The premise
Automated resume screening is regulated in the US (NYC, IL) and EU AI Act; doing it well requires explicit job-related criteria and human-in-the-loop, not vibe ranking.
What AI does well here
- Generate a structured rubric from a job description
- Extract specific experience signals from a resume
- Draft thoughtful screening questions
- Help write inclusive job descriptions
What AI cannot do
- Replace human judgment on culture or potential
- Avoid bias from training data
- Handle protected characteristics legally on its own
- Promise compliance with hiring law
