arXiv:2609.19530v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hiring is bilateral: employers assess fit, while candidates present and defend evidence of their qualifications. Yet r\'esum\'e screening, the first gate, is commonly automated as a static, one-call judgment over a r\'esum\'e-job pair. We study a two-agent alternative in which employer-side and candidate-side agents represent these roles, exchange evidence, and update their judgments before deciding who advances. We compare procedures on 600 constructed r\'esum\'e-job pairs using GPT-5.5 and Claude Opus 4.7. Two-agent screening advances more applications (33.3% to 39.3% for GPT-5.5; 34.0% to 35.5% for Opus 4.7). Across three runs on the common
