Screen Candidates
Get candidates into your pipeline and let SIA take it from there
Once your workflow is active, you're ready to start bringing candidates in. From here, the platform handles the heavy lifting — automatically screening, scoring, and moving candidates through the pipeline based on the workflow you've set up.
1. Open your workflow
Navigate to the workflow you've set up for the role. Once you open it, you'll land on the Candidate Listing page — this is your central view for managing all candidates for this role.
From the Candidate Listing page, you can:
- View all candidates added to the workflow
- See their current stage and status at a glance
- Take actions on individual candidates
2. Add Candidates
To bring candidates into the workflow, click Screen Candidates in the top-right corner of the Candidate Listing page.
You can add candidates in bulk (upto 50 at a time) or individually depending on your preference and how many you're working with.
Candidates added here will immediately enter the workflow. If Resume Matching is enabled, the system will begin evaluating them as soon as they're added.
3. Evaluate Candidates
Once candidates are in the pipeline, SIA starts the resume screening process automatically. SIA analyses each candidate's resume against your configured matching strategy - no manual scoring needed.
As each resume is processed, candidates begin appearing in the Resume Matching stage with key details like their recent role, total experience, and matching grade — making it easy to identify strong fits quickly.
Once the screening process is complete, each candidate is automatically assigned a grade.
Grades are calculated based on how well the candidate matches the job requirements defined in your matching strategy. Here's what each grade means at a glance:
| Grade | What it means |
|---|---|
| A | Excellent match — strong candidate to prioritise |
| B | Good match — worth reviewing in detail |
| C | Moderate match — may meet some but not all requirements |
| D | Weak match — significant gaps against requirements |
| E | Poor match — does not meet the role requirements |
If you have automation rules set up in your workflow, candidates will automatically move to the next stage based on their grade — no manual action required. For example, a grade A or B might automatically trigger the AI Prescreening Agent.
5. What's next?
Once candidates are graded, you can:
- Review Matching Insights for a detailed breakdown of how each candidate was evaluated → AI Matching Report Card
- Let automation handle progression — if Hiring Automation is enabled, candidates move stages automatically based on the rules you've configured
- Manually move candidates — you can manually progress a candidate to the next stage at any time. Click the respective agent action (Trigger AI Prescreening or Trigger AI Interview) directly from the Candidate Listing page.
