Candidate Resume Screening and Scoring

What does this mean?

Recruiters screen faster with consistent criteria, surface qualified candidates sooner, and improve hiring quality while reducing manual review time.

How it works?

Ingests job descriptions and parses incoming resumes, then compares candidates to the JD using a structured, weighted rubric (skills, experience, certifications, tenure, and location fit) to produce ranked shortlists with transparent rationale.

Workflow steps

Step 1: Ingest job description

The Workflow begins when a new job description is added—via a manual trigger, Google Drive, or SharePoint. Cassidy parses the JD to extract key requirements: required skills, experience levels, certifications, location preferences, and other hiring criteria.

Step 2: Receive incoming resumes

As candidates apply, resumes flow into the Workflow automatically through email, file uploads, or directly from your ATS or cloud storage.

Step 3: Parse and extract candidate data

Cassidy analyzes each resume, pulling out structured information: work history, skills, certifications, tenure at previous roles, and location.

Step 4: Score against weighted rubric

The Workflow compares each candidate's profile to the job description using a structured, weighted rubric. Cassidy evaluates skills match, years of experience, relevant certifications, job tenure patterns, and location fit—assigning scores to each dimension.

Step 5: Generate ranking rationale

For every candidate, Cassidy produces a transparent explanation of their score—highlighting strengths, gaps, and how they stack up against the role's requirements.

Step 6: Compile ranked shortlist

The Workflow assembles a ranked list of top candidates with their scores and rationale, formatted for easy review.

Step 7: Route to recruiter for review

The shortlist is delivered to your recruiting team via email or Slack, keeping a human in the loop before any candidate moves forward in the process.
