# SiftFirst

> SiftFirst is a resume-screening tool for small businesses (5 to 50 employees, no HR team).
> Paste a job description and the applications; it returns a ranked shortlist where every score
> is backed by a quote from the resume. The scoring rubric is human-set and editable, and
> SiftFirst assists the ranking; it never makes the hiring decision. Free to try with no signup.

Pricing is candidate-metered: Free (25 candidates/month), Starter $39, Pro $99, Business $299.
