Screening · AI applicant screening
AI applicant screening software that reads and ranks every applicant
AI applicant screening matters most when the pile is too big to read by hand. A single posting can draw hundreds of applicants, and a recruiter physically cannot give each one a fair read, so screening becomes a skim of the first few pages and a lot of strong people never get looked at.

Prescreener does AI applicant screening across the entire pile, every applicant, no exceptions. It applies your knockout and eligibility criteria consistently, asks screening questions, scores role-fit, and ranks candidates with a transparent reason for each. Recruiters review the top matches first, a human makes every decision, and nothing is auto-rejected. The screening is bias-audited to support EEOC standards and NYC Local Law 144, and runs with candidate consent and clear AI disclosure.
Applicant screening and resume screening are not quite the same job, and the difference decides which page you want. Resume screening reads the document. Applicant screening covers the whole applicant record: the resume, the answers to your screening questions, and the hard eligibility gates like work authorization, shift availability, or a license the role legally requires. Prescreener does both in one pass, so if it is specifically the document parsing and role-fit scoring you are evaluating, the AI resume screening software page goes deeper on that side.
Why it works
What your team gets with AI applicant screening
Everyone gets read
AI reads the full pile, so no applicant is skipped because a recruiter ran out of hours before reaching the back half of the inbox. The back half is where the late applicants sit, and they are no worse than the early ones.
Consistent and explained
The same criteria apply to every applicant, and each ranking carries a transparent reason, so screening is even and defensible. A tired reviewer on a Friday afternoon applies a different standard than the same reviewer on Monday. A criteria set does not.
Surfaces, never decides
Prescreener flags and ranks the top matches, but a recruiter reviews the reasons and makes every advance or reject call. Nobody is removed from consideration by software.
The whole applicant, not just the resume
Screening question answers and hard eligibility gates are scored alongside the resume, so an applicant who cannot work the shift or lacks the required credential drops down the list with the reason attached rather than reaching a phone screen.
Sits on top of the ATS you already run
Prescreener screens the inbound pile and hands back a ranked list. Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, or whatever holds your requisitions keeps holding them. There is no migration and no second system of record.
