Screening · Resume parser

Resume parser that scores and ranks, not just extracts

A plain resume parser turns a PDF into structured fields: name, titles, dates, skills. Useful, but parsing alone still leaves a recruiter staring at hundreds of tidy records with no idea which ones to read first. Extraction is the start of screening, not the end of it.

Human-in-the-loop you decide

EEOC and LL144 bias-audited

Prescreener parses every inbound resume into clean structured data, then goes the distance most parsers stop short of. It applies your knockout and eligibility criteria, asks screening questions, scores role-fit, and ranks the pile with a transparent reason behind each placement. Recruiters review the top matches first, a human makes every decision, and nothing is auto-rejected. The whole flow is bias-audited for EEOC and NYC Local Law 144, with candidate consent and AI disclosure.

Why it works

What your team gets with resume parser

Clean structured data

Every resume becomes consistent fields you can filter and search, even from messy PDFs and unusual formats, so the data is reliable before any scoring begins.

Parsing plus scoring

Where most parsers stop at extraction, Prescreener scores role-fit and ranks the pile, so structured data turns directly into a prioritized review list.

Transparent placement

Each candidate ranking links back to the criteria and the parsed evidence behind it, so recruiters see exactly why someone landed where they did.

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.
