The problem it solves

You get more resumes than you can realistically read, and good candidates slip through while you're buried in email. Meanwhile applicants wait days for any response, even a simple no.

Who it fits

HR teams and recruiters who want every applicant screened and answered without manual review of each resume.

How it works

  1. A new resume arrives as a PDF attachment in your inbox
  2. AI reads the resume and compares it against your job description
  3. Strong matches get an email with an interview scheduling link
  4. Weak matches are flagged for a recruiter to review, and non-matches get a polite rejection email
What you get

Candidates screened and answered without extra effort

Every resume that comes in gets automatically screened against your job description, with strong matches routed straight to an interview link.

What you get

A scored candidate, plus an automatic reply: an interview link, a review flag, or a rejection email.

What you need

An email inbox connected by IMAP, an AI provider like OpenAI or Anthropic, and a scheduling link such as Calendly.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
