Resume Screening Automation

The highest-ROI HR automation: screening resumes at scale.

The problem: A job posting receives 200+ applications. HR spends 2-3 minutes per resume = 8-10 hours reviewing one position. A Director-level role might get 500 applications.

The AI solution:

Job description input: HR enters the job requirements
Claude generates evaluation criteria: Must-have vs. nice-to-have; red flags to watch for; ideal candidate profile
Resume processing pipeline:

- Parse PDF resumes → extract text - Claude evaluates each resume against criteria:

Score this resume 0-100 against this job description. Return JSON: {"score": N, "must_have_met": ["list"], "missing": ["list"], "years_relevant_exp": N, "red_flags": ["list"], "summary": "2 sentences", "recommendation": "strong_yes|yes|maybe|no"}

Results: Ranked list with scores and assessments
HR reviews: Top 20-30 candidates (10 minutes of review vs. 10 hours)

Tools: n8n or Make.com for the pipeline, Claude for evaluation, Airtable for candidate tracking.

Job Description Writing Service

Job descriptions are written poorly at most companies — generic requirements lists that don't sell the role, don't reflect the company culture, and don't attract the right candidates.

AI-improved job descriptions:

Lead with why the role is exciting (not "we are looking for...")
Describe the impact of the role, not just the tasks
Be specific about who thrives in this environment
Include realistic information about the team and challenges
Optimise for the target candidate's motivation

Service model: Rewrite existing JDs or write new ones from a brief. $200-500 per job description. With AI, producing a polished JD from a brief takes 30 minutes including review.
