Offer AI Candidate Screening as a Service

1. 1

   Set up the screening engine

   Choose a screening platform (licensed tools exist, or build with resume-parsing plus AI decision steps) and learn to configure must-have qualifications, preferred qualifications, weighting, and role-specific parameters so the same engine adapts quickly to each new role.

2. 2

   Build the human quality-assurance step

   Never ship raw model output. Add a validation pass where a person spot-checks the ranked list and flags obvious misses before delivery. The QA step is what makes the service trustworthy and is a real part of the value you sell.

3. 3

   Keep the scope recommendation-only and bias-aware

   Understand AI-bias risk and EEOC guidance on AI in hiring, and make the contract explicit that your screening is a recommendation tool, not a hiring decision. This is both a legal boundary and a selling point: you are giving recruiters back their time, not taking over their judgment.

4. 4

   Price per screening or by subscription

   Charge $5 to $25 per candidate screened depending on depth, or $2,000 to $10,000 a month for unlimited volume. A subscription smooths the volatility of per-screening billing; push toward it once a client sees the quality. Deliver ranked shortlists with match scores, screening summaries, and flag notes.

5. 5

   Sell with a free pilot on one role

   Target employers overwhelmed by applicant volume, healthcare systems, retail chains, government agencies, large nonprofits, and open with the concrete promise: 500 applicants screened in 24 hours, a ranked top 50 returned. A free pilot on one open role proves it faster than any pitch.

6. 6

   Let screening lead to placement work

   When a client sees the quality of your shortlists, full placement work often follows naturally. Treat screening as both a standalone revenue line and a warm on-ramp to deeper recruiting services, and refine your criteria against real hiring outcomes over time.

Best for: Recruiters and AI-comfortable operators who can process volume responsibly and explain the methodology

Not for: Not for anyone who would ship an AI ranking as a final hiring decision, that is where the legal and ethical risk lives. Not for someone unwilling to learn EEOC and bias considerations or to maintain a genuine human quality-assurance step, and not for an operator who cannot explain the methodology plainly to a client who needs to trust the shortlist.
