AI Insights helps recruiters and hiring teams identify applicants who match your job requirements, even when they don’t use exact keywords. Instead of relying on manual filtering or word-for-word searches, AI Insights uses contextual understanding to highlight applicants based on their skills, experience, and background.

This feature is especially helpful when you're screening large applicant pools or looking for hidden potential beyond what's immediately visible in a resume.

Enable AI Insights in settings

  • Navigate to Settings > AI Assistant > AI Insights

  • Toggle the feature on

  • Choose who can use the feature:

    • Admin

    • Recruiter

    • Hiring Manager

    • Reader

    • Custom

  • (Optional) Add a custom teaching prompt to guide the AI Assistant on what to prioritize

Use AI Search in the Application Listing View

  • Open a position

  • In the top-right corner, locate the AI Insights search bar

  • Enter a specific skill or attribute you're looking for
    Examples:

    • “Marketing skills”

    • “Experience with CRM tools”

    • “7+ years in customer service”

Review Application Matches

  • Applicants will be highlighted with AI Insights results:

    • Full Match: Skill or attribute clearly mentioned

    • ⚠️ Partial Match: Related context found, but not an exact match

    • 🚫 No Match: Attribute not found

  • A short explanation appears under each applicant to justify the match level

Common Issues

Issue

Solution

Search takes too long

Wait a few seconds — AI processing may take a moment if you have a large pool

No matches shown

Try rephrasing the skill/attribute or use more general terms

“Processing AI Insights, please wait...

…” keeps loading

Refresh the page or check your internet connection

Not seeing the AI search bar

Make sure AI Insights is enabled for your user role in Settings

Additional Tips

  • You can combine AI search with standard filters (e.g. job role, application stage) to narrow down results

  • Use AI Insights during hiring team reviews to support more inclusive and skills-based evaluation

  • Avoid overly generic terms (e.g. “good communication”) and be as specific as possible to get the most relevant matches
