6 Use Cases
TokenEase API
1. Intelligent Resume Screening & Candidate Ranking
Recruiters often review hundreds of resumes per position. LLMs can parse structured and unstructured resume data, match qualifications against job requirements, score fit, and explain ranking decisions—dramatically reducing time-to-hire while improving quality.
Business Value: A Hangzhou tech company reduced time-to-hire from 42 days to 18 days and improved new-hire retention by 28% by using AI resume screening that identified cultural fit indicators missed by keyword-based filters.
