How ARS Helps You Find the Best Candidates in Seconds
Let’s face it—recruiters today don’t have the luxury of time. When 100, 500, or even 1000 candidates apply for a single role, how do you find the right one fast—without skipping over hidden gems?
ACHNET’s Applicant Ranking System (ARS), an AI-Enhanced ATS powered by our AI Agent iJupiter™, solves this problem head-on. It does what traditional ATS systems can’t: it reads every profile, understands your job’s context, and instantly ranks candidates based on how well they match the role.
The Resume Screening Problem
- Recruiters spend 6–7 seconds per resume on average
- Formatting inconsistencies confuse keyword filters
- Hidden talent gets lost in the pile
- Manual shortlisting delays hiring and burns out TA teams
What Makes ARS Different?
Instead of searching for a few keywords or years of experience, ARS dives deep into six dimensions of candidate relevance. For each applicant, it calculates an overall ARS Score based on:
- Location Match
- Education Match
- Designation Match
- Experience Match
- Skills Match
- Responsibilities Match
Each parameter is scored individually and shown transparently. You don’t just get a number—you get context.
Example: Candidate A’s ARS Breakdown
| Parameter | Match % | ARS Insight |
|---|---|---|
| Location Match | 75% | Lives in the same state as job location |
| Education Match | 90% | Bachelor’s in a relevant discipline |
| Designation Match | 70% | Held a similar job title recently |
| Experience Match | 60% | 12 years of experience, mostly relevant |
| Skills Match | 84% | 13 of 15 skills matched, 7 used recently |
| Responsibilities Match | 88% | 6 of 7 responsibilities handled |
| Composite ARS Score | 75% | High match—ranks in top 10% of applicants |
Instantly Surface the Right Talent
Here’s how recruiters use ARS in real-world workflows:
- Post a Job: Upload your JD or generate one with iJupiter™ prompts
- Let Candidates Apply: From job boards, referrals, or internal mobility
- ARS Auto-Ranks: Scores and sorts applicants as they apply
- Start from the Top: Begin with the top 10 ranked candidates
- Combine with Interviews & Assessments: Even sharper shortlists
But What About Quality?
ARS isn’t just fast—it’s smart. It evaluates candidates holistically:
- Checks skill recency and practical usage
- Evaluates relevance of experience, not just duration
- Assesses if candidate responsibilities overlap with your JD
- Flags gaps, inconsistencies, or mismatches
That’s how ARS helps you confidently zero in on the top 5%, 10%, or 20%—without the second-guessing.
Why Recruiters Love ARS
Ask any recruiter who’s used ARS and they’ll say: “It saved me hours, and I didn’t miss a single strong candidate.”
No more endless PDF scanning or guesswork. ARS applies the same structured logic to every candidate, while still giving you the final say. It’s structured, consistent, and scalable.
Final Thoughts
Finding the best candidate shouldn’t take weeks. It should take minutes—with the right intelligence doing the heavy lifting. That’s the power of ACHNET’s ARS. Whether you're hiring at scale or for niche roles, ARS brings structure, clarity, and speed to every decision.
