Candidate Screener
Screening a stack of résumés by hand is slow and inconsistent, and strong candidates slip through. This assistant reads each application as it arrives, summarizes the candidate's fit for the role, and ranks them - turning a pile of PDFs into a structured, comparable shortlist your team can act on in minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Candidate Screener handle different résumé formats?
It reads résumés directly from PDFs or images, so there's no need for manual data entry or formatting.
Do I need to write code to set this up?
No, it's a no-code template on Gaia - just connect your application source and it starts screening automatically.
Does it automatically contact candidates?
No, it only summarizes and ranks candidates for your review; a human must approve any contact before it happens.
Which apps does it integrate with?
It works with Gaia's native table, so no external app connections are needed - résumés are processed directly from uploads.
How accurate is the ranking?
It evaluates fit based on the résumé content against the role, but you should always review the rankings before taking action.
