Example shortlist. Scores support your decision — they do not make it.
The pile got bigger. Your week didn't.
Application volumes have climbed sharply while the time available to review them has not. Reading every CV properly is no longer realistic, and skimming means good candidates get missed.

Paste it in. CVio pulls out the skills, experience, qualifications and practical requirements it actually asks for — and nothing it doesn't.
-

Add the applications you have received. Every CV is measured against the same criteria, in the same way, however many there are.

Review the shortlist
Candidates arrive ranked, with a score for each area and the evidence behind it — including where someone falls short.
Built for whoever is doing the reading
Hiring for your company
Work through hundreds of direct applications without adding anyone to the team. Every applicant is assessed against the same requirements, so strong candidates are not missed because they arrived late on a Friday.
Recruitment agencies
Get a ranked shortlist to your client sooner, with a clear breakdown of how each candidate matches the brief. Spend the time you save on the conversations that win the placement.
Consistent criteria. Visible evidence.
CVio measures candidates against the requirements in your job description — not a keyword guess, and not requirements it invented. Every score comes with the evidence behind it, so you can check the reasoning and disagree with it.
Shortlisting is decision support. The hiring decision stays yours.
