What is Candidate Screening?

Candidate screening is how you decide which applicants go through to the next stage. It covers resume screening, screening questions, the requirements of the role, and whether someone is eligible and has the skills the job needs.

Done as an organised process with candidate screening software rather than a reading pile, it saves the team the hours and gives every applicant the same test. That is what makes a shortlist something you can defend.

Capabilities

Key Features of Niyuk
Candidate Screening

Everything it takes to get to a shortlist.

Book a demo

Automated screening & resume parsing

Every resume is read into structured fields on arrival through ai resume screening, so the pile is searchable data rather than a folder of documents.

AI-powered candidate matching

With ai candidate screening, applicants are matched on skills and experience against the role itself, not against whichever keywords somebody thought to search for.

Custom screening criteria & filters

Set what matters for each role once. Every applicant is then measured against the same thing in the candidate screening software, which is where consistency comes from.

Candidate scoring & ranking

A score with its reasons attached, so a shortlist can be explained to a hiring manager rather than just handed over.

Bulk screening

Four hundred applications take the same effort as forty with resume screening software, which is what makes a hiring drive survivable.

Real-time screening insights

Where applicants are, what is passing, what is being rejected and why, while the role is still open.
