AI Candidate Screening: Tools, Methods, and Evaluation Criteria
Candidate screening is the process of evaluating applicants against job requirements before investing recruiter time in interviews. AI screening tools automate this process — applying consistent criteria to every applicant, generating comparable scores, and prioritizing the strongest candidates for recruiter review. The category ranges from simple knock-out question tools to sophisticated voice AI platforms that conduct multi-dimensional structured evaluations.
