ATS Pal is the screening layer your ATS doesn't have. Upload a job description and a stack of resumes; get a ranked shortlist with the reason behind every score, so you spend interview time on the right people.
A glimpse of how a recruiter filters and reviews candidates against the actual requirements, with reasoning attached to every score.
Your ATS searches for keywords.
We evaluate the actual requirements, like an experienced recruiter does.
The reason great candidates get rejected isn't your team. It's keyword matching.
Three things shift the day you switch on screening that actually understands your requirements.
Every candidate gets a score with the reason behind it, which requirements they meet, which they miss, and where they're stretching. Hand it to your hiring manager without a follow-up meeting.
A typical recruiter spends 15–20 minutes scanning each resume manually. ATS Pal returns a ranked shortlist in roughly 30 seconds per resume, processed in parallel, so a 100-resume role becomes a coffee break.
Anyone who clears every must-have requirement gets the Pal Approved mark. Even if your filters are aggressive, those candidates stay visible, so you don't lose strong people to over-filtering.

Everyone knows how a standard ATS works, so candidates stuff their resume with keywords until they pass. We were wasting hours interviewing "top matches" who turned out to be polished resume writers, not strong engineers. ATSPAL evaluates what's actually behind the keywords. When it scores someone 92%, I trust that score.
The biggest time-sink for me isn't reading resumes, it's hunting for the specific things our hiring manager asked for across 80 resumes in 12 different formats. ATSPAL reads the JD, extracts every requirement, and scores each resume against it automatically. I upload and the shortlist is ready. I can still drill in with my own filters when I want, but most weeks I don't need to.
I'll be honest: this is dangerous. I used it for one role and now I refuse to screen manually again. My boss asked me to test a competitor's tool last week, I couldn't do it without comparing back to ATSPAL. Once you see the per-requirement breakdown, you can't unsee it.
My job actually changed. I used to send shortlists and explain them in a follow-up call. Now I send the shortlist with reasoning attached and the hiring manager argues with the candidates, not with how I picked them. The conversations got 10× better.
Some of our roles are French-only, others English-only, and a few accept both. ATSPAL handles each without changing settings, same workflow, same scoring rigour, regardless of resume language. We stopped maintaining two screening processes.
Posted a senior engineer role, got 340 applicants. I never opened a single resume cold. ATSPAL surfaced 18 candidates worth looking at, with reasons. I interviewed 7. We hired 2. The hours I would have spent screening went into talking to the people worth talking to.
Your ATS collects applicants, schedules interviews, and tracks offers. That's its job. The thing it never solved is the part you actually dread: reading every resume and ranking them honestly. That's our job.
No. ATS Pal does the part recruiters dread, reading every resume the same way, on a tight clock, so recruiters can spend their time on the candidates worth talking to. Decisions, conversations, and judgment calls stay where they belong: with your team.
No. Keep Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, BambooHR, or whatever you use. ATS Pal complements it, you can paste resumes from your ATS in seconds, or wire it up properly with the ATS Bridge on Enterprise.
In our benchmarks, our rankings agreed with what experienced recruiters and hiring managers picked 92% of the time. The honest test: try it on resumes you've already screened and compare.
Never. Resumes are processed strictly to produce your analysis, not shared with third parties, not used to train anyone's models, not held longer than you need. See Security for the full picture.
