How a recruiting team took the manual work out of candidate screening

A recruiting team spent hours manually screening candidates for urgent roles, which slowed hiring to a crawl. We built an assistant that handles the first-pass screening, so recruiters spend their time on the candidates worth talking to.

Challenge

First-pass screening was manual and slow, holding up urgent hires.

What we built

An assistant that runs the first pass and surfaces the strongest candidates.

Result

Faster hiring, with recruiters focused on the right people.

The challenge

For urgent roles, recruiters read through stacks of applications by hand just to find the few worth a conversation. It was slow, repetitive work, and good candidates went cold while it happened.

What we built

  • Built an assistant that runs first-pass screening against each role and asks candidates follow-up questions.
  • Surfaced the strongest matches to recruiters, with the reasoning behind each one.
  • Kept a recruiter in control of every decision, so the assistant supports the call rather than making it.
