How to screen resumes with an AI screening agent
Set the role criteria and knockout rules, and the AI screening agent reads the inbound pile the moment applications land. It parses every resume, applies your rules, scores each applicant against your criteria, and hands recruiters a ranked pile with transparent reasons. Here is exactly how it works, from criteria to ranked pile, with a recruiter making every final decision.
Candidate consent and clear AI disclosure before any application is screened. Structured, criteria-based scoring that is bias-audited for fairness aligned to EEOC and NYC Local Law 144. The AI ranks and flags for recruiter review and never auto-hires or auto-rejects.
Resume screening, end to end
How to screen resumes in four steps
Prescreener handles the repetitive reading and triage so your recruiters spend their time on the top matches. You set the criteria, the AI does the parsing, scoring and ranking, and a human makes every hiring decision.
01 / DEFINE
Set role criteria and knockouts
Pick the role and set the criteria the AI scores against, plus the knockout and eligibility rules. You choose what good looks like and which signals matter, so every applicant is measured on the same job-related criteria.
02 / APPLY
Applicants apply with consent
Each applicant sees a clear disclosure that AI is used to screen their application and gives consent before resumes are processed. If the role uses screening questions, every applicant answers the same ones for a consistent screen.
03 / SCORE
The AI parses, scores and ranks
Every resume is parsed into structured data, your knockout rules are applied, and role-fit is scored against your criteria, then the pile is ranked with a reason behind each placement. Scoring is bias-audited for fairness aligned to EEOC and NYC Local Law 144, with no face or personality pseudoscience.
04 / REVIEW
Recruiters review the top matches
Recruiters open a ranked pile with scores, reasons and knockout flags, review the top matches first, and make every final call. The AI only ranks and flags for recruiter review. A human stays in the loop and no one is rejected automatically.

Across the whole screen
One agent parses, scores and ranks the inbound pile
The same agent runs every stage of screening, so you are not stitching a parser to a scoring tool to a spreadsheet. Recruiters keep the final say at every step.
Automated resume screening
Every applicant is parsed and screened the moment they apply, on consistent criteria, with consent and a clear AI disclosure first. No more inbox backlog or strong resumes sitting unread at the bottom of the pile.
Criteria-based scoring
Each applicant is scored against the criteria you set, so candidates are compared on the same job-related signals. Scoring is bias-audited for fairness aligned to EEOC and NYC Local Law 144.
Ranked applicant pile
Scored applicants are ranked with reasons and knockout flags, and the top matches are surfaced for recruiter review. Prescreener never hires or rejects on its own, a recruiter makes every final call.
What changes when the AI screens the pile
Screen faster, read every resume, keep recruiters in control
When Prescreener screens the inbound pile at scale instead of your team reading resumes one at a time, the time-to-shortlist drops and no qualified applicant gets missed.
Cut time-to-shortlist
Resumes are screened the moment candidates apply instead of waiting in a queue, so recruiters get a ranked pile in minutes, not weeks.
Read 100% of resumes
Every applicant is parsed and screened against the same criteria, so strong candidates in a high-volume pile never slip through because no one had time to read their resume.
Fairer, consistent scoring
Consistent criteria-based scoring that is bias-audited for fairness aligned to EEOC and NYC Local Law 144 replaces inconsistent manual review, with a transparent reason on every score.
Recruiters keep the decision
Prescreener ranks and flags for recruiter review and never auto-hires or auto-rejects, so your team makes every call with the full context in front of them.
Prescreener is decision-support for your recruiters. The AI scores and ranks, people decide. It does not make hiring decisions on its own.
