How the Shortlist loop Works?
Skima AI makes hiring collaboration faster and easier within SmartRecruiters ATS by creating a seamless loop for shortlist feedback.
Here's how it works:
Recruiter Shares the Shortlist
A secure, no-login link is generated and shared with the hiring manager.
Manager Gives Feedback
The manager simply clicks 👍, 👎, or "Maybe" and can optionally add a short note for context.
Skima AI Updates SmartRecruiters
These decisions are automatically written back to the candidate's application record in SmartRecruiters ATS.
Recruiter Acts on Insights
The recruiter sees an explainable, AI-ranked top-10 list in SmartRecruiters.
The result is real-time collaboration, faster decision-making, and a transparent audit trail, which improves the hiring experience for both recruiters and managers.
