AI Resume Screening Isn't AI Hiring (And That's Why It's Failing)

**🤖 AI Is Everywhere in Hiring—But Mostly in the Wrong Places** If you ask most hiring teams whether they use AI, the answer is yes. But dig deeper, and you'll find their AI is just **automating outdated processes:** That's not smarter hiring. That's just **faster filtering.** --- ## 📉 AI Screening Doesn't Solve the Hiring Problem—It Speeds Up the Wrong Steps Hiring isn't broken because it's too slow at filtering. Hiring is broken because it's **filtering for the wrong things.** Keyword-matching algorithms don't tell you: - Whether the candidate solved a similar problem before - Whether their experience is transferable - Whether they succeeded in a comparable environment AI screening is still **resume-based hiring.** And resumes were never designed to be parsed by machines. --- ## 🔍 What You Need Isn't Faster Screening. It's Better Matching. A hiring process built around resume screening is a sorting problem. But the real goal of hiring isn't to sort—it's to **match.** That's why AI screening tools create so many false negatives and wasted interviews: they're screening for proxies, not proof. --- ## 💡 The Vetta Difference: AI Built for Matching, Not Filtering At Vetta, we asked a different question: > "How do we use AI to find people who've solved this problem before?" We didn't start with resumes. We started with **outcomes.** Here's how it works: - Employers define the problem they're hiring to solve - Candidates upload STAR-format accomplishments showing what they've solved - Vetta's AI matches candidates based on **problem-solving fit**—not keywords No keyword scanning. No resume gaming. No proxy filtering. Just: **who's already solved this problem, and can they do it again here?** --- ## 🚀 Why Outcome-Based AI Works Better By shifting from filtering to matching: - You reduce false negatives (qualified people getting filtered out) - You spend less time screening and more time interviewing - You shorten time-to-hire - You increase hiring confidence And best of all? You stop hiring people who "look right on paper" and start hiring people who can deliver results. --- ## 🧠 Final Thought: The Problem Isn't How You Filter—It's What You're Filtering For.
