Spec score 7.6 #14 of 36 in Candidate Screening Software

What it is

HRClaw is a local-first recruiting copilot for creating job scorecards, reviewing batches of resumes and capturing candidate details from browser pages. It turns a job description into a reusable scorecard with hard filters, required and preferred signals, interview questions and red flags. Recruiters can import PDF, DOC and DOCX resumes in batches; HRClaw extracts candidate profiles and supports recommendations, reviews or rejections with evidence. An OCR fallback is included for scanned PDFs. A Chrome MV3 side panel captures candidate detail pages and sends them to the same scoring backend used for resume imports. The browser plugin also tracks candidate status, notes, communication results and follow-up times. Results can be shared as JSON or Markdown, or formatted for Feishu, DingTalk, Slack and Teams. The project is free and open source under the MIT license. Listed platforms include an extension, macOS, self-hosted use, web and Windows. The README describes a local app and lists workflow customization, team calibration, deployment assistance and enterprise process adaptation as private deployment or service options.
