How It Works

How AI CV Screening Works

From job description to ranked shortlist in five simple steps. Here's exactly what happens when you screen CVs with CV Shortlister.

The 5 steps of AI CV screening

  1. 1

    Add Job Description

    Paste or write the job description for the role you're hiring for. This is what CV Shortlister's AI uses as the benchmark to evaluate every candidate against.

  2. 2

    Upload CVs in Bulk

    Upload as many CVs as you have — one at a time or hundreds at once. No manual sorting or renaming required before you start.

  3. 3

    AI Evaluates Every Candidate

    Our AI reads each CV in full and compares it against the job description, checking skills, experience, education, and other role-specific criteria.

  4. 4

    Review Scores and Reasoning

    Every candidate gets a match score along with a clear explanation of why they scored that way, so you can trust the result instead of guessing.

  5. 5

    Generate Ranked Shortlist

    CV Shortlister ranks every candidate from best to worst fit, giving you a ready-to-use shortlist in minutes instead of hours of manual screening.
