How the shortlist loop works?
Skima AI makes hiring collaboration inside Lever ATS faster and easier by creating a seamless shortlist feedback loop. Recruiters stay aligned without extra logins.
Here's how it works:
Recruiter Shares the Shortlist
A secure, no-login shortlist link is generated and added as an activity note on the opportunity record.
Manager Gives Feedback
The manager simply clicks 👍, 👎, or "Maybe" and can optionally add context notes for their decision.
Skima AI Updates Lever
These decisions are automatically written back as activity notes on each opportunity in Lever ATS.
Recruiter Acts on Insights
The recruiter sees an explainable, AI-ranked top-10 list and moves the right candidates forward with confidence.
The result is real-time collaboration, faster decisions, and a transparent audit trail that integrates naturally with Lever's opportunity-centric workflow.
