Candidate Screening Assistant
Most resumes read alike, and the details that actually predict success — real seniority, the calibre of past employers, whether the experience checks out — are not in the document. This assistant screens each application as it arrives: it verifies the candidate's background with web search and Apollo, weighs their skills against the role, and returns a fit score with the reasoning behind it. Recruiters spend their hours on the few candidates worth a conversation.

- The assistant verifies the candidate with web search and Apollo, confirming employers, seniority, and tenure.
- It weighs their skills against the role, scores the fit, and recommends advance, hold, or reject — with reasoning.
- A shortlist alert and a candidate email are drafted — all for your review.

Works with Apollo, Slack, Gmail
This assistant connects to Apollo, Slack, Gmail once — no code required. It is not a plain field-copy integration: as data moves, the AI adds a real decision step (classify, extract, prioritize, draft), and a human approves before anything is sent to Apollo.
Frequently asked questions
Does this assistant automatically reject candidates without my input?
No, it never auto-rejects. The assistant scores and recommends advance, hold, or reject, but you approve every decision and message before any candidate is contacted.
How does it verify a candidate's background?
It uses web search and Apollo enrichment to confirm employers, seniority, and tenure, so you judge applicants on verified facts rather than resume claims.
Which apps does it connect to?
It integrates with Apollo, Slack, and Gmail to collect applications, verify data, and draft shortlist alerts and candidate emails.
Do I need to write any code to set this up?
No, it's a no-code template on Gaia. Just connect your Apollo, Slack, and Gmail accounts once, and the assistant runs automatically.
Can I customize the screening criteria for different roles?
Yes, you can adjust the skills and role requirements in the assistant's configuration to match each job posting.
