You post a job looking for a post editor, and within a few hours, your inbox is flooded. You get excited and spend hours reviewing applications, only to realize that most of them are spam. Spotting a qualified post editor feels impossible. If this sounds familiar, this post is for you.

Before we look at the solution, let’s first look at why this is happening

Many candidates are carelessly using AI auto-apply tools to submit hundreds of applications, even when they are asleep, flooding you with spam. Others are blindly using AI tools to polish their applications and mirror your job post word-for-word just to game the system.

And the worst part is that traditional ATS platforms do not help filter out such candidates upfront. Instead, they rely on keyword matching to score and rank candidates. But the problem is that candidates are already using AI to polish applications for those keywords. It ends up as AI judging AI, creating zero real value for everyone involved.

So, what should you be doing instead?

• Instead of wasting time on resume screening, consider hiring with a system that screens candidates for performance like Workscreen. It cuts through the noise by automatically filtering out unqualified applicants and gives you a shortlist of the best post editors, saving you hours and helping you hire faster. This also means that you will not deal with spam applicants.
• Once you have your shortlist, you can then interview and skill-test candidates. Skill testing before hiring is crucial to ensure a post editor can actually perform on the job. And you can do this easily from the hiring platform.

So, if you’re tired of wasting time on spam applications and just want to hire the best post editors fast, check out Workscreen.
