Ranked, explainable candidate screening for small teams·siftfirst.com

SiftFirst is a browser-based resume-screening tool for small teams without an HR department. Users paste a job description and a pile of resumes (PDF, DOCX, ZIP, or CSV), and it scores and ranks every candidate against a human-editable rubric, with a quoted line from the resume backing each score. It also offers interview question and scorecard generation, an AI-written-resume signal, and compliance tools for AI-hiring regulations, while leaving every hiring decision to the human user.
