Applicant screening tool that ranks the pile for you

An applicant screening tool should answer one question fast: out of everyone who applied, who should I look at first? Too many tools answer with a keyword filter that knocks people out silently, leaving recruiters unsure who was dropped and why.

Prescreener is an applicant screening tool that ranks instead of silently filtering. It reads every inbound resume, applies your knockout and eligibility criteria, asks screening questions, scores role-fit, and orders the pile with a transparent reason behind each placement. Recruiters open a ranked shortlist, see why each candidate sits where they do, and make every decision themselves. Nothing is auto-rejected, and the tool is bias-audited for EEOC and NYC Local Law 144 with candidate consent and AI disclosure.

Why it works

What your team gets with applicant screening tool

Ranks, not silently filters

Candidates are ordered with visible reasons rather than knocked out behind the scenes, so recruiters always know who is in the pile and why.

Answers who first

The tool turns a flat inbox into a prioritized shortlist, so the very first resume a recruiter opens is one of the strongest matches.

Reasons stay visible

Each placement shows the criteria behind it, so screening decisions are explainable to recruiters, candidates, and auditors alike.

What it handles

Parsed, scored and ranked on autopilot

Prescreener reads every inbound resume, applies your knockout and eligibility criteria, asks the screening questions you set, scores role-fit against consistent criteria, and ranks the applicant pile so your recruiters review the top matches first.

Why Prescreener

One step that screens the whole inbound pile

Not a full ATS, not a six-figure assessment suite, and not a staffing agency. Parse, score, rank and hand off in one place, shaped to the criteria you already hire on.

Reads every resume

Prescreener parses every inbound application, applies your knockout and eligibility criteria, and asks the screening questions you set. Applicants consent and are told AI is screening their application, so no qualified person sits in a backlog for days.

Scores role-fit consistently

Every applicant is scored against the same criteria, with a transparent reason on each candidate, so the pile is compared consistently and the scoring stays bias-audited against EEOC guidance and NYC Local Law 144.

Ranks the pile

The strongest matches rise to the top of a ranked pile your recruiters review first. Prescreener never auto-rejects, it ranks and flags candidates for review, and your team makes every decision.
