What it means

Resume screening is the step where a recruiting team reviews candidate materials against role requirements. Software may help parse resumes, highlight signals, rank candidates, or route profiles for review.

Buyer checks

  • Ask what criteria are configurable and visible to recruiters.
  • Check whether automated recommendations can be reviewed or overridden.
  • Review fairness, privacy, and documentation controls before using automation.

Resume screening tools should support human decision-making rather than hide it.
