What's Wrong With Current AI Screening
- Most "AI" ATS Tools — Parse resumes for keywords, count matches, rank by frequency. Fast but inaccurate. Misses strong candidates who use different terminology. Over-ranks keyword-stuffed resumes. 75% of qualified candidates are rejected.
- Curriculo ATS AI Screening — Extracts structured data. Evaluates measurable outcomes. Scores candidates 0–100 across role fit, impact, and relevance. Surfaces high-performers regardless of resume format.
How AI Screening Works
- Upload or Receive — Post a job and candidates apply. CurriculoATS accepts resumes in any format, PDF, DOCX, or plain text. No special formatting required.
- AI Parsing — Our NLP engine extracts structured data from every resume: skills, experience, achievements, timelines, and quantified results. No special formatting required from candidates.
- Signal Analysis — Each candidate is scored across five dimensions:
- Quantified Achievements, Revenue generated, users acquired, costs reduced, teams scaled
- Scope of Responsibility, Team size, budget managed, strategic vs tactical work
- Career Trajectory, Progression speed, role growth, increasing scope over time
- Skills Alignment, Match between candidate skills and role requirements
- Narrative Clarity, How clearly the candidate communicates their impact
- Ranked Results — Candidates are ranked by composite Impact Score (0–100). Top candidates are surfaced in under 20 minutes for 50+ applicants. No manual screening required.
