Candidate ranking software that orders the pile by fit

Candidate ranking is the difference between an inbox and a shortlist. A flat list of applicants forces a recruiter to impose order by hand, one resume at a time, which is slow and inconsistent. What a hiring team actually wants is the pile already ordered by how well each person fits the role.

Human-in-the-loop you decide

EEOC and LL144 bias-audited

Prescreener is candidate ranking software that does exactly that. It reads every applicant, applies your knockout and eligibility criteria, scores role-fit, and ranks the pile with a transparent reason behind each position. Recruiters review the top of the ranking first, see why each candidate sits where they do, and make every decision themselves. Nothing is auto-rejected, and the ranking is bias-audited for EEOC and NYC Local Law 144 with candidate consent and AI disclosure.

Why it works

What your team gets with candidate ranking software

Ordered by fit

The pile arrives ranked by role-fit, so recruiters stop imposing order by hand and start at the candidates most worth their time.

Reason per position

Each ranking carries a transparent reason tied to your criteria, so the order is something a recruiter can trust and explain.

You set the criteria

The ranking reflects the weights and must-haves you define, so the top of the list maps to what the role actually requires.

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.
