Built for small hiring teams

CV screening software for small business

Screen growing applicant volumes with clear criteria, explainable results, and no forced ATS replacement.

Useful from the first hiring spike

Hiring lands on a founder or manager who cannot spend a day opening CVs.

Keep job details, applications, and evidence-led candidate review together.

Regular team growth

Different reviewers apply different standards across roles and departments.

Confirm one screening rubric, then review the same evidence for every candidate.

Growing applicant volume

Job details, candidate sources, applications, and review decisions are spread across tools.

Connect job publishing, sourcing, application management, and explainable screening in one workflow.
