1. AI-Powered Resume Screening
Aeion Recruit turns unstructured resumes into organized, comparable candidate profiles — with built-in bias detection so screening decisions stay fair.
What gets extracted from every resume:
- Contact and personal info (name, email, phone, location, professional links)
- Work history (title, company, dates, location, description, achievements)
- Education (degree, school, field, graduation year)
- Skills, broken out into technical, soft, and language proficiency
- Certifications and notable projects
Match Scoring
Each candidate receives an overall match score (0-100) against the job, with a breakdown across technical fit, experience, education, and culture fit. The system explains why a candidate matched — which skills lined up, which are missing, and where the gaps are — so recruiters aren't left guessing. Candidates land in one of five recommendation tiers, from strong match to no match, each with a plain-language reasoning summary.
Built-In Bias Report
Every score ships with a bias report: an overall risk level (low/medium/high) plus specific flags where unconscious bias may be creeping into the review. See the Deep Dives section below for how the five vectors work. High-risk flags route the candidate to an ethics review queue automatically.
Low-confidence extractions — unusual resume formats, for example — are automatically routed to a recruiter for manual review rather than silently guessed.
2. Async Video Interviews
Replace first-round phone screens with structured, on-demand video interviews.
How it works:
- Build a reusable template — questions, thinking time, and recording time limits per question, plus a welcome/closing message.
- Candidates receive a secure, unique link and record their answers directly in the browser — no app download required.
- Recordings are transcribed automatically, and AI scores the overall sentiment (positive / neutral / negative) so reviewers can quickly spot the most engaged, confident candidates.
- Recruiters review a searchable transcript alongside the video, with per-question sentiment and completion time.
Response Lifecycle:
`
invited → in_progress → completed ↘ expired (if not completed in time)
`
Retakes and expiry: Templates can allow a configurable number of retakes per question, and unanswered invitations expire automatically after a set number of days — the candidate simply sees an updated status rather than a broken link.
Video and transcripts are stored securely behind time-limited, presigned access links — nothing is ever served through an open, unauthenticated URL, and there's no server-side proxy sitting between the candidate's browser and storage.
3. Candidate Matching
| Dimension | Priority | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Skill Match | Primary | Technical + soft skills vs. job requirements |
| Experience Match | Primary | Years, relevance, industry overlap |
| Culture Fit | Secondary | Work style, values alignment |
| Tier | Score Range | Suggested Action |
| ------ | ------------- | -------- |
| Strong Match | 85-100 | Immediate interview invitation |
| Good Match | 70-84 | Schedule a screening |
| Possible Match | 50-69 | Recruiter review recommended |
| Weak Match | 25-49 | Significant gaps — deprioritize |
| No Match | 0-24 | Archive |
4. Offer Generation
Generate polished, on-brand offer letters without leaving the platform.
Offers can include:
- Job title, department, employment type, and start date
- Salary, pay period, and currency
- Bonus terms (signing / performance / annual)
- Equity (share count, vesting schedule, strike price)
- Benefits, work location, and remote policy
- PTO policy and any custom terms you add
- An expiration date, after which the offer lapses automatically
Lifecycle:
`
draft → sent → accepted / declined / expired
`
HTML Generation
Offer letters are generated by combining candidate info, job details, compensation, benefits, legal terms, and your company branding into a professional, ready-to-send document.
E-Signature Integration
When the Aeion Sign module is enabled, offers route straight into e-signature — the signed, completed document attaches back to the candidate record automatically, with status tracked through acceptance or decline.
5. GDPR Compliance
Built-in data governance so hiring stays compliant without manual tracking spreadsheets.
Retention: Candidate data is retained for a configurable period (2 years / 730 days by default) and automatically checked on a weekly schedule. When a candidate's retention window lapses:
- Their record and related applications, interviews, and scorecards are permanently deleted
- Anonymous, aggregate funnel counts are preserved so historical reporting stays intact
- The purge is logged for audit purposes
Consent Management: Track granted/revoked consent separately for data processing, background checks, and video interviews, with timestamps for both grant and revocation.
Right-to-Be-Forgotten Flow:
- Receive a request for a specific candidate
- Verify consent revocation
- Generate a personal data export (JSON/PDF) for the candidate's records
- Permanently delete all personal data across every linked record
- Preserve anonymous aggregate analytics
- Log completion for your compliance audit trail
6. Job Board Syndication
Publish a job once and distribute it to the major boards without re-entering it four times.
Live-postable boards today: LinkedIn Jobs, Indeed, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter
Connect each board's partner API key to publish live. Until a board's credentials are configured, that board runs in a clearly-flagged test mode — every result is marked as such, so nothing is ever silently faked as posted. Closing a posting works the same honest way: if no live connection is configured, the action fails clearly and leaves your local status unchanged rather than pretending the listing was closed.
Syndication Features:
- One-click publish across the configured boards
- Board-specific formatting (each board expects a different schema)
- Cross-posting deduplication (avoid duplicate listings)
- Per-board posting, status tracking, and analytics (views, applications, conversion)
- Auto-repost on schedule (weekly/monthly refresh)
- Pause/resume individual boards
> Roadmap: additional boards (Monster, CareerBuilder, Google Jobs, Dice, > and other ATS/aggregators) are planned using the same per-board > adapter approach.
Listing Data
Each board requires different field mapping. Aeion Recruit transforms:
- Title, description, requirements
- Location (city, state, remote policy)
- Salary range (formatted per board)
- Application URL (board-specific tracking)
- Company info, logo
