Question 1

What is AI resume screening?

Accepted Answer

It is reading and ranking applications against a specific job with a model rather than by hand. Resume AI takes your job description and a batch of résumés, parses each one, scores it against that job's own requirements, and writes out why it scored that way — the skills matched, the requirements missed, and anything worth asking about. You open a ranked list with the reasoning attached instead of an inbox.

Question 2

Does it work with CVs as well as résumés?

Accepted Answer

Yes — they are the same document to the parser, and the naming is regional rather than structural. A two-page US résumé and a longer UK, European or Indian CV are both read the same way: role history, seniority, years of experience, skills and contact details come out of the document itself. Academic CVs with publication lists parse too, though the score still reflects the job you matched them against.

Question 3

How does it score a candidate against a job description?

Accepted Answer

The job description is the rubric. Resume AI extracts the requirements from the JD you upload, then checks each candidate against them one by one, so the score is relative to that role and not to some general idea of a good résumé. Every score comes with the sentence explaining it, the requirements met, the requirements missed, and what the document never mentions — a score with no reasoning behind it is the thing nobody trusts.

Question 4

How many résumés can I screen at once?

Accepted Answer

Bulk upload is the normal way to use it — you upload a batch against one job description and get a ranked list back, rather than running candidates one at a time. Analysis runs in the background with live progress, so a large batch does not block you, and results are exportable to CSV.

Question 5

Is Resume AI an applicant tracking system?

Accepted Answer

No. Resume AI is the screening step on its own: upload a job description and a batch of résumés, get scores and reasoning back. It has no job board, no pipeline, no interview scheduling and no offers. If you need the whole hire in one place, that is Grasshire — our ATS, which uses this same screening engine at intake. Use Resume AI if you only need the shortlist; use Grasshire if you need to run the hire.

Question 6

Does the AI reject candidates on its own?

Accepted Answer

No. It ranks and explains, and that is where it stops. Nothing is moved, filtered out or rejected without a person deciding — the output is a ranked list with reasoning that a recruiter reads and acts on. The model's job is to make the shortlist findable, not to make the decision.

Question 7

What does it flag as a risk area?

Accepted Answer

Things worth a question rather than verdicts: unexplained gaps in employment, short overlapping tenures, claims that appear in a skills list but nowhere in the described work, and requirements the role asks for that the document never addresses. They are surfaced so you can ask about them in a first call, not so the candidate can be dismissed on them.

Question 8

How fast is it, and how accurate?

Accepted Answer

Around fifteen seconds per résumé, with an accuracy target of 95% on match scoring. Accuracy here means the score and the stated reasoning agree with what a recruiter reading the same document against the same job description would conclude — which is why every score ships with its reasoning, so you can check it rather than take it on trust.
