The problem it solves

Every resume that lands in your inbox has to be opened, read, and typed into a tracking system by hand. Between the volume of applicants and the back and forth, it's easy to lose track of good candidates.

Who it fits

A recruiter, HR department, or talent acquisition team receiving resumes by email.

How it works

  1. A new email with a resume attachment arrives
  2. The resume file is opened and its text extracted
  3. AI pulls out name, contact details, education, work experience, and skills
  4. The cleaned-up candidate record is saved to your database

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.
