About SmartShield — AI-Assisted Resume Research
SmartShield is a research assist tool for recruiters. It reads resume PDFs
wherever you already work — your ATS, inbox, or any browser tab — and
researches the claims against public sources: employers, education,
LinkedIn, cross-source consistency, and AI-written-text signals.
WHAT YOU GET
• A trust score (0–100) that shows its own arithmetic — every deducted point
is explained, category by category, with a fixed cap per category.
• Coverage — how much of the resume could actually be checked, so you know
what the score is based on. Below 40% a scan is marked "Unverified".
• Findings anchored to the exact text on the resume. Click a finding, see
the claim highlighted on the document.
• Review workflow — accept or dispute each finding right in the viewer.
Disputed findings visibly retire; your verdicts sync to the dashboard.
• Share a read-only report link or export a polished PDF.
• Works on scanned resumes (OCR), Word documents, plain text, and images.
FITS HOW YOU WORK
• Scan This Page works on any tab — LinkedIn profiles, Google Docs, ATS
candidate views.
• Upload or drag-and-drop files straight into the viewer.
• Light and dark themes (dark by default), keyboard shortcuts (Alt+Shift+S
scans the current tab), resizable findings panel, adjustable text size.
• Free tier: 10 guest scans, no account needed. Connect a free Cadient
account to keep history, review findings, and share reports.
WHAT SMARTSHIELD IS NOT
SmartShield surfaces research signals from public sources and AI-assisted
analysis to support human review. It is not a background check, not a
consumer report, and never makes hiring decisions. Findings can be
inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated — independent verification is required
before relying on any of them. Decisions about candidates always remain
with you.
Privacy: resume text is processed to produce your report and then redacted
from our systems. See https://cadient.ai/smart-shield/privacy

## What's new (release notes)
**2.0 — review, explain, and theme**
• Review findings without leaving the viewer — accept ✓ or dispute ✗ each
one; verdicts sync to your dashboard.
• The findings panel now opens with a score dial, risk tier, coverage, and a
plain-language summary of what drove the score.
• "Why this score" shows tier gates and per-finding point impact, plus a
per-category coverage breakdown and a built-in glossary.
• Share a 7-day read-only report link or grab the PDF from the viewer.
• Light theme — toggle in the toolbar, or set a default in Options.
• Keyboard shortcuts: Alt+Shift+S scans the current tab; j/k walk findings;
arrow keys turn pages.
• Filter findings by status; the popup now lists your recent scans.
• New Options page: theme, layout reset.
• Refreshed visual design across the viewer and popup, matching the Cadient
dashboard, with improved colour contrast throughout.
• Faster on long PDFs (pages render as you scroll) and a tighter content
security policy.
