Subject: Seeking Recommendations for Candidate Screening Software
Hello everyone,
We recently posted a job opening for an AI engineer on LinkedIn and received an overwhelming response—1400 resumes in just three days!
Given that all the resumes are on LinkedIn, I’m curious if there’s a way to perform a bulk analysis to swiftly identify the top candidates.
Additionally, if anyone has tips or strategies to streamline the review process, I would greatly appreciate your insights, as I need to finalize this in the next couple of days.
Thank you!

Hi!
It sounds like you’ve had an overwhelming response to your job posting! Here are some suggestions to help you efficiently screen those resumes:
Use LinkedIn’s Built-in Tools: LinkedIn has several features, such as candidate insights and the ability to filter applicants by various criteria. Make sure to utilize those to narrow down your pool based on essential qualifications.
Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS): If you haven’t already, consider using an ATS that integrates with LinkedIn, such as Greenhouse, Lever, or Workable. These systems can help you perform keyword searches, rank candidates based on their resumes, and even automate parts of the review process.
Automated Screening Tools: There are dedicated resume screening tools like HireVue, Pymetrics, or Hiretual that use AI to analyze resumes. They can help identify candidates who meet your specific criteria more quickly.
Create a Must-Have and Nice-to-Have List: Clearly define the skills, experiences, and qualifications that are non-negotiable (like specific programming languages or experience with certain tools) versus those that would be beneficial. This will help you quickly eliminate candidates who don’t meet the minimum requirements.
Collaborate with Your Team: If possible, involve your team in the screening process. Distributing the resumes among team members can speed up the review process and provide a range of perspectives on each candidate.
Initial Phone Screens: Consider scheduling quick initial phone interviews with a select group of candidates to further assess their fit for the role before diving deeper into the full interview process.
Set Up Criteria for Fast Rejections: If a candidate clearly doesn’t meet certain key criteria, don’t hesitate to reject them quickly rather than spending time on a deeper review.
Good luck with your search, and I hope you find the right candidate soon!
