Screen resumes against job specs with AI, for recruiters

You spend evenings clicking through stacks of candidate resumes against the same open role specs. Let AI read the pile, match the backgrounds, and hand you a rough shortlist with quick notes.

What to gather first

• The client job spec
• Three to five candidate resumes
• Your list of deal-breaker requirements

Which app

For this one, a plain AI chat window is enough. Open the chat, paste what you gathered, and type the message below.

How to do it

1. Paste the client spec. Drop the job description into the chat window. Add your notes on the specific skills or licenses the client asked for. AI keeps these requirements ready as the benchmark.
2. Add the candidate resumes. Paste or upload the text from the batch of resumes you received. Tell AI to read each background against the spec you shared. AI goes through the text candidate by candidate.
3. Ask for comparison notes. Tell AI to sort the candidates into matches and non-matches. It drafts a short bulleted list showing where each person fits the spec and where they fall short. It leaves the final call to you.
4. Review and pick candidates. Read through the notes against the original files. You spot gaps, confirm the relevant experience, and choose who moves to the phone screen. You send the updates to your client.

What to type first

Change the words to match your business. AI follows what you say, so say what done looks like.

Before you trust it

• Check that years of direct experience match the dates on the original resume.
• Verify that required certifications or degrees are clearly stated in the source file.
• Look closely at candidates marked as misses to make sure the client spec was not read too strictly.

Once this feels comfortable, drop in your interview question templates and have AI draft role-specific questions for the top candidates.
