The problem it solves

Resumes come in by email all day, and manually checking each one for basic details like contact info and skills eats into your team's time. Incomplete applications slip through, and candidates with real potential can get lost in the pile.

Who it fits

HR and recruiting teams handling a steady stream of resume submissions.

How it works

  1. A new email with a resume attachment arrives
  2. The resume text is extracted from the PDF
  3. AI reads the resume and pulls out key details like name, skills, and experience
  4. The system checks that all required fields are present
  5. Valid resumes are filed, and HR is emailed if anything is missing
What you get

Incomplete applications flagged before they reach a reviewer

Every resume that comes in gets checked for the details you require, and HR gets alerted the moment something is missing.

What you get

Organized, validated resumes on file, plus an email alert for any incomplete submissions.

What you need

An email inbox with IMAP access for receiving resumes.

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.
