REVIEWABLE SCORING RATIONALE | FOUR SCORING DIMENSIONS | HUMAN DECISIONS STAY IN CONTROL

A clearer first pass

Move from inbox to shortlist with context intact.

StackRank organizes the evidence so you can spend less time sorting and more time making considered decisions.

01

Review fewer resumes

Start with a ranked shortlist instead of working through every file in submission order.

02

Understand every score

See the evidence, gaps, and reasoning behind each recommendation—not just a number.

03

Keep the decision human

Use AI as a structured first filter while your team retains judgment and accountability.

How it works

Three steps to a ranked shortlist.

No complex setup, integrations, or seat licenses. Start with the hiring materials you already have.

Step 01

Define the role

Upload a PDF or DOCX job description. StackRank identifies the requirements, seniority, and must-have capabilities.

Step 02

Add the resumes

Upload up to 10 resumes per batch. Each candidate is evaluated against the same role-specific criteria.

Step 03

Review the evidence

Compare the ranked shortlist, inspect the rationale, and add notes before deciding who moves forward.

Transparent methodology

A score you can interrogate.

Every recommendation is grounded in four reviewable dimensions, adjusted for the seniority and requirements of the role.

StackRank surfaces written evidence and career context for review. It does not replace interviews, references, or human judgment.

Skills match

0–25 points

Whether required capabilities are demonstrated with context rather than listed as unsupported keywords.

Experience relevance

0–25 points

How closely past responsibilities, outcomes, and domain experience map to the role being filled.

Seniority alignment

0–25 points

Whether the scope and impact described in the resume support the expected level of responsibility.

Career context

0–25 points

Progression, role duration, and timeline information presented for your team to assess in context.

Responsible by design

Useful AI needs visible boundaries.

Hiring decisions affect people. StackRank is designed as an advisory first-filter, with reviewable reasoning and clear limits on what it can assess.
