What Applicant AI is
Applicant AI sits in front of your hiring process. It reads CVs against the job description, asks candidates key questions through custom application links, scores the results, and then passes them into whichever applicant tracking system you already use.
What you can do with it
- Pre-screen candidates before human review
- Add screening questions to the application link
- Score applications consistently
- Reduce time spent on poor matches
- Keep records in your existing ATS
Who it is for
- Recruitment teams with high applicant volume
- Organisations receiving many mismatched CVs
- Teams using an existing ATS
What to watch out for
- Automated screening is regulated in several jurisdictions: expect obligations around bias testing, notices to candidates and human review before rejection
- Scoring is only as fair as the criteria you configure; audit outcomes by group, not just overall speed
- Candidate data must be handled under your privacy policy and retention rules
- Claims about screening speed are vendor figures, not quality guarantees

Where do candidates go afterwards?
Into the applicant tracking systems you already use.
