"Prescreen" questions

[Art_Vandelay]

After filling out an application online for certain hospitals, some have several "prescreen" questions at the end of the entire application process. To hiring managers or anyone aware of the process, does a computer immediately throw my application in the trash if I am not answering "yes" to every question? For example, I meet the general "do you have x amount of years experience" but not "Do you have your B.S.N.?" I find the prescreen questions are the "preferred qualifications". How is it preferred if everyone else is prescreened out?

There is a hospital that I have applied to that does this. I have still had applications referred to the hiring managers, even when I answer "no" to some of them. I am a new grad ADN so I answer no to the BSN and experience questions. But so far I think it just gets better qualified to the top of the pile but doesn't necessarily rule others out.

Thanks for your feedback! Much appreciated.

I'm not for sure, but I think the pre-screen questions do just that.. Pre-screen you out.
