AI candidate screening that shows who fits

Every new application with a CV gets one of four verdicts against your criteria, with a reason for each criterion. Filter the pipeline by verdict and start where the fit is clear.

AI candidate screening that shows who fits

How it works

Set the criteria once, and new CVs arrive screened

You set the criteria and make the calls. Screening runs in between.

Step 1
Set the criteria

Set the criteria

Switch on AI scoring for the vacancy and let AI draft must-haves, nice-to-haves and red flags from the job description. Edit, then save.

Step 2
Applications arrive screened

Applications arrive screened

Applications with a CV are checked as they land, from your career site, job boards, Prospector or an import.

Step 3
Filter and decide

Filter and decide

Filter the board by AI match, open the reasons behind a verdict and move people forward yourself.

AI screening: criteria

Criteria you set, with a head start from AI

Screening checks each application against the criteria on the vacancy. AI drafts them from the job description, and you decide what stays.

  • A first draft from your job description

    Generate with AI turns the job title and description into up to five points per list, ready to edit.

  • Must-haves and nice-to-haves

  • Red flags, checked too

AI screening: verdicts

A verdict in one word, with the reasons

Every screened application gets one of four verdicts instead of a percentage. Open it to see how the CV measured up, criterion by criterion.

  • No match, OK, Good or Brilliant

    Color-coded on the candidate card, in the table view and on the profile, so the pipeline reads at a glance.

  • A reason for every criterion

  • A separate verdict for each vacancy

AI screening: who decides

AI suggests. Your team decides.

Screening never moves or rejects anyone. It reads, explains and leaves the call to you.

What AI screening does

  • Reads each new CV, plus the application form and cover letter if there are any
  • Gives a one-word verdict with a reason per criterion
  • Labels every set of reasons “AI-generated — review before deciding”

What stays with your team

  • Who moves forward and who is disqualified: always a person’s action
  • Which criteria count: edit them and screen again whenever you like
  • Where it runs: AI screening is switched on vacancy by vacancy

AI screening: pipeline

Work the pipeline by verdict

Filter the vacancy board by AI match, then select a whole column and move, email or disqualify people in one go. In the table view, sort from Brilliant to No match.

AI screening: catch-up

Screen candidates you already have

Turned AI scoring on mid-vacancy or changed the criteria? Select the cards on the board and run prescreening in one step. Candidates without a CV are skipped.

AI screening: data

What the AI reads, and what it’s never sent

Screening reads the CV, the application form answers and any cover letter. Name and contacts from the profile, gender, date of birth, desired salary and fields marked sensitive are never sent.
