What changes
Read the whole inbound pile, review only the top matches
Most teams screen on paper, skim the first page of applicants, and let the rest sit. Prescreener reads every resume, applies your criteria the same way for everyone, and ranks the pile so your recruiters spend their time on the candidates worth meeting.
Screen 100% of applicants
Prescreener reads every inbound resume the moment it lands, not just the first fifty, so no strong candidate is lost to a pile no one had time to work through.
Days of sorting, gone
It parses, applies your knockouts, scores role-fit and ranks the pile in minutes, so recruiters open their morning to a clean shortlist instead of 400 PDFs.
The same fair criteria
Every applicant is scored against the criteria you set, with a transparent reason on each, so screening is consistent instead of dependent on who happened to read the resume.
Fair and auditable
Consent and AI disclosure come first, scoring is criteria-based and bias-audited, and a recruiter makes every call. Aligned to EEOC guidance and NYC Local Law 144.
Prescreener is decision-support for recruiters. It ranks and flags candidates for recruiter review and never auto-rejects an applicant.

Prescreener reads the pile

ExploreHow screening actually gets done
Three ways teams screen an inbound pile
Most hiring teams use one of these three. Here is what each one does with the applicants nobody gets to.
| What matters | Reading in arrival order | ATS keyword filter | Prescreener |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who gets read | Whoever applied first, until time runs out | Whoever matched the keyword string | Every applicant, no matter when they applied |
| How candidates are prioritized | Arrival order, so the best hours go to random candidates | Keyword presence, which rewards resume wording over fit | Role-fit score against the criteria you set |
| The bottom of the pile | Never opened once the shortlist looks full enough | Filtered out silently, strong people included | Read and ranked, so nobody is lost to a backlog |
| Consistency between reviewers | Varies by who read it and how late in the day | Consistent, but only about keywords | Same criteria applied to everyone, every time |
| Why a candidate ranked where they did | Whatever the reviewer remembers | Matched or did not match the string | A transparent reason tied to your criteria |
| Who makes the decision | A recruiter | The filter, before a human sees it | A recruiter. Prescreener ranks and flags, it never auto-rejects |
What is resume screening software?
Resume screening software reads every inbound application, checks it against the criteria a hiring team sets (must-have skills, certifications, eligibility, availability), scores how well each candidate fits the role, and ranks the pile so recruiters review the strongest matches first instead of reading in the order applications arrived.
Does it reject candidates automatically?
Prescreener does not. It ranks and flags candidates for a recruiter to review, and shows the reason behind every placement, so a person makes each advance or reject call. Screening runs on consistent criteria with candidate consent and AI disclosure, and is bias-audited for EEOC and NYC Local Law 144.
Outcomes vary by role, applicant volume and how you configure your criteria. Last updated July 2026.
