I worked for a largish startup (140+ people) , and the biggest pain point I personally experienced when recruiting was the sheer volume of resumes I had to sift through. Between career fairs and online applications, at one point we had 3000+ applications for 4 SWE positions. The engineering team was still fairly small (30 people) and very selective, so we would usually manually look for certain schools, a master's degree, interesting personal projects etc.

Unfortunately, at the scale we were at, it was virtually impossible to properly examine every resume. I was thinking about what would have helped me. I'm personally very against "resume ranking" because I think it can be extremely biased, but I do think resume filtering is helpful, especially for roles with more defined criteria. I built a quick tool to test this (https://distoresumes.streamlit.app/), and I'd love to hear thoughts / opinions.
