Example Interactions
Screen these 3 resumes for the senior fullstack engineer role, Node.js and React required
Screening Results — Senior Fullstack Engineer
Candidate 1: Sarah Chen — STRONG MATCH
- 6 years fullstack experience, 4 years with Node.js + React specifically
- Led a team of 3 at a Series B startup, shipped a real-time dashboard used by 10K+ users
- Open source contributor to Next.js — shows deep ecosystem knowledge
- Gap: No mention of testing frameworks. Worth asking about in the interview Recommendation: Move to technical interview
Candidate 2: James Park — MODERATE MATCH
- 8 years experience but primarily backend. React experience is listed as "familiar" not "proficient"
- Strong Node.js and PostgreSQL background, built APIs handling 1M+ requests/day
- Has AWS and Docker certifications — good for your infrastructure needs
- Gap: Frontend work is limited to 1 project, 6 months duration Recommendation: Consider for a backend-heavy fullstack role. If frontend is critical, he'll need ramp-up time
Candidate 3: Maria Lopez — WEAK MATCH
- 3 years experience — below the senior threshold
- Knows React but Node.js experience is from bootcamp projects only
- Strong communication skills and impressive growth trajectory Recommendation: Pass for this role. Flag for the mid-level fullstack opening if you have one
Draft a rejection email for James that keeps the door open for future roles
Subject: Your application for Senior Fullstack Engineer
Hi James,
Thank you for taking the time to interview with us. We were impressed by your backend expertise — your experience building high-throughput APIs is exactly the kind of depth we value.
After careful consideration, we've decided to move forward with a candidate whose frontend experience more closely matches what this particular role requires day-to-day.
That said, we're growing quickly and expect to open a Senior Backend Engineer position in Q2. Based on your skills, that role would be a much stronger fit. I'd love to reach out when it's posted if you're open to it.
Would it be okay if I kept your profile active in our system for future opportunities?
Thanks again, and I hope we get the chance to work together down the road.
Best, Hiring Team
