AT A GLANCE
AI resume screening tool that scores every applicant against custom criteria you define, with bi-directional ATS integration.
What is Speak_
Speak_ is built for one job: getting through high inbound resume volume fast and surfacing the candidates who actually match your criteria. You set 'signals' that teach the AI what a strong candidate looks like for each role, and it scores every resume in seconds. It integrates bi-directionally with Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, and Workable, or runs standalone if you don't use one of those.
Who it's for
Yes, if…
You're a US SMB HR or TA team getting 500+ applications per role and burning hours on manual screening
You're on Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, or Workable and want screening scores to flow into your existing pipeline
You want to try AI screening cheaply before committing to enterprise tools
You're willing to invest 30 minutes per role to teach the AI what 'good' looks like
No, if…
You get low application volumes (under 50 per role), manual screening is faster than tool setup
You're on an uncommon ATS without integration, you'll be uploading CSVs
You want a full hiring suite, Speak_ is screening-only by design
Our take
Speak_ is the unsexy but useful kind of AI tool. It does one thing, resume screening, and it does it cheaply enough that even a small HR team can plug it in without building a business case. The custom signals are the differentiator, you're not relying on a generic 'good fit' score, you're teaching it what your role actually needs. If you're an HR team drowning in inbound applications and you already run a clean ATS, this is a sensible add. Pair it with structured interviews in Oryx and you've got a fast, fair top-of-funnel.
Pros & cons
What works
You define the 'signals' that matter for each role, so the AI is scoring against your criteria, not a generic match algorithm
Free tier handles up to 250 resumes, so you can try it on a real role before committing
Bi-directional ATS integration means scores flow back into Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, or Workable
Pro tier at $199/month for 10,000 resumes is genuinely affordable for SMBs versus enterprise screening tools
Real customer evidence at SMB scale (Alpine Home Air, Prepared Hero, Evidence Action) instead of just enterprise logos
What to watch
Bias is a real risk with any AI screening, you'll want to audit the signals you're setting and check that your scoring isn't filtering out groups unintentionally
The platform is laser-focused on resume screening, you won't get sourcing, scheduling, or interview tooling here
Integration list is solid but not exhaustive, if you're on a less common ATS you may need to upload manually
