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
We’ve been using Atlas for the last year and it’s like nothing we’ve ever used before. The platform is so intelligent and with all communications recorded, it makes the life of a recruiter so much easier. As the platform is entirely built on AI, it saves us time on all aspects of our job. The platform is constantly evolving with new features dropping weekly, it can be hard to keep up. A huge upgrade from Bullhorn!
Atlas is ‘must use’ when it comes to recruitment technology. There’s no point in starting a recruitment business or continuing to run a recruitment business without it. You might as well say ‘I want to not win’ when you choose not to use Atlas. We cannot fathom the work that’s been done with Atlas and are excited to scale our team with it.
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!
I have used 99.9% of all the CRM and ATS systems available to third party recruiters over the course of my 26 year career in recruitment. Atlas is by far the best thing to happen to the industry in a long time. All the things that slow you down as a recruiter are taken on by Atlas, freeing you up to make waves in your niche. Many firms have scrambled to bolt AI on to their systems. Atlas has AI baked in, it is literally in the DNA of the system and it is evident in every aspect of the system. I can’t recommend Atlas highly enough.
Having Atlas is worth two VAs - the amount of time I save by not having to fill in data fields, parse CVs manually, retrofit processes to archaic systems, take notes & actually do something with those notes - like, the whole thing's done for me!
We moved from Zoho over to Atlas. The decision has been overwhelmingly positive. The basic premise alone to actually capture all of the data points for candidates and clients alike has been a game changer. Adding in everything else like campaigns, reports, and the new opportunities release for BD, we couldn’t be happier. Feature development has been rapid, with actual useful features being released. Support is extremely fast and very helpful. Highly recommended!
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.
