The recruiting stack failed you. Here's why.

You don't have a hiring problem.
You have a time problem.

Applicant Tracking Systems

Manage your pipeline. They don't screen it. You still read every resume.

AI Resume Scorers

Give you a number with no audit trail. Good luck defending it to anyone.

Recruiters

$15K–$40K/year for someone who schedules a call. And you're still weeks from a shortlist.

Scout

Paste a job description. Drop in résumés. Get a ranked shortlist scored against your rubric — with every claim cited. In 90 seconds.

How it works

Three steps. One session.
Same day shortlist.

01

Define your rubric

Paste your job description. Scout extracts the Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities — your five dimensions of fit. You own the rubric, not the vendor.

02

Drop in résumés

Upload any format — PDF, Word, plain text. Scout scores every candidate against your rubric in 90 seconds and ranks them strongest to weakest.

03

Shortlist with confidence

Every score cites the résumé evidence. Every candidate gets an AI voice interview the same day. You call the shots — with a shortlist you can actually defend.

No black box. No bias proxies. No recruiter markup.
No black box

Every score
has a citation.

Scout doesn't give you a number. It gives you a case. Each KSA match is backed by a direct pull from the résumé — what it said, which line, why it scored. You can defend every decision to anyone.

Stop paying for a pipeline you still have to build yourself.

The average small business owner spends 14 hours per hire on screening. Recruiters charge 20–30% of first-year salary. And the pipeline still takes six weeks. Scout changes the math. Paste your job description, run your résumés, and call your top candidates by end of day.
