Frequently asked questions
You describe the criteria you are looking for in plain English. Binary's AI then reviews every candidate against those criteria, reading the full resume and watching video answers if your form has them. Each candidate gets a score, like 5/7, along with a written reasoning for every criterion.
Yes. The AI parses the full resume, not just a few keywords, and uses smart search to understand context, so it can pick up relevant experience even when a candidate phrases things differently.
Yes. You set the criteria yourself, and they're never locked in. You can add a new one, remove one that's no longer relevant, or edit the wording at any time, and the AI re-evaluates candidates against the updated set.
Older resume screening tools mostly match keywords, so a strong candidate who phrases things differently can get filtered out. Binary's AI understands context, so it evaluates whether a candidate genuinely meets a criterion and explains its reasoning, rather than just checking whether a word appears on the page.
There are two ways. You can create a hiring form on Binary and let candidates apply directly, or import an existing candidate list or ATS export. AI screening works the same way for both, scoring every candidate against your criteria.
Yes, to begin with. Binary's free plan includes AI credits, so you can try AI screening on candidates without paying anything upfront. If you like the experience and want to review higher volume, you can move to a paid plan for higher credit limits.
The AI is built to support your judgement, not replace it. Every score comes with a reasoning per criterion, so you can quickly verify why a candidate was scored the way they were before you act on it. You always stay in control of the final reject or shortlist decision.
Yes. Once candidates are scored, you can sort by score, skim the reasoning, and bulk-reject or shortlist the ones that clearly do or don't fit, closing the loop on most of your pipeline in seconds.
Yes. You can export candidate scores and the reasoning behind them as a spreadsheet at any time, whether the candidates applied through a Binary form or were imported from elsewhere.
