What is AI-powered candidate screening?

AI-powered candidate screening is the process of using artificial intelligence to automatically evaluate job applicants based on their CVs, application form answers, and other signals. Krinai does this by parsing resumes with NLP, judging open-ended answers with a large language model (LLM), and calculating a composite score across 9 behavioural dimensions — all without human bias.

What are the 9 dimensions Krinai uses to score candidates?

Krinai evaluates every candidate across 9 dimensions: (1) Skills Matching — semantic alignment of candidate skills to role requirements, (2) Experience Depth — years, seniority, and domain relevance, (3) Education — degree level, field, and institutional fit, (4) Form Answer Quality — LLM-judged rubric scoring on open-ended answers, (5) Achievements — quantified impact statements extracted from the CV, (6) Soft Skills — communication, leadership, and teamwork signals, (7) Cultural Fit — values alignment with the hiring persona, (8) Red Flag Analysis — anomaly detection, employment gaps, and inconsistencies, (9) Custom Criteria — recruiter-defined rubric rules with configurable weights.

How does Krinai eliminate hiring bias?

Krinai removes bias through several mechanisms: a blind review mode that hides candidate demographics from reviewers, AI-generated job descriptions with inclusive language scoring, standardised rubric-based evaluation for every candidate (no gut-feel decisions), and a hiring panel with consensus tracking. Every scoring decision is auditable and transparent.

How long does it take to screen candidates with Krinai?

Krinai screens candidates in real time as applications arrive. The AI engine parses a CV and evaluates all 9 dimensions in seconds, with results pushed to the recruiter dashboard via WebSocket.
