Please note: AI Candidate Summary is currently a beta feature. Functionality, settings, and availability may change before general release.

AI Candidate Summary gives your team a structured, AI-generated overview of each candidate, aggregated from their application and resume. Instead of reading through every document before an initial review, your team gets a concise starting point that surfaces key considerations, flags open questions, and suggests interview questions specific to that candidate's background.

AI Candidate Summary does not make hiring decisions or recommendations. It is a starting point for your review, not a substitute for it.

AI Candidate Summary Permissions

Who can view AI Candidate Summary?

Any user who "Can view all jobs" and "Can view all candidates." Alternatively, any user assigned as a hiring manager on a job or part of the hiring team.

Who can regenerate an AI Candidate Summary?

Any user who can view AI Candidate Summary results can also manually regenerate them.

Accessing AI Candidate Summary

AI Candidate Summary is available directly from the Candidate Drawer.

Open a candidate's profile by clicking their name from the pipeline view. The AI Candidate Summary section appears on the candidate's profile page. If a summary has not yet been generated, click "Generate AI Summary" to create one.

Understanding Your AI Candidate Summary

Each AI Candidate Summary is organized into four parts.

Summary overview - A narrative paragraph that synthesizes what AI identified across the candidate's application and resume. This gives reviewers a single starting point before diving into the candidate's full materials.

Considerations - Factors that may affect how a reviewer evaluates the candidate, based on what was or was not found in their submitted materials. Considerations flag both positive signals and gaps, so your team knows what to look for during a closer review.

Areas to Clarify - Open questions the summary surfaces based on ambiguities, missing information, or details that warrant follow-up.

Suggested Interview Questions - Questions tailored to the candidate's specific background and the areas flagged for clarification. These are generated from the candidate's actual materials, not a generic question bank.

Regenerating an AI Candidate Summary

Click "Re-generate AI Summary" at any time to refresh the summary for a candidate. Regenerating pulls from the candidate's most current application and resume, so if a candidate has updated their materials, regenerating ensures your team is working from the latest information.

Using AI Candidate Summary Responsibly

AI Candidate Summary is built to help your team get oriented on a candidate faster. Every hiring decision stays with you. AI Candidate Summary will not automatically advance or reject candidates.

What AI Candidate Summary does:

Aggregates information from a candidate's application and resume into a structured overview
Surfaces gaps, open questions, and suggested follow-up topics to support a more informed interview
Ensures candidates are informed that AI-assisted review may be part of the hiring process through an "AI Usage Notice" displayed during the application

What AI Candidate Summary does not do:

Make hiring decisions; results are meant to support your review, not replace it
Evaluate or factor in protected characteristics such as age, race, gender, religion, national origin, or disability status
Automatically advance or reject candidates based on the summary content
Use candidate data to train models or share it outside your organization's account

We recommend working with your legal or HR team to ensure your use of AI Candidate Summary aligns with your organization's policies and applicable regulations.

Candidate Consent

AI Candidate Summary results are available only for candidates who applied on or after June 1, 2026. This date reflects when candidate consent language was added to the application process. A candidate's application submission date serves as the record of consent.

Candidates who applied before June 1, 2026 will not have an AI Candidate Summary available and cannot be evaluated by AI Candidate Summary.

AI Usage Notice Shown to Candidates

Candidates applying on or after June 1, 2026 are presented with the following notice during the application process:

AI Usage Notice

This employer may use artificial intelligence ("AI") to assist in evaluating candidates and making hiring decisions. To the extent the employer is using AI, it will be used to analyze a candidate's video screening interview and to consider the candidate's fitness for a position. The AI used to assist in evaluating candidates and making hiring decisions will review a candidate's profile for employer-identified characteristics and may be used to conduct screening interviews. In the instance that AI will be used to conduct screening interviews, the AI will transcribe the interview and assist in analyzing applicant responses, including to match to employer-identified characteristics. The employer is not replacing human decision-making with AI and humans will be reviewing and ultimately making decisions relating to a candidate's application. As a candidate, you acknowledge and consent to the use of AI by employer in this manner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why don't I see an AI Candidate Summary for a candidate?

A: AI Candidate Summary may not be available for a candidate for a few reasons:

The candidate applied before June 1, 2026. Candidates who applied before consent language was added to the application process are not eligible for AI Candidate Summary. These candidates can still be reviewed manually.
A summary has not yet been generated. Click "Generate AI Summary" from the candidate's profile to create one.

Q: Can I use AI Candidate Summary instead of reading the full application?

A: AI Candidate Summary is a starting point, not a replacement for your full review. The summary captures what AI identified from the candidate's materials, but your own assessment of the application and resume is still essential to making a confident hiring decision.

Q: Does AI Candidate Summary evaluate protected characteristics?

A: No. AI Candidate Summary does not evaluate or factor in protected characteristics such as age, race, gender, religion, national origin, or disability status. It generates its output from job-related information found in the candidate's submitted materials.

Q: Can candidates see their AI Candidate Summary?

A: Candidates are informed at the time of application through a consent statement that AI-assisted review may be used in the hiring process. They do not see their individual AI Candidate Summary or its contents.

Q: Does AI Candidate Summary support multiple languages?

A: Resumes and applications written in languages other than English are recognized and analyzed by AI Candidate Summary. The summary output is generated in English.
