Cangrade has introduced Job Description Decoder, a free AI-powered tool designed to help HR teams and hiring managers identify the soft skills most likely to drive success in a given role.
While hiring processes have become increasingly sophisticated, many organizations still base screening criteria on credentials, years of experience, and intuition factors that often have limited predictive value for on-the-job performance. As a result, companies may refine how they screen candidates without first clarifying what they should be screening for. Job Description Decoder aims to address this gap by analyzing job postings to uncover the competencies that matter most.
The tool uses AI to review any job description and extract the soft skills most relevant to the position. Built on Cangrade’s patented and validated technology, it generates a structured report highlighting five prioritized soft skills along with 10 tailored behavioral interview questions designed to assess those competencies. The goal is to give hiring teams clear, evidence-based criteria they can apply consistently across résumé reviews, assessments, and interviews.
HR Technology Insights:
Gershon Goren, Founder and CEO of Cangrade, said many hiring challenges stem from screening for the wrong attributes. He noted that Job Description Decoder helps employers move beyond credentials and gut instinct by identifying the skills that more accurately predict performance, allowing every stage of the hiring process to be aligned with meaningful evaluation standards.
Unlike traditional job description tools that focus primarily on keyword optimization for applicant tracking systems, Job Description Decoder is built specifically for employers seeking better hiring outcomes. Rather than relying on generic benchmarks, it analyzes the unique language and requirements of each job posting to surface role-specific soft skills.
