Candidate Shortlisting Tool

Turn a pile of CVs into a defensible shortlist — with a fit score and explainable reasoning for every candidate.

Shortlisting is where most hiring decisions are quietly made. A bad shortlist hides good candidates and wastes interview slots on weak ones.

This tool scores each CV against the job description, ranks gaps by severity, and gives you the evidence you need to defend the shortlist to a hiring manager or auditor.

Free to use for one analysis per day. Recruiter plans add saved analyses, role libraries, and higher daily limits so you can shortlist a whole vacancy in one sitting.

How many candidates can I shortlist per day?
One per day on the free tier, more on Recruiter plans. Recruiter Unlimited removes the daily cap.
Can I shortlist in bulk?
Not yet — bulk upload is on the roadmap. Today you screen one CV at a time but can save each result to compare side by side.
Does it replace recruiter judgement?
No. It does the first-pass scoring and reasoning so recruiters can spend judgement time on the candidates that matter.
Will it explain why a candidate was shortlisted?
Yes — every result includes a fit score, severity-ranked gaps, and strengths with evidence drawn from the CV.
Is the shortlist defensible under hiring audits?
Yes — because every score is tied to the job description and the reasoning is written down, you have an auditable trail per candidate.
