The problem it solves

Reading every resume against a job description takes real time, and it's hard to stay consistent from one candidate to the next when you're screening at volume. Strong candidates can get buried in the pile while you're stuck reading applications that were never a fit.

Who it fits

HR teams and hiring managers who need consistent, fast first-round screening of job applicants.

How it works

  1. A candidate submits an application and resume through your careers form
  2. The resume text is extracted and saved to Google Drive with a shareable link
  3. The application is matched to the right open job posting
  4. AI compares the resume to the job requirements and produces a match score and notes
  5. The record is saved to Airtable, and HR gets an email alert for strong matches
What you get

Resumes that get a fair first look

Every resume is compared against the job requirements and scored, so your strongest matches rise to the top for you to review.

What you get

A scored, structured candidate record in Airtable and an email alert for every strong-fit applicant.

What you need

An OpenAI API key, a Google Drive account, an Airtable account, and a Gmail account.

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.
