CANDIDATE RESEARCH REVIEW · Workflow idea

Bring relevant evidence together and leave hiring judgment with people.

Start with an approved job description and a recruiting purpose, then organize candidate-provided or otherwise authorized professional information against the role’s stated requirements. Present evidence and gaps neutrally, exclude protected or unrelated personal details, and have trained recruiters assess candidates consistently without automated scoring, ranking, or selection.

Keep in mind

Employment data is sensitive, and automated ranking can create unfair or unsupported outcomes. Use only authorized, job-related information, remove protected or irrelevant details, explain gaps rather than inferring ability, and keep all screening, evaluation, interviewing, and hiring decisions with trained human recruiters.
