Score job applicants with AI and send the outcome email

AI scores each job application, then automatically emails candidates whether they were shortlisted or not.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken.

The problem it solves

Reviewing every job application by hand takes hours, and candidates are often left waiting days for any response at all. Manually deciding who moves forward also makes it harder to apply the same standard to every applicant.

Who it fits

HR teams or hiring managers who want consistent, fast screening for a high volume of job applications.

How it works

  1. A candidate submits an application
  2. AI reviews the candidate's profile and assigns a score with reasoning
  3. The score is checked against your hiring threshold
  4. Shortlisted candidates are saved to a spreadsheet and sent a confirmation email
  5. Candidates who do not meet the bar receive a rejection email automatically
What you get

Candidates who hear back the same day

Every applicant gets a consistent score and a timely email letting them know where they stand.

What you get

An instant email response to every candidate, plus a spreadsheet of shortlisted applicants with AI-generated scores and reasoning.

What you need

An email account, a Google Sheets account, and an AI model provider 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.
