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
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.
Until this year, I’d never used a CRM. Choosing one felt overwhelming—until we found Atlas AI. Built on AI and designed with customer feedback, it’s smart, intuitive, and always improving. The real-time chat, training videos, and hands-on support are game-changing. This isn’t just a CRM; it’s the future of recruitment tech.
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!
Atlas is the best CRM platform I have ever used, it is built exactly how you think something should work utilizing the best of AI. Not only does Atlas capture everything you do, highlight everything you need to know and help uncover missed information from a simple search, the team are also fantastic. They solve tickets quickly but most importantly the Atlas you see today isn’t the Atlas you’ll have next week or in three months time. They are constantly adding new features which don’t slow anything down. Highly recommend.
Rec tech is the wild west of the industry. Overly complex workflows, the need to buy multiple pieces of software, expensive and slow to innovate. Atlas has solved all of the above problems with an AI infused platform that eliminates ‘tech stack bloat’, spiraling costs and cutting edge innovation. Add to this direct access to the founder (Jordan) and you have a recipe for the best CRM that listens to its customers and iterates faster than any of its competitors.
I've used countless recruitment systems over the year, all of them at the time were seen as ‘cutting edge’. Times have changed. In the world we now live Atlas are true pioneers in this space. Whilst others ‘bolt on’ AI, Atlas is built from the ground up. It is like having an assistant in my pocket which enables me to work faster and with greater accuracy, putting me ahead of my competition. The speed of innovation is beyond anything I have ever seen, and every new feature just feels like Christmas, the Atlas Team really are setting the bar.
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.
