THE PROBLEM WITH MORE

A fuller inbox.
A thinner view
of each person.

AI makes applications easier to send. A crowded inbox still leaves you with the hardest question: who could be right for this role?

01

The volume buries the context.Good applications become harder to give the attention they deserve.

02

Exact keywords miss different paths.A different title or industry can hide relevant experience.

03

Missing details become missed chances.An unanswered question can look like a reason to move on.

HUMAN JUDGMENT, SUPPORTED

A little more context.
A lot more humanity.

Technology should help you understand the person you’re considering. Folio keeps the evidence visible and the decision in your hands.

Explore the workspace

Every application stays in the picture.No automated rejections. Missing information becomes a question to explore.

The source is part of the story.Review the original words and confirm the experience through conversation.

A person is more than a prediction.Discuss goals and practical preferences directly. Growth plans stay conditional.

What makes Folio different from a keyword filter?

Folio brings direct evidence, related experience, and missing context into one review. It helps you inspect the source and ask better questions. An unanswered requirement stays an open question; it never automatically removes someone from the candidate pool.

Can I try it with my own job description and résumés?

Yes. In the product preview you can create a role, edit its review dimensions, and import PDF, DOCX, TXT, Markdown, or CSV applications. You can also paste application text. Text-based PDFs are supported; scanned PDFs need selectable text or a pasted transcription.

Does Folio make the hiring decision?

Your team makes the decision. Reviewers choose who to shortlist and move through the pipeline. Archiving an application requires a recorded reason and can be reversed. No candidate is automatically rejected.

Does it predict performance or employee loyalty?

Growth scenarios are conditional plans to discuss with a candidate, not predictions. Folio does not infer loyalty or future intentions from a résumé. Work preferences and self-reported commute are conversation context and do not affect evidence coverage.

What is available in the current preview?

Role setup, adjustable work priorities, résumé import, local evidence matching, candidate comparisons, conditional growth scenarios, reviewer notes, and a hiring pipeline are available now. A live language model is not connected by default. The local preview uses transparent term and phrase matching and can miss nuance.

How is candidate information stored?

The current preview stores extracted application text, roles, notes, and decisions in your browser. Original uploaded files are not retained. You can export a workspace backup. Shared company storage and team accounts are not implemented yet; a live AI review requires a configured model connection.
