AI-assisted CV screening

Spend your time on the right candidates, not on reading every CV

HireRank turns incoming CVs into structured candidate profiles, assesses each one against your vacancy requirements, and shows you the evidence — so your team finds strong candidates faster and makes every hiring decision itself.

The problem

Manual CV review does not scale with your inbox

A single vacancy can attract hundreds of CVs in different formats. Reading each one against the same requirements is slow, inconsistent between reviewers, and easy to get wrong when you are busy.

  • Every CV is read against the same vacancy requirements.
  • You see why a candidate fits — and where they fall short — before you open the CV.
  • Your pipeline lives in one place instead of across inboxes and spreadsheets.
How it works

From vacancy to shortlist in five steps

  1. Create a vacancy

    Set the role, department, and the requirements that matter: required skills, experience, education, and nice-to-haves.

  2. Receive or upload CVs

    Upload PDF or Word CVs, or let applications arrive by email. Each one becomes a candidate record, not a loose attachment.

  3. HireRank structures each profile

    Skills, experience, education, and a short summary are extracted into a consistent profile you can scan in seconds.

  4. AI assesses fit against the vacancy

    Each application gets a strong, moderate, or weak fit recommendation, with the evidence for every requirement and the gaps.

  5. Recruiters decide

    Review the evidence, shortlist, interview, and hire. Every stage change is a recruiter's decision.

AI that shows its working

AI assists your judgement. It does not make the hiring decision.

HireRank gives each application one of three recommendations — never a hidden score — and backs it with the evidence behind every requirement.

Strong fitModerate fitWeak fit
  • Each required and nice-to-have requirement is shown with the CV evidence that supports it.
  • Strengths and potential gaps are listed side by side.
  • Employment Equity and other protected attributes are excluded from matching.
  • Shortlisting, interviews, offers, and hires are always a recruiter's action.
HireRank match evidence for one candidate: a strong fit recommendation with each required and preferred requirement listed alongside the supporting evidence from the CV.
