Why Pre-Screening Candidates Matters
When you’re filling multiple roles or hiring at scale, it’s not just about finding people—it’s about finding the right people, fast. But in most cases, candidate screening still starts with someone opening each resume and trying to figure out if it fits the job. That kind of manual work adds up quickly and slows down the whole hiring process.
On top of that, not every applicant meets your basic requirements. Maybe they don’t have the right certification, or maybe their availability doesn’t match. The more time you spend filtering out unqualified candidates, the less time you have to engage with great ones.
That’s why automating how you pre-screen candidates is such a big win. With CloudApper’s AI Recruiting Solution, you can set up a process that handles the heavy lifting. It checks qualifications, asks relevant questions, and filters candidates before they ever reach your team.
How CloudApper AI Recruiter Pre-Screens Candidates in UKG
CloudApper AI Recruiter handles early candidate screening through customizable chat questions, automated scoring, and resume parsing. It filters out unqualified applicants, ranks the best-fit candidates, and syncs everything into UKG Pro or Ready Recruiting. This way, you save time, avoid manual sorting, and move strong candidates forward without delays—all while keeping your existing workflows intact.
Start With Chat-Based Screening
Instead of sending candidates a long form or waiting for a recruiter to review their resume, CloudApper AI Recruiter chats with the candidates and asks job-specific questions. Think of it like a short interview that runs automatically—candidates answer questions about their skills, location, availability, and other key details.
You can customize the questions to fit each role. For example, if a job needs night shift availability or a specific license, the system can ask about that right away. This helps you pre-screen candidates before they even show up in your review queue.
Score and Rank Applicants Instantly
After candidates complete the chat, CloudApper’s AI Recruiting Tool evaluates the answers based on your rules. It then assigns each person a score. This makes candidate shortlisting easier because you know exactly who meets your criteria and who doesn’t.
You can view ranked lists directly within your UKG system, so you’re not switching between platforms or tools. That way, you can move qualified candidates straight to the next step—no extra effort required.
Fits Right Into UKG Pro and Ready Recruiting
The best part? You don’t need to build a new system or change your existing setup. CloudApper’s AI Recruiting Solution integrates directly with UKG Pro and Ready Recruiting. Candidate data flows automatically between the two platforms, so your workflows stay intact.
Whether you’re using job requisitions, hiring steps, or notifications inside UKG, CloudApper works alongside it to make the process smoother. You can manage everything from one place and still get all the benefits of automation.
