How screening works

How resume scoring and the AI interview work

You post a role once. Swissmote scores every resume against that role, the strongest candidates take a short AI interview, and you get a ranked shortlist with the reasons behind each score.

The resume score is for the job you posted

Swissmote reads each resume against the requirements of that role: the skills you asked for, the experience the work needs, and how the candidate fits the job. A generic keyword match is a different task. Here the score belongs to this opening, and the reasons sit next to the number so you can see why someone ranked where they did.

Every applicant is scored. You do not have to open the pile before the ranking exists. People who pass that screen move to the interview.

The interview is about their real work

Candidates who pass the resume screen take a short AI interview. They explain their own projects and experience, and they answer questions about the role. The interview is there so you can see how they talk about work they have done, alongside what the resume claims.

Answers are scored and summarized in a report. On the shortlist, a candidate can include the interview score, a written reason, an answer transcript, and a recording. You can open the report behind every number.

The shortlist is what you review

The shortlist is a ranked list of the strongest candidates for that job. Each person shows a resume match score, an interview score, an overall fit score, a short summary, and key skills. You review that list and decide who to interview and who to hire. Swissmote coordinates the interviews you want to run.

The same flow covers software engineers, full stack and frontend developers, AI and machine learning engineers, and data analysts. Roles can be onsite, hybrid, or remote, and full-time, contract, or internship. The placement fee is shown when you create the job and charged when you hire.
