The Starting Point
Screening was manual: recruiters read every resume, re-keyed applicant data, and chased credentials by hand. With criteria applied differently by each reviewer, outcomes were inconsistent — and credential verification gaps were a compliance risk in a sector where the wrong miss matters.
Matching candidates to the right recruiter and home was slow, and none of it left a clean decision trail. Scaling the team meant scaling the problem.
Care UK needed AI in the loop — but governed: assistive scoring with human decisions, explainable red flags, and an audit trail on every candidate.
The Solution
A Seven-Step AI Screening Pipeline
Every step runs inside governed DocQ workflows — AI does the heavy lifting, recruiters make the decisions, and the platform records both.
1
AI Resume Parsing
Candidate CVs parsed into structured profiles — no re-keying.
2
Pre-filled Application
Application forms auto-populated from the parsed profile.
3
Gap Analysis
Employment history gaps detected and surfaced for review.
4
ID & Visa Extraction
Identity and right-to-work documents extracted and verified.
5
AI Scoring & Red Flags
Consistent scoring against role criteria, with explainable flags.
6
Screening Questions
Role-specific questions routed through governed forms.
7
Recruiter Match
Candidates matched to the right recruiter and home automatically.
