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.

300+

Applications now received per open role on average, roughly triple the 2021 figure.

17.7

Hours of administrative work per vacancy reported by UK HR teams — more than two working days.

7.4s

The average first scan of a CV. Under that pressure, the same standard is not applied to everyone.

Three steps to a ranked shortlist

No new process to learn. Start with the job description you already have.

  1. 1

    Add the job description

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

  2. 2

    Upload the CVs

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

  3. 3

    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.
