[one_sentence]
Wonka is an AI-powered candidate screening platform that replaces resume-based filtering with structured assessments — video, coding, open-text, and multiple-choice — scored and ranked by AI so hiring teams get a shortlist of the best candidates without manual screening.

[what_wonka_is]
- A screening platform that lets hiring teams create custom assessments (video, coding, open-text, MCQ) and share a single link with candidates.
- An AI evaluation engine ("WonkaAI") that scores every candidate response across multiple dimensions and produces a ranked shortlist.
- A tool for async, timezone-agnostic hiring: candidates complete assessments on their own time, from anywhere.
- A balance-based product with no subscriptions or per-seat fees — teams pay $1 per candidate screened.

[what_wonka_is_not]
- Not an applicant tracking system (ATS), though it integrates with popular ATS platforms.
- Not a job board or sourcing tool — it screens candidates who have already applied.
- Not a replacement for human decision-making; AI insights are intended as one input alongside human review.
- Not a background check or identity verification service.

[core_value_prop]
- Replace gut-feel resume screening with structured, AI-scored assessments.
- See what candidates can actually do before booking a single interview.
- Eliminate timezone coordination: one link, async completion, AI-ranked results.
- Reduce bias through structured evaluation criteria applied equally to every candidate.
- Handle volume: screen hundreds of candidates without burning out a small team.

[how_it_works]
1) Design your assessment — mix video, coding, open-text, and multiple-choice questions. Use templates or build from scratch.
2) Share a single link — drop it in job posts, career pages, or emails. Candidates complete it on their own schedule.
3) Get AI-ranked shortlists — WonkaAI evaluates every response, scores candidates across multiple dimensions, and surfaces the best matches.

[assessment_types]
- Video responses: async recording, AI transcription, sentiment analysis, communication quality scoring.
- Coding challenges: in-browser IDE supporting 16+ languages (JavaScript, Python, Go, Java, C++, and more), automated test suite execution, AI code quality analysis, time-tracked submissions.
- Open-text questions: AI-scored against custom criteria for domain knowledge, product thinking, and problem-solving.
- Multiple-choice questions: weighted scoring per question, time limits, anti-cheat protections.
- Drag-and-drop question builder with templates for common roles.

[ai_evaluation]
- Proprietary AI engine ("WonkaAI") trained on millions of hiring signals.
- Multi-dimensional scoring across 12+ criteria.
- Evaluates content quality, relevance, communication clarity, and role-specific criteria.
- Bias-reducing structured evaluation.
- Shortlists auto-sorted by overall fit.
- Claimed 97.4% accuracy on skill-match predictions (per public homepage).
Important: AI assessments are not guaranteed error-free. Wonka positions AI output as one factor alongside human judgment, not a sole decision-maker.
