Screen candidates against what actually matters.

Talis evaluates new and existing candidates against the requirements, experience and criteria that matter for the role. Recruiters spend less time reading resumes and more time deciding who moves forward.

A resume can contain the right keywords and still be the wrong candidate.

Recruiters aren't simply looking for keywords. They're trying to answer: Can this person actually do this job?

That means evaluating experience, seniority, technical skills, industry background, career progression and the specific requirements of the role — often across hundreds of candidates. Traditional screening makes that process manual. Talis makes it structured.

What traditional screening misses
Keyword matching only
No evaluation of experience depth
Inconsistent across recruiters
Talis: Structured, consistent evaluation

Give Talis the criteria. Get a consistent evaluation.

01

Define

Start with the job description and add the criteria your recruiting team actually cares about.

02

Evaluate

Talis evaluates candidates against those requirements using the information already available in your recruiting data.

03

Prioritize

Candidates are ranked according to their fit, helping recruiters focus their attention where it matters.

04

Review

Open any candidate to understand why they were surfaced, where they match and where potential gaps exist.

Screen candidates from today — and candidates from years ago.

Your best candidate isn't necessarily the person who applied yesterday. Talis can evaluate new applicants, candidates already in your ATS, previously rejected candidates, previously interviewed candidates, sourced candidates, and candidates from previous hiring cycles. The same screening criteria can be applied across your candidate pool.

Talis evaluates both

Every role has requirements that don't fit neatly into a job description.

A job description might say "5+ years of backend engineering experience" — but your recruiter might actually mean:

High-growth SaaS experience Production system ownership Mentoring experience Distributed team experience Career progression
Job-specific requirements
Must-have and preferred criteria
Experience and seniority
Technical and functional skills
Industry and company background
Recruiter-defined evaluation criteria

Don't just get a score. Know why a candidate matches.

A screening score without context isn't particularly useful. Talis gives recruiters the reasoning behind the evaluation.

Why Talis surfaced him: 7+ years of backend engineering experience, strong Python and AWS background, 5 years in B2B SaaS environments.

Strong candidate to review.
Match analysis

Give every candidate the same starting point.

Different recruiters shouldn't have to interpret the same requirements differently. Talis gives your team a consistent evaluation framework across candidates and roles.

  • ✓ Less repetitive resume review
  • ✓ More consistent candidate evaluation
  • ✓ More recruiter time spent on candidates who actually deserve attention
Consistent screening

Your ATS stays where it is.

Talis isn't another ATS. It sits on top of the recruiting infrastructure you already use and adds an intelligence layer for candidate evaluation. Your existing candidate data stays useful. Your recruiters keep their existing workflow. Talis handles the analysis.
