Structured candidate screening for faster, better shortlists
Built for recruiters who want speed, consistency, and control.
JD Align helps recruiter teams turn job criteria into consistent, evidence-based shortlist decisions. You stay in control while AI reduces manual resume triage.
Rank candidates before reviewing resumes, with clear, explainable match reasons.
It is designed to support screening, shortlisting, and recruiter workflow together — not just produce a score and stop there.
Fast facts
Our mission
Make shortlisting faster, fairer, and evidence-based — so strong candidates are surfaced early and recruiters spend time on decisions, not admin.
JD Align is built for practical recruiter workflows. That means helping teams move from application intake to ranked shortlist with clearer reasons, stronger consistency, and more confidence in why candidates were prioritised.
What JD Align fixes
Manual resume triage that burns recruiter hours
Inconsistent shortlist decisions across recruiters
Weak decision traceability for stakeholders and compliance
Screening tools that stop at scoring instead of supporting workflow
How it works
Set required and preferable criteria, weighting, and status rules for a consistent screening baseline.
Turn on public visibility when ready, share your job link, and collect applications directly into screening.
Review explainable score reasons, shortlist high-fit candidates faster, and keep a traceable decision record.
JD Align is designed to support the real workflow after candidate scoring begins. Recruiters can review ranked applicants, understand the reasoning behind the ranking, and move stronger candidates forward without losing control of the final shortlist.
Why JD Align is different
Not just resume scoring
Many tools stop at ranking candidates. JD Align is built to support screening, shortlist review, candidate comparison, and recruiter workflow after the first score is generated.
Explainable by design
Recruiters can review transparent match reasons instead of relying on black-box output. That makes shortlist decisions easier to understand, share, and defend.
Recruiter-controlled workflow
JD Align supports recruiter-led hiring. AI assists with ranking and reasoning, but recruiters stay in control of who moves forward and how final decisions are made.
Practical for real hiring volume
JD Align is built for roles that attract meaningful applicant volume and need a faster, more consistent path from resume intake to shortlist.
