Understanding How PalmReader Works

August 23, 2024

PalmReader is a candidate screening software designed to give recruiters unparalleled control over their hiring processes. The unique feature of PalmReader is its ability to allow recruiters to define the analysis framework they want to use for evaluating candidate CVs. This approach enables a more tailored and relevant assessment of applicants, aligning perfectly with the specific needs of the job and the company.

How PalmReader Works

At the heart of PalmReader is its Insights Engine, which processes input from two key sources: the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and the PalmReader Dashboard.

PalmReader Overview

  1. Applicant Tracking System (ATS):

    • The ATS feeds both the Candidate CV and the Job Specification into the Palm Platform's Insights Engine. The Job Specification provides the criteria against which the candidate's CV will be evaluated.
  2. PalmReader Dashboard:

    • Recruiters use the PalmReader Dashboard to set their Analysis Criteria. This customizable framework defines what aspects of the CV are most important, allowing recruiters to focus on specific skills, experiences, or qualifications that are most relevant to the job.
  3. Palm Platform's Insights Engine:

    • The Insights Engine processes the Candidate CV in light of the Job Specification and the recruiter-defined Analysis Criteria. It then generates Candidate Insights that provide a detailed analysis of how well the candidate matches the job requirements.
  4. Insights and Analytics:

    • The final step involves sending these Candidate Insights back to the recruiter via the ATS, ready to integrate with the rest of their workflow. Here the insights can be reviewed, compared, and acted upon. Anlaytics on the candidates as a whole will be returned to the PalmReader Dashboard, where additional trends on the cohort as a whole can be understood.

Why PalmReader?

Traditional candidate screening tools often rely on static and rigid analysis frameworks, which may not adapt well to different roles or industries. PalmReader solves this by offering a dynamic, recruiter-driven approach to CV analysis. This flexibility ensures that the screening process is always relevant and aligned with the specific needs of each hiring situation.

PalmReader is more than just a screening tool—it's a platform that empowers recruiters to make informed, data-driven hiring decisions, tailored to their unique needs.
