exposure. a fails because room number is not a patient identifier and time pressure is not a justification. b fails because attaching photos does not create a legal identity match and still irradiates the wrong or unverified person. d fails because a porter cannot adjudicate identity and changing the accession to force a match conceals the error.

Why it matters: Evaluates practical domain proficiency in Radiologic Technology for Radiologic Technologist at the junior experience tier.

Q2

ALARA for occupational and patient protection is implemented through which three cardinal controls, in the relationship that actually reduces dose?

Easy
  • aMinimize time in the beam or scatter field, maximize distance from the source, and use shielding when it does not defeat the exam.Correct
  • bMaximize kVp on every study, stand beside the tube housing, and skip shielding if the exposure is under 1 second.
  • cDouble mAs to shorten time, stand at 0.3 m behind the patient, and rely on the collimator as the only shield.
  • dWear a dosimeter so you may remain in the primary beam, then add time because the badge will record it.

Explanation: a is correct: time, distance, and shielding are the named ALARA triad, applied so anatomy is still diagnostic. b fails: high kVp is a technique tool, not a substitute for the triad, and standing at the tube plus skipping shielding increases dose. c fails: raising mAs increases patient dose, 0.3 m is still in intense scatter, and the collimator does not protect staff. d fails: a dosimeter is a monitor, not a permit to occupy the primary beam.

Why it matters: Evaluates practical domain proficiency in Radiologic Technology for Radiologic Technologist at the junior experience tier.

Q3

A 29-year-old is booked for a lumbar spine series. She reports her last menstrual period started 3 weeks ago and says she might be pregnant. The radiologist will not be back in the department for 40 minutes. Applying pregnancy-inquiry rules at technologist level, what is the correct action?

Easy
  • aProceed because an LMP 3 weeks ago means she cannot be pregnant, and a 40-minute delay is unacceptable.
  • bCollimate tightly to L1–L3 only, skip the lumbosacral junction, and expose so the order is 'partly done' when the radiologist returns.
  • cHave her sign a waiver that she accepts fetal risk, then complete the four-view series as ordered.
  • dDo not expose. Hold the lumbar series, document the uncertain pregnancy status, and notify the ordering clinician; do not wait out the 40 minutes and then irradiate anyway.Correct

Explanation: d is correct: lumbar radiography irradiates the pelvis; uncertain pregnancy is a hold, not a queue. a fails: LMP 3 weeks ago is peri-ovulatory/early-pregnancy possible, not a negative test. b fails: a truncated series still irradiates and is not a pregnancy workaround. c fails: a waiver does not replace screening, protocol, or clinician decision, and the tech must not proceed on a signature alone.

Why it matters: Evaluates practical domain proficiency in Radiologic Technology for Radiologic Technologist at the junior experience tier.

Q4

You exposed a PA left hand. After the exposure you see the lead laterality marker is on the wrong side of the image. The fingers are otherwise well positioned. What do you do?

Easy
  • aElectronically annotate 'L' over the marker and send; the anatomy proves it is the left.
  • bReject the image with the incorrect marker and repeat once with a physical lead marker in the beam on the correct side before exposure.Correct
  • cFlip the image horizontally in the workstation so the marker appears on the expected side, then send.
  • dSend the image unmarked except for a sticky note on the cassette for the radiologist.

Explanation: b is correct: a wrong-side marker is a laterality identification failure; the exposure is a reject, not a salvageable positioning repeat, and a true lead marker must be present at exposure. a fails: post-exposure electronic laterality is not a substitute when the physical marker already states the opposite side. c fails: flipping falsifies geometry and laterality. d fails: informal notes never replace a marker in the primary beam.

Why it matters: Evaluates practical domain proficiency in Radiologic Technology for Radiologic Technologist at the junior experience tier.

Q5

By the inverse-square law for a point-like x-ray source, if you double the distance from the source while leaving output unchanged, the air kerma (intensity) at the new location is closest to which fraction of the original?

Easy
  • aOne-half, because dose falls linearly with distance.
  • bUnchanged, because kVp and mAs were not altered.
  • cOne-fourth, because intensity varies with the square of the distance ratio.Correct
  • dDouble, because the beam has more room to spread and therefore more photons arrive.

Explanation: c is correct: intensity ∝ 1/d², so 2× distance yields (1/2)² = 1/4 the dose rate. a is the common linear near-miss. b fails: technique factors set tube output, not the geometric fall-off at a new point. d is physically inverted; spreading over a larger sphere decreases intensity.
