How candidate screening works
- Set job criteria. Job requirements can include must-have and preferred skills, experience, education, and scoring weights. Recruiters can edit the parsed requirements.
- Extract resume details. Uploaded PDF, DOCX, and text resumes are converted into candidate profiles. Scanned image resumes without extractable text can fail and need a text-based file.
- Assess evidence against criteria. The AI returns requirement-level judgments and evidence alongside skill, experience, and education subscores. Recruiter-configured weights and policy rules affect the overall score.
- Review and decide. Recruiters can inspect the profile, resume text, assessment rationale, flags, and decision history before changing a candidate's stage.
What recruiters can inspect
Requirement-level results
See which job requirements were assessed, the verdict for each, and the evidence associated with it.
Score composition
Review component subscores, configured weights, policy caps, and the model's rationale for an assessment.
Candidate record
Open extracted profile details, resume text, risk indicators, application stage, and decision history.
Limitations to understand
Resume extraction depends on file quality and supported formats. AI assessment depends on the configured provider and can fail; the product reports failures for retry instead of inventing a score. The tool does not replace recruiter review, reference checks, or an organization's own employment decision process.
Frequently asked questions
How does AI candidate screening work in Recruit Hub?
Recruit Hub extracts resume profile details and assesses them against structured job requirements. The result includes requirement-level verdicts and evidence for recruiter review.
Can recruiters change screening criteria?
Yes. Recruiters can review and edit job requirements and weights. A requirements change can trigger reassessment across that job's candidate pool.
Does a candidate score decide who is hired?
No. Scores are one input. Recruiters should inspect the candidate profile, evidence, and other job-related information before making a decision.
