AI Resume Screening Agent

How Cassidy automates candidate screening using AI

Step 1: Trigger on new application

The Workflow activates when a candidate submits an application to your ATS—whether through your career site, referral channel, or talent pool—pulling the resume and requisition details into Cassidy.

Step 2: Parse and normalize candidate data

Cassidy extracts entities from the resume (employers, titles, skills, certifications, education) and maps them to standardized taxonomies, handling non-standard formats, employment gaps, and multi-language content.

Step 3: Match skills to job requirements

The agent decomposes the job description into weighted competencies and scores each candidate against must-haves, nice-to-haves, and disqualifiers—generating human-readable rationales tied to specific resume evidence.

Step 4: Triage and route candidates

Cassidy buckets applicants into auto-advance, review, and decline queues based on configurable thresholds, routing high-fit candidates to recruiters with SLA timers and flagging edge cases for Human-in-the-Loop review.

Step 5: Sync decisions back to ATS

Scores, tags, stage updates, and reason codes are written back to your ATS with full audit trails, while templated candidate communications are triggered automatically—keeping your talent pipeline moving and your compliance posture intact.
