Case study: Mid-sized employer on ADP

Automated Candidate Screening and Multiple Job Site Integrations

A recruitment team was recreating every job posting across separate systems and manually screening hundreds of resumes a month with keyword tools that missed good candidates. We connected ADP, Greenhouse, their website, and an outside job board into one pipeline, with an AI reasoning step doing the screening.

How the candidate screening pipeline worksA new opening is entered once, in ADP and Greenhouse. It publishes automatically to the company's own careers page, so nobody retypes a posting and the systems stay in sync. An hourly XML feed keeps the same openings current on the RecruitMilitary job board. The integration was built inside the client's existing stack, not bolted on beside it, with state management that prevents the systems from ever drifting out of sync. The applications those postings produce flow back into the pipeline, especially the ones from the outside board, where each resume is parsed to text and the file itself is deleted rather than stockpiled. An AI reasoning step then evaluates every candidate against the actual job description, in context, the way a careful human reader would, instead of matching keywords, which is what used to reject qualified candidates who simply described their experience differently. Each candidate comes out with a score from 0 to 100 and the written reasoning behind it. Recruiters work a ranked list in their existing inbox and can trust any score or override it, and resume review time is down by about 30 percent.POSTINGS OUTADPGREENHOUSEEntered once, in both systemsthen published everywhere elsePublished, never retypedthe careers page, in sync with both systemsNO DUPLICATE ENTRYOUTSIDE JOB BOARDHourly XML feedRecruitMilitary openings,always currentBUILT INTO THEIR STACKNo sync conflicts, everbuilt inside their stack,not bolted on beside itstate management keeps foursystems from ever drifting apartAPPLICATIONS BACKReasoning, not keywordsread against the actual job descriptionReasoning in contextKeyword matching0 to 100 scoreWritten reasoningRESUME FILES DELETEDthe file itself is deleted after parsingRanked list, not a piledelivered to the recruiters’ own inboxREASONING ATTACHEDtrusted, or overridden, either wayRESULTAbout 30%less resume review timeacross every opening

The challenge

  • Every job opening was entered separately in ADP, Greenhouse, and the website's careers page
  • Getting openings onto outside job boards, like RecruitMilitary, meant a manual export with no fixed schedule
  • Resume screening consumed hundreds of hours a month
  • Keyword matching rejected qualified candidates who simply used different words for the same experience

What we built

An hourly background pipeline. New and updated positions publish from ADP and Greenhouse to the website automatically, and an hourly XML feed keeps the RecruitMilitary job board current with the same openings. New applications flow back, resumes are parsed, and an AI reasoning step evaluates each candidate against the actual job description, in context, the way a careful human reader would. Recruiters get a prioritized list with a 0-to-100 score and written reasoning for every candidate.

  • Postings stay in sync across ADP, Greenhouse, and the website with zero duplicate entry
  • An hourly XML feed publishes current openings to the RecruitMilitary job board automatically
  • Resumes are processed and the files deleted after text extraction, not stockpiled
  • Every score arrives with its reasoning, so recruiters can trust it or override it

How it's built

Custom ADP and Greenhouse API integrations, a scheduled XML feed generator for the RecruitMilitary job board, automated document parsing, an AI evaluation layer, and state management that prevents sync conflicts, delivered into the recruiters' existing inbox workflow. Built inside the client's stack, not alongside it.

Results

  • Resume-review time reduced by about 30%
  • Recruiters work a ranked list instead of a pile
  • Listings stay synced across ADP, Greenhouse, the website, and the RecruitMilitary job board without anyone retyping them

Where does your team type the same thing twice?

Duplicate entry and manual screening are the two most automatable jobs in any business. The audit finds yours.
