# Sightline Hire

> Sightline Hire is fair, explainable AI-driven candidate review software for HR teams. A product by HR Maximizer. It turns a stack of resumes into a ranked, evidenced shortlist in minutes — with per-criterion scoring backed by verbatim quotes, Tier A–D shortlists, star-resume calibration, privacy-by-default identity masking, and an immutable audit trail.

Sightline Hire is designed for recruiters, hiring managers, and HR operations / compliance teams who need defensible hiring decisions. The product runs entirely in the browser; data is stored in a private workspace database (AES-256 at rest) with signed-URL object storage for raw files. Evaluations use GPT-5.4 with strict JSON output under no-training terms.

## Key pages

## Core capabilities

- **Scoring with evidence** — every criterion gets a rating, a short rationale, and a verbatim quote from the resume. No black-box "overall fit" score.
- **Tiered shortlists** — candidates land in Tier A (strong match), B (promising), C (gaps), or D (not a fit), ranked inside each tier by weighted criterion coverage.
- **Star-resume calibration** — recruiters upload up to 5 de-identified top-performer resumes per role. Prompt rules forbid credit-by-association; stars only inform the bar.
- **Privacy-by-default identity** — names, photos, and demographic cues are removed before evaluation. Lists, dashboards, leaderboards, and exports show sanitized codes (e.g. `resume-A7K2.pdf`). Reveals are explicit, individual or bulk, and audited.
- **Follow-up email drafts** — personalized subject/body pre-filled from per-criterion findings; bulk personalized outreach per tier; the user's email signature is remembered.
- **Auditable decisions** — every evaluation, override, and identity reveal writes an immutable audit event with actor, timestamp, IP, and user-agent.

## Limits and operational facts

- Up to **300 candidates** per job, per evaluation pass.
- Upload limit: **15 MB per file**; formats accepted: **PDF, DOCX, TXT**.
- Default raw-file retention: **30 days**, configurable per candidate up to a hard **180-day** cap.

## Who it's for

- **Hiring managers** — get a Tier A/B/C/D view with per-criterion findings defensible in a debrief.
