Collect resumes from various sources
Your task is to gather resumes from different sources such as job boards, company websites, and recruitment agencies. This is a crucial step to ensure a diverse pool of candidates. The collected resumes will be used for the screening process. Make sure to save the resumes in a dedicated folder for easy access.
Organize resumes into a dedicated folder
In this task, you need to organize the collected resumes into a dedicated folder. This will help maintain a structured and organized approach throughout the screening process. You can create subfolders based on source, position, or any other relevant categorization. This step will ensure easy retrieval and access to resumes when needed.
Open resume screening software
To start the screening process, open the resume screening software. This software will help automate the initial screening and categorization of resumes based on predefined qualification criteria. Ensure that you have the necessary access and login credentials to use the software.
Upload resumes into the software
In this task, you need to upload the collected resumes into the resume screening software. This will enable the software to analyze the resumes and generate initial screening results. Make sure to upload all the resumes from the dedicated folder created in the previous task.
Begin automated screening process

This process will help filter out candidates who do not meet the initial screening requirements. Monitor the progress and ensure the software completes the screening successfully.
Categorize initial results based on qualification criteria
Review the initial screening results provided by the software and categorize the resumes based on the qualification criteria. This step will help identify candidates who meet the required qualifications and those who do not. The categorization can be done using labels, folders, or any other suitable method to distinguish between the different qualification categories.
Review results of automated screening
Take a closer look at the results generated by the automated screening process. Review the categorization and ensure that the software accurately assessed the resumes. Identify any potential discrepancies or errors in the categorization and make the necessary adjustments.
