Candidate Screening Agent
An example hiring assistant that prepares role-based candidate summaries for recruiter review.
Candidate Screening Agent
The challenge
Recruiters need to compare applications against a role while keeping enough context to judge relevant experience and gaps.
The proposed approach
The assistant compares resumes with the role requirements and prepares strengths, gaps, and interview questions. Recruiters review the candidates and any outreach drafts.
The intended benefit
Recruiters would start with comparable summaries while keeping responsibility for hiring decisions. They would need to check the summaries against the original applications.

Testing the idea
What to check in a working version.
This is a hypothetical workflow design. The steps and checks describe a possible build, and the intended benefits would need to be tested with real work.

Steps to automate
- Extract resume details into a consistent candidate profile.
- Compare experience against role requirements.
- Summarize strengths, gaps, and interview questions.
Where people review the work
- Reject or advance candidates only after recruiter review
- Check relevant experience and gaps before outreach
- Adjust criteria when hiring priorities change
Possible tools
Checks before launch
- Keep irreversible or sensitive steps behind approval.
- Log the inputs, output, and reason for each important decision.
- Send uncertain results to a person for review.
Results to measure
- Accuracy of candidate summaries
- Relevance of suggested interview questions
- Whether each hiring decision has recruiter approval
What a working build should include
- A workflow map showing what starts a run, which sources it uses, and where the output goes.
- A review screen where a person can inspect the evidence, edit the output, and approve or reject an action.
- A run log showing the inputs, sources, output, and actions taken, including errors.
