Application Screening Re-imagined

Cortex is application screening reimagined with AI assistance that reduces program’s application screening time by up to 50%. Upload your application PDFs in bulk and let Cortex’s natural language processing (NLP) and optical character recognition (OCR) pull out aggregate grades, keywords, and other important data into either snapshot or comprehensive views for screening.

Promote DEI recruitment through a technology-assisted holistic review by blinding information from reviewers to eliminate both conscious and unconscious bias while they score applicants and write notes. Leverage program-definable applicant indexes to identify optimal applicants quickly and shorten your review cycle. Once review and selection are completed, all the applicant data transfers directly into Thalamus Core for streamlined interview management.

Complete your application screening process efficiently with advanced visualization and analysis that saves faculty time and program budget while facilitating a fair, equitable, and inclusive review process.

Thalamus

Rated #1 by applicants & programs

"Thalamus has truly turned our hectic recruitment season into a joy! We are able to focus more on ensuring we show each applicant why Duke is the place for them, rather than spending it hand-scheduling each applicant. It promotes fairness, effectiveness, and most importantly, efficiency! We will never look back on what we had prior to Thalamus!"

"I cannot imagine going through interview season without Thalamus! With a program as large as ours, having an online scheduling system in which applicants can schedule and edit their interview dates, allows me the time to manage all the other processes involved with interview season. We conducted over 260 applicant interviews this year; our highest volume year ever! This would not have been possible without Thalamus! Every program needs Thalamus!"

"I recently completed my fifth interview season using Thalamus. I no longer spend countless hours on the phone or email scheduling and rescheduling interviews. Thalamus gives the applicant the control and flexibility to schedule their interview based on their availability, all the while, freeing me up to create the best interview experience possible!"

Thalamus was created through a grassroots collaboration of program directors, program coordinators and applicants/medical students to address the inefficiencies in the residency and fellowship interview management process.
