Manual CV screening doesn't scale
A single open role can attract hundreds of CVs. Reading each one takes minutes, decisions drift as fatigue sets in, and strong candidates get missed simply because they were near the bottom of the pile. AI CV screening fixes that: every CV is read with the same attention and scored against the exact requirements you set.
Because it works on the underlying text, it doesn't matter whether a candidate submitted a polished two-page PDF, a Word document, or a scanned CV — the tool parses them all and compares like for like. That makes it a good fit for global hiring, graduate intakes, and any team that receives CVs in bulk.

What is CV screening?+
CV screening is the process of reviewing curricula vitae to decide which candidates match a role. AI CV screening automates that first pass — parsing every CV, comparing it to your job requirements, and ranking applicants by fit so recruiters only read the strongest ones.
How is CV screening different from resume screening?+
"CV" and "resume" describe the same document in different regions — CV is standard across the UK, Europe, Africa, Asia and academia, while resume is common in the US. Our tool screens both identically, handling PDF, DOC, DOCX and scanned image files.
Is the CV screening tool free?+
Yes. You can screen your first batch of CVs for free — no credit card required. Paid plans unlock higher monthly volumes and team features.
Does AI CV screening introduce bias?+
Our AI scores CVs on skills, experience and role relevance rather than demographic signals, and it applies the same criteria to every applicant — which makes screening more consistent than manual review. You always see the ranked shortlist and make the final call.
Can it handle bulk CV screening?+
Yes. Upload hundreds of CVs at once and the tool parses, scores and ranks the entire batch against your job description in seconds.
