Product

A fair first read of every applicant.

Slate reads every application against the role, runs a structured, job-relevant screen, and returns a clear, evidence-based summary for each candidate, with the reasons. It surfaces the evidence. Your team makes the call.

The read

One role, read the same way for everyone

Define the role once, and every applicant gets the same structured attention, from the first to the two hundredth.

01

Define the role once

Give Slate the role: a title, the must-haves, and the nice-to-haves. This is the standard every application is read against, the same for the first applicant and the last.

role: Customer Success Manager · 4 must-haves

02

Slate reads every application

Each application is read in full and against the role. Slate works through the must-haves, checks each against the evidence, and keeps personal characteristics out of the read. This is the part only modern language models can do.

240 applications · read against the role · one rubric

03

You get a fair read, with reasons

For every candidate: the fit, a plain-language summary, the reasons tied to the exact lines, and the requirement-by-requirement view. You review and decide.

What you get back

A summary, the evidence, and the fit

Every candidate comes back with a plain-language read, the reasons tied to the exact lines, and a requirement-by-requirement view against the role.

Summary

A fair, plain-language read

Two or three sentences on how the application lines up with the role, with the strengths and the honest gaps to verify.

Evidence

Every reason, tied to a line

Each judgment cites a verbatim quote from the application, so a reviewer can check the read in one click.

Fit

Against the must-haves

Each requirement is marked evidenced, partial, or unclear, with a role-match indicator used only to order the read.

Renata AlvarezStrong fit

Directly owned SaaS accounts, which the role asks for

Managed a book of 40 mid-market SaaS accounts worth $2.1M in ARR.

How it stays honest

Fair by design, and a human decides

Bias-reduction by design

Name, age, gender, school and employer prestige are kept out of the screen. Slate judges the work and the evidence, applies one rubric to everyone, and never auto-rejects.

Read our fairness approach

Model-agnostic

Slate routes across leading language models per task, so it can trade quality against cost and is never locked to one provider. The read stays consistent as the models improve.
