Sourcing & qualification: a shortlist in 5 minutes.

How recruiting teams go from 2 hours of manual triage to 5 minutes of review — with semantic matching on the internal ATS and 25M enriched public profiles.

From 2 hours of triage to 5 minutes of review.

The scenario: one role, 200 applications.

A Lead Backend role opens. In one week, the ATS receives 200 applications (job boards + spontaneous + internal pools). The sourcer traditionally spends 2 hours triaging manually to produce a shortlist of 5–8 profiles to present to the hiring manager.

With Jemmo connected to the ATS, the same triage takes 5 minutes of review.

Real savings. Across 30 roles a year with an average of 150 applications each, that is ~50 hours of manual triage avoided per sourcer — about 1.5 weeks recovered.

How the AI qualifies.

Three combined mechanisms:

  • Semantic search — the AI understands intent beyond keywords (e.g. "React Native" surfaces "Expo")
  • Automatic qualification — filters by contractual constraints and key skills
  • Relevance scoring — each profile gets a 0-100 score with an explicit justification

Results measured over 6 months.

  • −80% time on initial qualification
  • +60% shortlist quality (measured by hiring manager validation rate)
  • +45% placements over the same period vs a control cohort

We stopped looking for candidates. Now we justify them.
