About the Client

Lumber is an all-in-one construction workforce management platform that seamlessly streamlines payroll, time tracking, safety, compliance, field productivity, rewards, and recognition for building contractors.

Business Challenge

LumberFi’s recruiters manually reviewed resumes against job descriptions, limiting candidate volume and scalability. Formatting shortlisted resumes into client-ready templates also took 25–30 minutes per CV.

LumberFi needed to:

Screen more candidates without adding recruiters
Evaluate skills, experience, employment stability, gaps, and risks consistently
Make candidate recommendations traceable to source resumes
Reduce repetitive resume review
Automate client-ready CV formatting
Maintain a searchable record of previous screening decisions

Estuate Solution

Estuate designed and deployed RecruitMindIQ, branded for LumberFi as ProfileIQ. Powered by Claude, the platform replaces manual keyword matching with structured, source-backed candidate evaluation.

RecruitMindIQ provides:

Recruiter chat: Source-cited answers from uploaded resumes
Bulk screening: 100+ resumes evaluated against a job description in one cycle
CV formatting: Automated conversion into client-ready templates
Report history: Searchable, reusable records of previous evaluations
Video screening: AI-enabled assessment of shortlisted candidates

Recruiters retain control of candidate selection and final hiring decisions.

Business Impact

In the first two months following the July 2026 go-live, LumberFi increased candidate throughput without expanding its recruiting team.

10,051 profiles screened, 2.6× the manual process
4,140 profiles submitted, more than 2× the previous volume
7,291 candidates shortlisted, 73% of profiles screened
Automated CV formatting, saving 25–30 minutes per selected candidate
Created a searchable history of candidate evaluations

These gains were achieved while retaining recruiter review and control over candidate decisions.

How Claude Powers RecruitMindIQ

Claude powers RecruitMindIQ’s document understanding, recruiter chat, bulk screening, skill-gap analysis, and interview assessment. It uses relevant information from resumes and job descriptions to produce structured scores and source-cited responses, which are checked against the original documents. This gives recruiters clear, traceable recommendations while keeping final decisions in their hands.
