I built a tool to help recruiters decide who is good enough to send to clients
I’m a software engineer who spent the last months talking to recruiters and agencies.
What surprised me:
The hard part isn’t parsing CVs or extracting skills.
It’s deciding who is “good enough” to put in front of a client when you have 30–50 CVs.
Most ATSs stop at keyword matching.
Recruiters still end up manually reading and justifying shortlists.
So I built a small tool that:
- Takes a job description
- Scores candidates against it
- Produces a client-ready shortlist with reasoning
This is a real demo (no signup, no paywall):

I’m not sure yet if this becomes a real business or just a useful experiment.
I’d love honest feedback from people who’ve built tools for hiring, recruiting, or decision support.
