The problem it solves

You get flooded with resumes for every open role and reviewing each one by hand takes hours you don't have. Different reviewers judge candidates inconsistently, so good applicants can slip through the cracks.

Who it fits

Recruiters, hiring managers, and small HR teams handling a high volume of applications.

How it works

  1. A new email with a resume attachment arrives in Gmail
  2. The automation extracts the resume file and reads its contents
  3. AI pulls out the candidate's name, contact details, skills, and education
  4. AI scores the resume against your evaluation criteria
  5. The candidate's details and score are logged in a Google Sheet
What you get

Candidates ranked before you open a resume

Every resume that lands in your inbox gets read, scored, and logged in a spreadsheet, ready for you to review candidates faster.

What you get

A Google Sheet listing every candidate with their contact details and AI-generated score.

What you need

A Gmail account, an OpenAI API key, and a Google Workspace 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.
