Free AI screening software

AI resume screening tools read resumes and rank applicants by fit for the role. They parse skills, experience, and qualifications from every application, then surface the strongest matches for human review. For high volume roles with hundreds of applicants, they turn an impossible pile into a manageable shortlist. This page lists only permanent free tiers, not timed trials.
