What it does

What Screener does

  • 01

    Resume scoring against the role

    Scores each applicant against the role rubric, the compensation band and culture signals, across seven factors instead of a keyword match.

  • 02

    Candidate communication

    Handles the routine messages to candidates as they move through screening, so applicants are not left waiting on a recruiter's inbox.

  • 03

    Screening assessments

    Sends a screening assessment where the role needs one and brings the result back alongside the resume score.

  • 04

    Shortlists with explanations

    Every shortlist shows the factors behind each score, so a recruiter approves or overrides a ranking knowing why it came out that way.
