Hiring intake software · In development
Find résumés that fit the role.
First Read compares the work described in each résumé with the job’s requirements. Hiring teams can see which requirements an applicant’s experience supports and why.
- Role requirement
- Lead the response to a live service incident.
- From the résumé
“Led outage calls, assigned recovery tasks, and decided when to restore traffic.”
- Why it matches
- The applicant directed the recovery and made the call to restore service.
Where Boolean search falls short
A search for “incident response” AND “on-call” can miss the résumé above, even though it describes someone leading an incident. The same search could return a résumé that uses both phrases to describe attending the calls.
Boolean search finds the words you specify. The next step is to match what someone did to what the job calls for. First Read shows the experience behind each match, even when the wording differs.
How it works
- Start with the job. The hiring team checks and approves the requirements before collecting applications.
- Read the work in context. Applicants can check and correct their work history. Reviewers can see the role they held, what they were responsible for, and what happened.
- See where the experience fits. First Read shows which requirements the résumé supports and where there’s too little detail to tell.
