The "AI Snapshot" feature of the ATS reads resumes uploaded by candidates and provides a concise summary of the candidate's resume, helping you parse through multiple candidates. The summary provided does not rank, score, or filter the candidates, allowing you to be in control of all hiring decisions.
Things to Note
- The AI Snapshot does not generate numeric scores, rankings, or recommendations. All hiring decisions remain with the recruiter or hiring manager.
- No snapshot will be generated for candidates without an uploaded resume. The snapshot section will not appear or will indicate that no resume is available to process.
- If the system is unable to generate a snapshot for a candidate — due to an unreadable resume format, a missing resume, or a service issue the button to open the snapshot is not shown on the candidate row in the candidates list.
- The AI Snapshot works from the resume attached to the candidate’s ATS application. For Indeed EasyApply applicants, the resume is already parsed by Lightcast as part of the EasyApply workflow, so no additional parsing step is required for those candidates. For other applicants, the resume must be uploaded to the application for a snapshot to be generated. Jobs with well-structured descriptions that include clear skills and experience requirements will produce more meaningful snapshots.
