Job Specifications - Resume Screening and Matching

Last updated: May 12, 2026

TL;DR: GoodTime's AI Agent as part of the Agentic Plan can instantly evaluate applicants and automatically prioritize top talent based on role-specific criteria, streamlining your hiring process from the start. With instant, AI-summarized match insights, you can confidently advance the right candidates to the next stage. Agents also extract and organize job requirements for each posting, making it easy to customize criteria and ensure alignment with your team’s unique hiring needs.

 

1.  AI-Powered Job Requirement Extraction

As soon as a job is created or posted:

  • GoodTime’s AI scans the public-facing job description.

  • It extracts and categorizes the job requirements into three key buckets:

    • Required: Deal-breakers. If the candidate doesn’t meet these, they’re not a match.

    • Ideal Candidate: Ideal qualifications, but with some flexibility.

    • Nice-to-Have: Additional attributes that enhance a candidate’s fit.

You can drag & drop between the 3 buckets to widen or narrow your qualification parameters. Plus, you can manually add, edit, or delete any of the listed requirements directly from this page.

 


2. Automated AI Candidate Matching

  • Each incoming applicant is automatically evaluated in real time.

  • Candidates are scored and sorted in the pipeline based on how well they match the job requirements.

  • Highly-matched candidates appear at the top of your list.

  • Candidates with low matches appear at the bottom—allowing recruiters to quickly respond or disqualify in batches.

 Example in Action

When a candidate applies:

  • The AI evaluates them instantly.

  • If they are a strong match:

    • They’re moved to the next stage (requires Workflow Automation).

    • They receive a message (text/email) with a scheduling link.

    • They self-schedule their interview—all without manual recruiter involvement.

Candidates who don’t meet the requirements can be identified and responded to quickly, helping close the loop and maintain a positive candidate experience.
