AI Resume Screening Automation
March 23, 2026
AI can screen resumes at scale so recruiters focus on the best fits.
How it works
You define job criteria (skills, experience, education). The AI scores and ranks applicants. You review shortlisted candidates instead of every resume.
Reducing bias
Use structured criteria only (e.g. skills, years of experience). Avoid screening on demographics or unstructured proxies. Good tools let you audit and explain scores. See AI HR Agent Bias Prevention.
Human in the loop
Always have humans review shortlisted candidates and make final decisions. Use AI to narrow the funnel, not to hire.
ATS integration
Screening often lives inside your ATS or plugs into it. For setup, AI Recruiting Agent ATS Integration.
