How to Automate Candidate Screening with ChatGPT / GPT-4o (OpenAI)

Parse resumes, score against job requirements, draft outreach, and schedule screening calls automatically.

The problem

Recruiting teams manually review 200+ applications per role. Early-stage screening takes 3-5 hours per role per week.

The outcome

Recruiters only see pre-qualified candidates with a scoring rationale. Time-to-first-screen drops from days to hours.
