How screening works in softgarden
softgarden is applicant management software from Germany that employers use to run career sites, publish jobs on job boards and process applications as a team. Your resume and the form answers become one candidate profile that HR and the hiring department review together.
How softgarden processes and ranks applications
The technical criteria the software uses to read, rank and evaluate resumes.
Application through the career site
Candidates usually apply on the employer’s career site. Resume, cover letter and form fields are combined into a single candidate profile.
Joint review
HR and the hiring department see the same profile and rate it in turn. A clearly structured resume is easy to grasp without specialist knowledge.
AI assistants
softgarden offers, among other things, an AI screening assistant. How far a company uses it is its own choice; clear job titles and skills help either way.
- Multi-column layouts or graphics that leave the parsed profile incomplete.
- Gaps or unclear date ranges in your history that go unexplained.
- Job titles and skills that do not match the terms in the job posting.
- Checks that your resume is read cleanly and in the right order.
- Audits the structure and traceability of your history against German-market expectations.
- Compares your terms with the job posting and shows missing keywords.
- Generates a cover letter targeted at the specific role.

Questions about softgarden and the GriffoWork audit
Does softgarden evaluate my resume automatically?
The software supports team processing: it collects applications, reads out details and makes them comparable. People decide who moves forward. A clean, readable resume still helps.
Which format should my resume use?
Follow the posting. If it is open, a PDF with selectable text or a simple single-column .docx is the safest choice.
