How AI Resume Screening Software Saved Recruiters 4 Years of Manual Work

Introduction

We Just Gave Recruiters Back 4 Years of Their Lives. (Yes, Really.)

Resume screening is one of the most time-consuming, repetitive, and underappreciated parts of the hiring process.

And in 2025, we proved just how much time can be saved when you stop doing it manually.

At Brainner, we recently hit a major milestone:

✅ 1,000,000 candidate analyses completed using our AI-powered resume screening software.

That translates to real time saved:

• 500,000 minutes recruiters didn’t spend opening resumes
• 8,333 hours of work given back to Talent Acquisition teams
• 1,041 workdays reclaimed
• That’s 4 full work years saved — and counting

Why Resume Screening Is Broken

Traditional resume screening is slow and inefficient — not because recruiters are doing something wrong, but because they’re forced to work like this:

• Opening resumes one by one
• Skimming for keywords that match the job description
• Copy-pasting notes into spreadsheets or ATS fields
• Trying to compare dozens (or hundreds) of candidates manually
• Struggling to get hiring managers aligned on what “good” looks like

This process isn’t just painful — it creates risk:

• Top candidates slip through

• Unqualified applicants take up time

• Time-to-hire increases

• Hiring managers lose confidence in the pipeline

When you’re screening 100, 200, or even 500 applicants for a single role, it’s no longer a recruiter problem.

It’s a systems problem.

Enter Brainner: Resume Screening Software That Works for You

Brainner is an AI-powered resume screening software built to plug into your existing hiring stack — including Greenhouse, Lever, Recruitee, Workable, and Zoho Recruit.

Here’s how it works:

1. You define the requirements for the role — must-have and nice-to-have criteria
2. Brainner automatically screens every applicant against those requirements
3. You get a ranked list of candidates based on how well they match — with full transparency
4. Each profile includes a detailed explanation of what the candidate meets (and what they don’t)
5. You can filter, tag, comment, shortlist, and reject in bulk — all in one place
6. Sync all actions back to your ATS, automatically

You’re not replacing recruiters — you’re giving them a 100x faster, structured way to do what they’re already doing manually.

⏳ Time Saved = Time to Focus

The 4 years we helped recruiters win back weren’t just numbers on a dashboard.

They were time teams used to:

• Start interviews days earlier
• Align faster with hiring managers
• Improve the candidate experience
• Reduce burnout and context switching
• Get ahead of their pipeline instead of constantly playing catch-up

Brainner doesn’t just make screening faster — it makes your entire hiring process more predictable, structured, and human.

Built for Scale, Designed for Control

Unlike black-box AI tools, Brainner puts you in control:

• You define the criteria
• You decide the weights
• You see exactly how every decision is made
• You make the final call

This makes Brainner not only faster — but also compliant, auditable, and easy to align with hiring managers.

And because we integrate with platforms like Greenhouse, Lever, Recruitee, Zoho Recruit, and Workable, you don’t have to change your workflow to get started.

So, What Will You Do With the Time Brainner Gives You?

The question isn’t whether to use AI for resume screening anymore.

It’s how to use the time AI gives back to you.

With 1,000,000+ candidates analyzed, Brainner has helped teams reclaim thousands of hours — and redirected that time into hiring faster, better, and smarter.
