AI Resume Review: Knockout requirements
AI Resume Review now supports Knockout requirements, helping you prioritize candidates more accurately when certain qualifications are truly non-negotiable. This enhancement improves ranking accuracy, and better aligns AI Resume Review results with real-world hiring decisions for roles with specific eligibility criteria such as specific experience, licenses, certifications, language proficiency, or location requirements.
How it works
- Add “must”or“mandatory”to any non-negotiable public or internal requirement. For example, “Must have an active RN license in California” or “3+ years of experience as a team lead is a must.”
- Choose Flexible matchto factor mandatory requirements into the overall score orStrict matchto automatically mark candidates asLow Fitwhen they miss at least one mandatory requirement

Getting started
Spend less time reviewing candidates who don’t meet mandatory requirements and focus on stronger matches. See our help article for more details.
