Built a resume filtering tool after screening 1000s manually as a dev

I was working as a software developer at a 15-person startup. We posted one job, and within days got thousands of resumes. Since we didn’t have recruiters, engineers (like me) had to manually go through them. Most didn’t match the job description at all. That experience inspired me to build FilterResumes – a tool that automatically scores and ranks resumes based on how well they match your JD. It's fully automated and works with any job description + a batch of resumes. Would love your thoughts and feedback!
