Start with fit
A good candidate submission workflow protects your time. It also protects the candidate from being sent badly.
The order matters. If you format first and review fit later, you waste time on candidates you may not submit. Start with the vacancy and the CV together.
Use scoring before editing
Matching and scoring give you a fast first read. The score is useful, but the rationale is usually more important because it explains what aligns and what needs a human check.
That is the moment to decide whether the candidate is worth preparing, whether you need more context, or whether the submission needs a caveat.
Make the rest boring
Once the candidate is worth submitting, the rest should be repeatable: clean facts, tailor the profile, apply branding, export, review, send.
The recruiter still owns the decision. The workflow just removes the repeated admin decisions that slow the desk down.
