Any idea why they were screened out?

Anyways, its an interesting idea, I'd personally try to check out, looking for a career change in the future. However, I've used some "AI" buzzword products before that seemed rather superficial and didn't end up being theta helpful, so I'd have to try it.

Them being unobviously relevant essentially de-prioritized them. Harder case to make for me to hire them.

Wow, this resonates. Same experience in my prior hiring manager roles. Quick clarifying question from the recruiters perspective: they personally screened them out after a screening call or the ATS screened them out without/minimal human engagement?

They personally screened them out without a call. Actually it's also possible that the ATS screened them out.

however, I just dug everyone up from the applicants pool. Why? directly related talents were kind of rare for me.
