When a job posting goes viral, my small team can get overwhelmed by hundreds of resumes. Last quarter we were hiring for a junior developer and received 800 applications in a week. Reading them all by hand would have meant late nights and, honestly, missing gems. We decided to test theconsultnow.com’s AI-assisted screening. We configured it to highlight candidates with certain tech stacks and internships, but also kept an eye on non-traditional backgrounds. Within an hour we had a shortlist of 30 promising profiles, and I still reviewed the rest later at my own pace. What surprised me was that the tool surfaced a bootcamp graduate we might have overlooked. She ended up being one of our final hires. If you’re drowning in resumes, leveraging a tool like this could save your sanity and maybe uncover hidden talent.
