Resume Screening

Say goodbye to basic keyword filters: Resume screening in HeyMilo contextually evaluates resumes against your chosen requirements, scoring and ranks candidates so you can focus on the best fits first.
Meet Roscoe the Resume Screener 🐾 your AI-powered teammate for reviewing resumes. Roscoe checks each application for must-have qualifications, scores candidates using your custom rules, and organizes results so top talent rises to the top!
💡 Pro Tip: Place resume screening at the start of your hiring flow so Roscoe can filter and rank applicants before more time-intensive steps like AI interviews.

When Resume Screening Works Best

Use Resume Screening when you want to:
  • Filter large applicant pools early
  • Enforce must-have experience or credentials
  • Rank candidates before interviews
  • Reduce time spent reviewing unqualified resumes

  • Reduce resources spent interviewing unqualified candidates

Step 3 — Define Required Qualifications (Dealbreakers)

In Questions & Scoring → Required Qualifications, you define what candidates must have.
For each qualification, you can:
  • Edit the wording
  • Mark it as pass/fail
  • Reorder qualifications
  • Reuse criteria from other roles
You can always start from scratch as well. Add, delete, or edit qualifications as desired.

Step 4 — Define Scored Evaluation Criteria

In Evaluation Criteria, you define how resumes are scored and ranked.
Each scoring criterion includes:
  • What to look for
  • What a strong resume looks like (Score of 5)
  • What a weak resume looks like (Score of 1)
💡 Turning on Enforce Criteria helps prevent unqualified candidates from moving into more costly screenings like AI interviews.

Step 8 — Review Resume Screening Results

Resume results appear directly in the candidate profile under the Resume tab (along with other agents layered in).You’ll see three tabs:
  • PDF: the candidate’s original resume
  • Eligibility: required qualifications, pass/fail results, and explanations
  • Scorecard: score summary, detailed evaluation, and reasoning for each criterion
This makes it clear why candidates pass, fail, or rank higher before moving them onto other critical stages. Additionally, sort + filter to prioritize top matches!
