Applicant Ranking System (ARS): How AI Prioritizes Top Talent Instantly
Hiring the right candidate isn’t just about resumes and interviews—it’s about quickly identifying who’s the best fit based on real, role-specific data.
That’s where ACHNET’s Applicant Ranking System (ARS) comes in. ARS is an AI-enhanced ATS that analyzes every applicant’s relevance to the job, qualifies, and ranks them automatically, saving recruiters hours of manual effort and improving the quality of hiring decisions.
Why Traditional Screening Falls Short
Manual resume screening is time-consuming, inconsistent, and prone to unconscious bias. Two candidates with nearly identical skills can be evaluated very differently depending on the recruiter, the time of day, or even the formatting of the resume.
In high-volume hiring scenarios, this inconsistency multiplies—leading to lost time, overlooked talent, and bad hires.
What Is ARS?
ARS stands for Applicant Ranking System. It is an AI-enhanced ATS and a core feature of ACHNET’s AI Agent. It evaluates each applicant against your job description and auto-generates a composite relevance score based on multiple weighted criteria.
Every candidate gets an ARS Score on a 100-point scale, making it easy to spot top talent instantly.
What Does ARS Analyze?
- Location Match: 75% — Based on proximity and relocation readiness.
- Education Match: 90% — Evaluates degree relevance to the role.
- Designation Match: 70% — Assesses title and responsibility alignment.
- Experience Match: 60% — Measures years and role relevance.
- Skills Match: 84% — Assesses required and recently applied skills.
