What is AI candidate screening software?

Reviewed October 12, 2026

AI candidate screening software helps hiring teams evaluate applicants against the requirements of a role. Depending on the tool, screening may involve reviewing resumes, asking qualifying questions, or conducting an interview.

Aeviya screens candidates through structured AI interviews in text, voice, or video. It evaluates their responses against criteria you set for the role and delivers a ranked shortlist with supporting rationale, so your team can decide who to meet next.

How it works

With Aeviya, screening follows four steps: define what matters for the role, interview qualified applicants, compare their responses, and review your finalists.

  1. 1

    Set the criteria for the role

    Define the skills and competencies your team needs to evaluate. Bring applicants into Aeviya through your ATS, email, or a hosted application link. Resume parsing helps organize their experience into candidate profiles.

  2. 2

    Let candidates complete an AI interview

    Qualified applicants answer role-specific questions in text, voice, or video. Interviews can take place around the clock, giving candidates flexibility and reducing the need to schedule an initial recruiter call.

  3. 3

    Compare responses against your criteria

    Aeviya scores interview responses against your role-specific criteria and ranks candidates with an explanation of the evaluation. Your team has a consistent basis for reviewing completed interviews.

  4. 4

    Review your shortlist

    Choose the finalists you want to activate for human review. Use their evaluations to prepare for the next conversation, and export reports for handoff to your ATS.

What to know before you start

  • Your team sets the evaluation criteria and makes the hiring decision. Review the supporting responses as well as the scores.
  • A completed interview provides information that a resume alone cannot. Track interview completion so you can follow up with candidates who still need to finish.
  • Confirm the intake and export process for your ATS during setup.
