How AI CV screening works
CV Ingestion
CVs from job boards, email, ATS, and direct applications parsed automatically — PDF, Word, and LinkedIn profiles.
Data Extraction
AI extracts structured data: work history, skills, qualifications, location, salary expectations, and notice period.
Requirement Matching
Each CV scored against your role requirements — must-haves, nice-to-haves, and deal-breakers. Weighted scoring, not just keyword matching.
Ranking & Shortlisting
Candidates ranked by fit. Top candidates highlighted. Borderline candidates flagged for human review.
Bias Reduction
Screening criteria focus on skills and experience. Demographic data is anonymised during scoring to reduce unconscious bias.
Outreach Trigger
Shortlisted candidates automatically receive personalised outreach. Rejected candidates get polite, timely notifications.
