Resume Screening & Shortlists

Inbound resumes scored against your rubric, screened through the four checks that matter, and shortlisted with written rationale for every advance - so the hiring loop walks in with 8 strong candidates, not 247 unread PDFs.

What the managed workflow does

Reads every resume

ATS extraction + parser pulls structured data from every resume - title, tenure, stack, narrative - so the rubric can score apples-to-apples regardless of format.

Scores against your rubric

Required skills, level expectations, culture-add signals - graded against your bar, not a generic library. Each candidate gets a numeric score and a written rationale.

Routes by verdict

Pass goes straight to the hiring loop. Maybe is queued for trial task or recruiter callback. Reject is auto-declined with a logged reason - no candidates get ghosted.

Surfaces drift

Per-rule pass rates, source ROI, and rep-vs-team calibration tracked over time - so the rubric tightens with the hiring data, not against it.
