SwiftShortlist for developers

AI candidate ranking for software developer roles

Score every developer applicant against your stack, seniority, and scope.

Developer hiring is high-signal and high-noise. Every CV mentions ten frameworks. SwiftShortlist reads the CV in context and scores real depth in the stack, real seniority, and real transferable experience — not keyword hits.

The problem

  • —Applicant flood on senior roles; keyword filters miss real seniority.
  • —"5 years experience" from someone who copy-pasted the JD stack.
  • —Wrong stack, right engineer — filtered out by traditional ATS.

Questions

Does it work for junior developer roles?

Yes. Set junior in the JD seniority field and the model scores accordingly — projects, internships, and evidence of learning weighted appropriately.

Can I screen for a specific framework?

Yes. Add the framework to the JD as a must-have. The model scores actual depth in it, not just mentions.

How does it rate GitHub links?

It reads content mentioned in the CV. Include repo highlights or contribution context in the CV text for the model to factor.
