Can I filter for ASE certifications?
Yes. Add ASE or brand-specific certifications to your criteria and SiftFirst will score each candidate with direct quotes showing which certs they hold.
How do I screen for diagnostic skills?
Set a criterion like 'experience with diagnostic software and electrical systems' and the scoring will pull relevant past roles, tools mentioned, or training from each resume.

SiftFirst scores all 100 against your priorities (certifications, experience, tool ownership) and ranks them, so you only interview the top candidates who actually match what you need.
