SlackHow do you screen applications against a role?
To screen applications against a role, connect your applicant tracker and give Maito the must-haves. When new applications arrive, it reads each one, summarizes it against the requirements, groups people into worth a closer look, unclear and not a fit, and gives the reason for each. Recruiters make every decision.
How it's done today
Recruiters skim hundreds of CVs.
What Maito does
- Read the CV and role
- Summarize match and gaps
- Never reject on its own
Example
Loop run: 12 new applications · Product Designer
12 new Product Designer applications since Friday, 52 in total. Compared with the must-haves: 4+ years in product design, a portfolio with shipped work, B2B or tools experience. Worth a closer look (4): • Ines: 6 years, two shipped B2B dashboards, strong case study on onboarding • Theo: 5 years, design system lead at a logistics tool • Amara: 4 years, shipped payments flow, light on research • Jun: 7 years, mostly consumer apps, one B2B project Missing something (3): no portfolio link. I can email them to ask. Catch: Ines applied last year to the Brand Designer role and reached the final round, per Greenhouse notes. From Greenhouse CVs and the job post. I haven't rejected anyone.
@Maito Yes, email the 3 for portfolios. I'll go through the rest myself.
Sent. I'll post their replies here when they come in.

How to set it up
- Ask your agent
“When a new application arrives for the Product Designer role in Greenhouse, compare it with the role's must-haves and post a short summary in #hiring. Never reject anyone.”
- Use applicant tracker
- Greenhouse
- Ashby
- Workable
No MCP server needed. Ask your agent to save a skill with the steps, then add the login or API key in Settings → Vault.
What it won't do
Maito compares applications with the criteria you set. It does not make hiring decisions, and the criteria can carry bias, so a person should review the full list.
Questions
Maito uses a skill with a login or API key kept in the Vault. Greenhouse, Ashby and Workable are examples.
No. It summarizes and sorts. A recruiter decides, and Maito emails candidates only when you approve it.
Yes, for example asking for a portfolio link. It sends the email once the recruiter agrees.
