AI screening: what it is and how to use it

I'm sure it's already happened to you. You post a job offer and, in a matter of days, hundreds of resumes flood your inbox. Some barely meet the requirements, others seem promising, but, among so many options, the risk of losing valuable talent or being carried away by unconscious biases is high. This is where Artificial Intelligence applied to the screening of CVs comes into play.

Screening with AI or CV screening with AI is helping recruitment teams to be faster, more accurate and objective. But how exactly does it work and what are its real benefits?

What is AI screening?

AI screening is an automated process that uses advanced algorithms to analyze and filter large volumes of applications in a matter of minutes. It's not just about looking for keywords in CVs, but about understanding the context, evaluating experience and predicting which candidates have the greatest potential for a position.

With tools such as Velora, selection teams can define personalized criteria, from technical skills to cultural values, and AI takes care of the rest: it reviews, classifies and prioritizes candidates so that the human team can focus on the most promising profiles.

Advantages of using AI in resume screening

1. Efficiency: Say goodbye to the endless pile of resumes

Manual CV screening is one of the most tedious tasks and consumes valuable time that could be spent connecting with candidates. With AI, instead of spending hours reviewing apps, you get an optimized list of the best profiles in minutes.

2. Objective Selection: Less Bias, Better Decisions

Unlike the human eye, which can be influenced by aspects such as the name, age or CV design, AI is based on objective data. This means fairer selections aligned with the real requirements of the position.

3. Accuracy: Find talent you might have overlooked

Algorithms can identify patterns in CVs that perhaps weren't obvious to the naked eye. For example, a candidate with experience in a different industry, but with highly transferable skills, could have been ruled out in manual screening. AI detects it and gives it the opportunity it deserves.

4. Speed without losing quality

Reducing hiring time is key to not losing talent in competitive markets. An agile process prevents the best candidates from leaving with the competition before you finish reviewing half of the resumes.

How to implement AI screening in your company?

If you're ready to say goodbye to manual processes and make the leap to a smarter selection, here are the key steps:

1. Define the selection criteria: Skills, experience, key competencies... AI needs to know what to look for.
2. Integrate a screening tool with AI: Platforms like Velora allow you to automate the process in a simple way.
3. Monitor and adjust: Even if AI does the heavy lifting, a human review is always recommended to ensure alignment with the company's culture and values.
4. Evaluate and improve: Analyze the results and adjust the criteria based on hiring performance.

AI screening is not the future: It's the present of talent selection. Companies in all sectors are already taking advantage of their potential to optimize processes, reduce time and ensure fairer and more effective selections.
