What a real run looks like
Candidate scored 9/10 — courtesy reply drafted.
Application email with a resume attached, screened against the Senior Backend Engineer JD. Score cleared the threshold (8), so a Gmail draft was created and the row landed in Notion.
gmail
Candidate: Marcus Reyes Score: 9/10 Summary: 7 years backend (Python + Go), led payment reliability at Notion, shipped high-scale queue infra. Strong communicator based on writing samples. Top skills: Distributed systems, Postgres, Kafka, Go, incident review Reasoning: Directly matches "reliability + queue depth" from the JD. Level lines up with Senior; company history suggests he'd land soft. One concern: no mgmt experience — flag if we're actually hiring for a lead. 📧 Draft reply (in your Gmail): "Hi Marcus — thanks for applying to the Senior Backend Engineer role. Your background at Notion caught our eye. We'd love to set up a 30-min chat this week. Are Tues/Wed afternoons workable?"

Frequently askedQuestions about Job Application Screener+
How long does it take to set up Job Application Screener?+

About 60 seconds. Connect Gmail, fill in the plain-English fields the template asks for, and hit Activate. Pilotran runs the workflow once against sample data so you can see what Claude does before it touches your real accounts.

Can I edit Job Application Screener after activating it?+

Yes — pause, edit the prompt, tweak the fields, or delete the workflow at any time from your Workflows page. Paused workflows keep their run history and can be resumed later.

Which AI model runs my workflow?+

Every workflow uses Anthropic's Claude by default. On any paid plan you can add your own Anthropic or OpenAI API key and pay providers directly for unlimited runs — Pilotran only meters when it's on our shared credits.

Does Pilotran train AI models on my data?+

No. Your workflow data is only used to execute the workflows you activated. We do not train models on your data or share it with third parties.

What happens if a run fails?+

Pilotran's Failure Doctor auto-explains what broke (bad credentials, invalid input, provider rate limit, etc.) and suggests a fix. Failed runs don't disappear — you can retry any run from the Runs page.
