AI Assistant
Lynx AI is designed to reduce copy/paste work and help you generate clear candidate submissions faster. AI is optional—everything can be done manually if you prefer.
What AI can do in Lynx
- Extract job role fields from a job description file (title, description, client info, etc.)
- Extract candidate fields from resume content
- Format resume text into a clean, readable view on the candidate profile
- Generate candidate summaries from job description + resume + notes
- Generate recruiter notes (internal-only) from context
Extracting job role info from a job description
- Create or open a job role
- Go to Role Settings
- Upload the job description file
- Click Extract to populate role fields from the file
Extraction is designed to accelerate setup. Review the extracted fields and save changes.
Extracting candidate info from a resume
When adding a candidate, you can upload a resume (or paste resume content). Lynx can extract structured fields and also produce formatted resume text for easy reading in the candidate profile.
- Open a role
- Click Add Candidate
- Upload the resume file or paste resume content
- Review extracted fields and save the candidate
Generating a candidate summary
In the candidate profile’s Summary section, you can generate an AI-powered summary or write it manually. The AI can use multiple sources of context such as:
- Job role description
- Candidate resume
- Recruiter notes
- Any additional context you provide
- Open the candidate profile
- Go to Summary
- Generate content (or type your own)
- Save the summary
Generating recruiter notes
Recruiter notes are designed for internal-only context. They are labeled as recruiter-visible only.
- Open the candidate profile
- Go to Recruiter Notes
- Generate notes (or type your own)
- Save notes
Best practices
- Treat AI output as a draft: scan for accuracy, add missing context, and remove anything irrelevant.
- Provide short, specific additional context when generating summaries (e.g., what the hiring manager cares about).
- Keep recruiter notes crisp: objections, compensation expectations, availability, and assessment highlights.
