Show HN: Built a resume filtering tool after screening 1000s manually as a dev

4•bchhabra2490•9mo ago

I was working as a software developer at a 15-person startup. We posted one job, and within days got thousands of resumes.

Since we didn’t have recruiters, engineers (like me) had to manually go through them. Most didn’t match the job description at all.

That experience inspired me to build FilterResumes – a tool that automatically scores and ranks resumes based on how well they match your JD.

It's fully automated and works with any job description + a batch of resumes.

Would love your thoughts and feedback!

Race to the bottom.

The next stage: people use automation and LLM to make up resume that pass through your tool.

How much text they can change before it becomes a lie? One can update the resume as much as they like till it stays true. We do not look for words only. We find latent values in each resume. The plan is to fetch reputation from social links also and have the users accommodate reviews from colleagues/managers on the platform itself to rank better.

From my experience up to 50% of both resume and job posting is a lie.

Love that we are now building AI to rank the AI resumes lol. Great work.
