How Automated Do You Want Your AI Resume Screening Process to Be? With Brainner, You Decide.

Introduction

In modern recruiting, speed is essential — but so is control. As hiring teams manage growing volumes of applicants with limited bandwidth, the real challenge becomes clear: how do you streamline resume screening without losing visibility or flexibility?

At Brainner, we believe the solution isn’t “all or nothing.” Instead, we’ve built a platform that lets you choose how automated your resume screening process should be — based on your preferences, hiring volume, and team dynamics.

Let’s walk through how that works.

Seamless Sync with Your ATS

Brainner AI resume screening software offers a fully integrated, bi-directional experience with your ATS. This means:

• Everything you do in Brainner updates automatically in your ATS

• Everything in your ATS — including job descriptions and candidate profiles — syncs with Brainner in real time

There’s no double-handling or switching platforms. Just one smooth, centralized workflow.

AI Resume Screening: On Your Terms

Brainner is an AI-powered resume screening agent, designed to automate repetitive work like filtering and ranking resumes — without taking away your control.

Whether you want to automate the full process or stay hands-on, Brainner gives you complete flexibility. Here’s how:

🔍 Step 1: Define Criteria Based on the Job Description

Fully automated.

You don’t need to paste a job description — Brainner pulls it directly from your ATS the moment a new job is created. From there, it instantly suggests a set of criteria purely based on job description requirements, ensuring relevancy and precision from the start.

✏️ Step 2: Customize the Criteria

Automated or manual — up to you.

• Accept Brainner’s suggestions as-is
• Add your own criteria or custom rules
• Adjust weights to prioritize what matters most

You’re not locked into a rigid process. You can fine-tune the screening setup to fit each role, without starting from scratch every time.

This level of control is what sets Brainner apart from “black box” algorithms.

⚙️ Step 3: Analyze Candidates

Real-time or manual. Your choice.

As candidates apply, Brainner can analyze their resumes automatically in real time — scoring them against your predefined criteria the moment they enter your pipeline.

Prefer to manage candidate flow more deliberately? You can disable auto-screening and import candidates manually when you’re ready.

Either way, you’re in charge of the volume and pace.

✅ Step 4: Advance or Archive Candidates

Fully automated, semi-automated, or manual — you choose.

Brainner’s Automation Rules allow you to:

• Automatically archive candidates who don’t meet mandatory requirements (e.g., location, language, certifications)
• Automatically advance top candidates who meet all required criteria or score above a predefined threshold (e.g., 85+)

These actions are synced directly with your ATS — for example, if a candidate doesn’t meet the location requirement, they can be archived with the correct rejection reason in the ATS. If a candidate exceeds the scoring threshold, they can be advanced to a dedicated “Brainner Review” stage, ready for your final evaluation.

Prefer a manual touch? Brainner also lets you navigate all profiles easily, apply filters based on criteria met, and make decisions in bulk.

Conclusion

Recruiting isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some teams want to automate everything. Others want visibility and control at every step.

With Brainner, you don’t have to choose. You can:

✅ Fully automate resume screening and watch candidates move automatically between stages in your ATS

🔍 Or take a more hands-on approach, manually reviewing and adjusting where needed

Either way, you’re hiring faster, smarter, and with less effort.
