Step 1: Setting Up Workable’s AI Screening Assistant

Geoship needed a way to sift through dozens of applications without burning hours on unqualified resumes. We implemented Workable‘s AI-powered Screening Assistant to handle the heavy lifting.

Unlike outdated ATS systems that rely on keyword matching, Workable uses semantic matching to understand the meaning behind job titles, responsibilities, and experiences.

Features we activated:

• Semantic Matching: Understands phrasing differences, not just exact matches
• Smart Leaderboards: Ranks resumes by how many of the job requirements are met
• Automated Summaries: Delivers an at-a-glance overview of each applicant’s strengths and weaknesses.

   

Once candidates were screened and scored in Workable, we sent their data directly to a customized Monday.com hiring board via automation.

Each candidate is automatically moved to the correct pipeline stage, triggering specific actions depending on their score and interview status.

Key automations:

1. Top Candidates ➔ Interview Invite: Auto-email sent with Calendly link to schedule interviews
2. Low-fit Candidates ➔ Thank You Note: Auto-email letting them know they weren’t selected
3. Pipeline Progress Dashboard: Real-time visibility for hiring managers and stakeholders
   
   

Step 3: Automating the Interview & Decision Flow

Once interviews begin, AlignCoach set up an automated feedback and scoring system for Geoship’s internal team. After each interview:

• The interviewer receives a prompt to score the candidate (1–5) on key competencies.
• Scores populate in the Monday.com dashboard automatically.
• The system flags top candidates for final interviews.
  
  

In the case of Geoship, this enabled:

• A 40% reduction of time spent on manual tasks that can be automated
• Clear, centralized decision-making across stakeholders
  
  

Step 4: AI-Supported Hiring Finalization & Onboarding

Once a candidate was selected, our workflow took care of the rest.

Automation included:

• Offer Letter Generation using templates
• E-signature collection via integrated tools
• Onboarding Task Checklist auto-assigned in Monday.com
• Slack automation to alert relevant team members of the new hire
  
  

For Geoship, this resulted in:

• Faster onboarding (2x speed compared to previous process)
• Improved retention rate due to a seamless new hire experience
  
  
  

Results: AI for resume screening by the Numbers

Using AI for resume screening with Workable + Monday.com integrations, here are the measurable results:

• 20+ hours saved per hire
• 40% reduction in hiring costs
• Higher retention, better talent, faster
  
  

All of this can be achieved in under 30 days of implementation.

Why This Works: AI for Resume Screening = Smart Hiring at Scale

Let’s be real: manual resume screening isn’t just slow—it’s error-prone, biased, and outdated. AI helps level the playing field by:

• Looking beyond surface-level keywords
• Understanding nuance in experience and skill
• Removing unconscious bias in the early screening phase
  
  

With Workable, you don’t miss out on top talent because their resume is formatted differently. And with AlignCoach’s automation, your team gets to focus on interviewing top candidates, not chasing email threads.
