# SiftFirst

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/557564/SiftFirst

> SiftFirst is a candidate screening platform designed to rank job applicants and provide evidence-based explanations for each score. It is intended for small teams managing their own hiring processes without recruitment departments or applicant tracking systems. The platform is suited for organizations that receive multiple applications per role and need consistent, fair screening without manually reviewing resumes.

Hiring teams can set customizable evaluation criteria based on specific needs, such as technical skills, experience levels, or cultural fit indicators. SiftFirst processes various file formats, including PDFs, DOCX files, ZIP archives, and CSV exports. It can screen large volumes of resumes simultaneously, delivering results quickly. Each candidate score includes a direct quote from the resume as supporting evidence for easy verification. The platform operates entirely in the browser and does not require installation.

Features include natural language search for querying applicant pools, automated interview kit generation with tailored questions and scorecards, and real-time adjustments to criteria weights to observe ranking changes. Multiple reviewers can access shared screenings and contribute interview scores. Screening activities are tracked with a tamper-evident audit trail, allowing teams to revisit decisions, add late applicants, or export data. Candidate information remains private and is not used for AI model training. Users can delete screenings or accounts as needed.
