No more guesswork on your candidate fit with customizable scoring
Magic Columns lets you define what a great candidate looks like for your specific project. Using your own instructions, it analyzes candidate data and assigns a visual fit score so you can instantly see who’s worth progressing and who isn’t. No more CTRL+F through longlists or second-guessing your shortlists.
Your project, your scoring system
Manual candidate review is slowing you down
Every search starts with a longlist. But reviewing each profile by hand takes time you don’t have. Magic Columns reads candidate data for you and scores each one based on the criteria you define. That means less tab-switching, less second-guessing, and more time spent engaging the right people.
Every project has a different definition of ‘fit’
There’s no one-size-fits-all candidate. What works for a fintech CTO role won’t match a fast-moving contract search. Magic Columns lets you tailor the scoring to each project. Add your own instructions, like required experience, domain knowledge, or soft skills, and the assistant scores candidates based on how well they align.
Great candidates get overlooked. Not with Atlas
Strong candidates don’t always check every obvious box. Magic Columns helps you spot hidden gems by evaluating profiles against your full criteria, not limited to surface-level keywords. It gives you a clearer view of who could succeed in the role, even if their resume isn’t picture-perfect.
Your shortlists should reflect your expertise
Generic scoring tools miss the nuance of your work. Magic Columns uses your instructions to rank candidates based on what matters to you and your client. It’s your thinking, scaled, so your shortlists stay sharp, defensible, and aligned with what you know works.
Customer testimonials
Never has a CRM changed the game so much when it comes to recruitment. Jordan and the team at Atlas are building something truly incredible with the sole focus of allowing recruitment consultants to focus on what they are incredible at, being consultants. If you are a recruitment company and you’re not using Atlas, be prepared to be left behind in the dust.
We moved over to Atlas in the summer with a very tight migration timeframe. The Atlas team have been super responsive to all our queries; it’s been really refreshing to have a genuine two way engagement where suggestions and requirements are acknowledged and acted upon. The new Opportunities BD pipeline is a game changer. The pace of their innovation is incredible and genuinely exciting!
Atlas has been a game changer for People In AI: we wanted a modern ATS that utilized AI and was easily searchable, usable and fast. Atlas delivered that and more.
Atlas is the first CRM I actually enjoy using! It takes away so much of the mundane admin, the native AI features are thoughtfully designed and add genuine value (not lipstick on a pig!), and the team are fab from top to bottom! Genuinely the best tech investment I have made in the last 10 years!
In my 15 years in recruitment, I’ve never experienced such a genuine game changer as Atlas! Everything has improved, admin is non existent, and productivity has increased 10x compared to our old CRMs (Bullhorn and Vincere). If you are in recruitment, you absolutely HAVE to try it!
Atlas has been a gamechanger - Combining data collection, outreach and workflow has made my life considerably easier!
Magic Columns FAQ
What is AI candidate scoring and how does Magic Columns support it?
AI candidate scoring uses artificial intelligence to evaluate and rank candidates based on defined role criteria. Magic Columns allows enterprise recruitment agencies to define what “great” looks like for each search and automatically score candidates against those standards.
How does Magic Columns improve automated candidate screening for recruitment agencies?
For enterprise agencies managing high volume longlists, this reduces manual profile review time and minimizes the risk of overlooking qualified talent. Recruiters can quickly identify top tier candidates while deprioritizing profiles that do not meet core requirements.
Can we customize the candidate ranking criteria for different roles and clients?
Yes. Magic Columns is designed to reflect the reality that every project has a different definition of fit. Enterprise recruitment teams can input custom instructions for each role, including technical expertise, sector background, leadership experience, or soft skills. The AI then ranks candidates based on how closely they align with those instructions.
