Configuring AI Screening
AI screening automatically evaluates and ranks applicants against your job criteria so your team can focus on the strongest matches first. By setting scoring weights and a pass threshold, you control how candidates are filtered and surfaced, with explainable signals behind every score.
How It Works
•Each applicant is scored against the criteria and skills you define for the job.
•A configurable score threshold decides who automatically advances and who is filtered out.
•Scoring weights let you prioritize what matters most, such as resume relevance versus specific skill areas.
•Every score comes with explainable signals so you understand why a candidate ranked the way they did.
•Candidates who clear screening can be automatically advanced to the assessment stage.
Steps
1.Open the job you want to configure and go to its screening automation settings.
2.Turn on AI screening to enable automatic scoring for new applicants.
3.Set your score threshold — the minimum score a candidate must reach to advance.
4.Adjust the scoring weights to emphasize resume relevance and the skill areas most important to the role.
5.Review the skills and criteria list to confirm the AI is measuring the right things.
6.Save your settings and publish the job so screening runs as applications arrive.
Screening Settings
Setting | What It Controls |
|---|---|
Screening enabled | Turns automatic candidate scoring on or off for the job. |
Score threshold | The minimum score a candidate must reach to advance automatically. |
Resume weight | How much resume relevance contributes to the overall score. |
Skill focus areas | The specific competencies the AI emphasizes when evaluating candidates. |
Tips & Notes
•Start with a moderate threshold and adjust as you see how applicants score in the pipeline.
•Keep your job description and required skills accurate — the AI scores against what you define.
•Use the explainable signals on each candidate to validate scores before relying on them.
A higher threshold filters more aggressively. If too few candidates advance, lower the threshold rather than disabling screening.
Screening scores are decision aids. Always review borderline candidates manually before passing on them.
Troubleshooting
•No candidates are advancing: lower your score threshold or confirm the required skills aren't too narrow.
•Scores seem off: check that the job description and criteria list accurately reflect the role.
•Screening isn't running: make sure screening is enabled and the job has been published.
•Weights aren't taking effect: re-save your settings, as changes apply to applications received after saving.
