At your company, how are applications screened? Curious if it's through software or if someone in HR goes through them manual. If it's through software, what does it look for?

We review each one manually.

Should add 20k employee company. Part of larger 80k employee holding co. All recruiters review each application.

We review each of ours manually as well. I feel like sometimes when people use software to screen candidates they miss out on good candidates because the software filters their resumes out.

Agreed. Also a ton of resumes that apply for 1 role might be better for another that is about to be posted, or already is and the applicant didn’t see it. I don’t know of any tech that can screen resumes across multiple openings!

Interesting to see how much manual review is still the go to, even at large companies. I get the concern with software, but I wonder if there’s value in tools that help compare candidates more fairly by considering their background and context.

I’m working on something called case (candidate select) Scores that tries to support that. Curious about what you think... Could something like that help, or do you feel manual review is still the most reliable?

Anyone have any good Straterra experiences?

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.
