If you’ve ever tried hiring at scale, you know how tough it can get. Sorting through hundreds of resumes, trying to figure out which ones are real contenders—it’s a challenge.

 TL;DR

  • CloudApper AI Recruiter helps UKG users rank candidates automatically based on custom criteria.
  • A chatbot screens applicants early by asking job-specific questions.
  • The system extracts and analyzes resume data to shortlist candidates.
  • Recruiters can focus on interviews instead of sorting through resumes manually.

Why Ranking Candidates Manually Doesn’t Work Anymore

When you’re hiring in volume, reviewing each resume one by one just isn’t realistic. The truth is, many candidates look good on paper but lack the actual skills or experience you need. Others may apply without reading the job description properly. These kinds of resumes slow everything down. Worse, they make it easy to overlook strong candidates who don’t use the right keywords or formatting.

This is where using AI in recruitment starts to make a real difference. With CloudApper’s AI Recruiting Solution integrated into UKG, you don’t have to dig through every resume manually. You get a system that helps you rank candidates based on the things that matter most for the role.

How AI Makes Candidate Ranking Easy

The process starts with a friendly chatbot built right into CloudApper AI Recruiter. Once someone applies, the chatbot has a short conversation with them, asking questions related to the role they’re applying for. It’s casual but smart, and it screens out many unfit applicants right away.

After that, it prompts qualified candidates to upload their resumes. That’s where CloudApper’s AI Recruiting Tool kicks in again. It pulls out the key info—like skills, experience, education, and certifications—and compares it with the answers from the chatbot conversation. Then it automatically ranks candidates based on how well they match your requirements.

You don’t have to scroll through every resume or second-guess whom to prioritize. The best-fit candidates float to the top, and your team can move them to interviews faster. That’s what real convenience looks like.

Customizable Criteria for Ranking

One of the best parts? You’re not locked into a standard way of scoring. You can customize CloudApper AI Recruiter to exactly what you want to focus on. Want to prioritize candidates with certain certifications? Or maybe those with experience in a specific industry? You set the criteria, and the tool adapts.

This kind of flexibility is great when you’re hiring for different roles with different needs. It ensures that every hiring decision is based on what actually matters to your team, not just a resume format or keyword usage.

From Shortlisting to Interview in Less Time

Once you shortlist candidates, the rest becomes a lot easier. You know exactly who to reach out to, and with CloudApper, scheduling interviews is simple too. The system can handle follow-ups, send reminders, and keep everything organized. You’ll spend less time coordinating and more time having meaningful conversations with top talent.

All of this comes together to reduce time-to-hire and help you avoid recruiter burnout. You’re not stuck in inboxes or spreadsheets anymore. You’re making hiring decisions based on clean data and real insight.

Why It’s Perfect for UKG Pro and Ready Users

You don’t need to overhaul your hiring system. You just make it faster and easier to rank candidates and make better decisions.
