Applicant AI preview

Overview

Applicant AI is an AI applicant tracking system designed to pre-screen job applicants before they reach a recruiter’s main workflow. The product uses a candidate’s CV or resume together with the job description to score applicants and help hiring teams identify stronger matches faster.

The website positions the product as both a pre-filter for existing ATS tools and a standalone applicant tracking system. It supports custom screening questions, automatic sorting, and routing of higher-scoring candidates into the hiring process, while still leaving access to the full applicant pool.

Core features

AI applicant screening

Applicant AI can screen incoming applicants automatically using the CV or resume together with the job description, helping teams prioritize stronger matches before manual review.

Custom pre-screening form

The product provides a custom applicant link and form workflow, so candidates answer screening questions before their applications are scored.

Scoring and routing workflow

Applicants receive a score, and higher-scoring candidates can be redirected to an existing ATS while the team still retains visibility into all applicants.

Existing ATS pre-filtering

The site says Applicant AI can integrate as a pre-filter for existing ATS setups, including Greenhouse, Lever, and Workable.

Review and prioritization tools

The pricing page includes sorting, prioritization, imported applicants, strength and weakness review, and custom instructions for evaluation.

Automated rejection emails

The product offers automatic rejection emails with customizable templates, reducing the need for manual follow-up on unqualified applicants.

Use cases

  • High-volume applicant screening

    Hiring teams that receive a high volume of applications can use Applicant AI to sort candidates before a recruiter spends time reading every CV.

  • Pre-filtering an existing ATS

    Companies already using an ATS can place Applicant AI in front of that system to filter out low-fit candidates before they enter the main pipeline.

  • Structured pre-screening

    Teams that want a structured first pass can use the custom form and scoring step as a lightweight screening interview before moving candidates forward.

  • Automated applicant follow-up

    Recruiters who want to reduce repetitive admin can use the automatic rejection email templates for applicants who do not meet the screening threshold.

  • Comparing and prioritizing applicants

    Organizations that need to compare candidate quality consistently can review imported applicants, their strength and weakness signals, and custom instructions in one workflow.
