Features
Every feature, in the order you hire.
Marxel is an applicant tracking system with CV screening built in. Here is everything it does, from the first job post to the last decision email. Each feature says who it’s for, so recruiters, hiring managers and applicants can go straight to their part.
Stage 1 of 9
Publish
Listings that tell candidates what they need to know, and bring applications straight into Marxel.
Public vacancies
Every listing carries pay, location, the interview process and an expiry date. Live listings are reconfirmed every 30 days.
RecruitersApplicantsPay up front
A salary range is required to publish, marked as base pay or on-target earnings. Bonus, commission and equity are each answered, even when the answer is None.
ApplicantsA stated response time
Set a response commitment of 1 to 90 days. Applicants see the date they should hear by, and you see what is due.
RecruitersApplicantsVerified employers
Organisations are checked against public registers such as Companies House before a vacancy can go live.
ApplicantsCareers page and custom domain
A careers page with your logo and accent colour. Embed it on your site, or run it on your own domain.
RecruitersApplicantsJob board feeds
Share an XML feed of your Live Vacancies that Indeed, Adzuna, Talent.com and Jooble can read. Switch each vacancy in or out, and see which board an application came from.
RecruitersBias checker
Flags gendered, age-coded, ability and cultural wording, and requirements a role doesn’t need, in a job description, with a suggested rewrite.

Stage 2 of 9
Criteria
Agree what good looks like before anyone reads a CV.
Briefing notes become criteria
Paste the JD and your call notes. Marxel drafts must-haves, nice-to-haves, soft criteria and red flags, each with a weight.
RecruitersHiring managersReview before screening
Edit, reweight or remove anything before a CV is read. Duties stay out, so “runs the weekly payroll” never becomes a must-have.
RecruitersHiring managersChange criteria from Ask Marxel
Ask Marxel to add or remove a criterion, soft criterion or red flag. Nothing changes until you approve it.
Recruiters
Stage 3 of 9
Candidates
Every source lands on the same role, labelled by where it came from.
Passwordless applications
Applicants apply with a one-time email code instead of a password, and choose which optional details to share.
RecruitersApplicantsBulk CV upload
Upload up to 500 CVs in one screening run.
RecruitersCandidate sourcing
Marxel searches professional profiles against your criteria and shows how it searched. You choose who to add to the job.
RecruitersCandidate Pool suggestions
Candidates you screened for earlier roles are suggested when they fit a new one.
RecruitersCandidate Fields
Choose the facts to pull from every CV, such as notice period or languages, as text, a number, a date or a pick list. They never change the Best match.
RecruitersHiring managersMy Applications
Applicants follow each application through Applied, Reviewing, Interviewing and Decision, see the next promised update, and can withdraw until a decision is made.

Stage 4 of 9
Screening
Every CV read against the same criteria, with the evidence on show.
Best match, with the CV evidence
Strong, Good, Partial or Low, always shown with the must-haves met and the CV quote behind each criterion.
Read about transparent reasoning →RecruitersHiring managersConsistent across the batch
Every CV in the batch is read against the same confirmed criteria, so their Best matches compare like for like.
RecruitersFollow-up questions
Where a CV leaves a gap, Marxel suggests the question to ask before you decide.
RecruitersHiring managersAsk Marxel
Ask who to interview first, who narrowly missed, or what came in today. Answers link back to the CV evidence, and you can open a Candidate without leaving the chat.
RecruitersHiring managers
Stage 5 of 9
Interview
Every interviewer tests the same criteria, and you see where they agree.
Booking links
Invite to interview sends a booking link from your own Gmail or Outlook. Candidates book, change or cancel from your free times, or from times you choose.
RecruitersInterviewer pools
Spread interviews across a named group, with a weekly limit for each person. On Plus and Business.
RecruitersInterview kits
Each interviewer gets the criteria, the CV quote behind each one and questions to ask. The kit is fixed when the interview is booked, so re-screening never changes it.
RecruitersHiring managersEvidence, written independently
Interviewers record what they saw against each criterion. Colleagues’ evidence stays hidden until they submit their own.
RecruitersHiring managersGuest interviewers
Add someone without a seat. They get a personal link to the kit and their own evidence form, and never see the CV, contact details or the decision.
RecruitersHiring managersDebrief
Every interviewer’s evidence side by side, showing where they agree, split or have gaps. Nothing is totalled or averaged, and a named person records the decision.
RecruitersHiring managers
Stage 6 of 9
Decide
People make the decision, and Marxel keeps the record.
Compare view
Two to four Candidates side by side against the same criteria, with Differences only and re-screen in place. Marxel shows the evidence. You make the call.
RecruitersHiring managersMove any Candidate, with a note
Move a Candidate between Screening Buckets and say why. Each move records who made it and when.
RecruitersHiring managersReject with reason
Pick a reason from a fixed list for your reporting. The candidate never sees it. Undo within 30 seconds, or schedule the email for later.
RecruitersAsk Marxel actions wait for approval
When Ask Marxel suggests moving Candidates, adding a note, re-screening or changing the criteria, it shows a Needs approval card first.
RecruitersHiring managersActivity record
Criteria approvals, moves, notes, rejections and emails in one record for each job.
RecruitersHiring managersRecord a hire
Record the offer-accepted date, close the job, and see time to fill and time to hire.

Stage 7 of 9
Communicate
Candidate Mail: email candidates from your own inbox, with a second pair of eyes on every decision.
Your own mailbox
Connect Gmail or Outlook. Emails go from your own address. Outlook replies land on the Candidate’s thread in Marxel; Gmail replies stay in your inbox.
RecruitersHiring managersShared templates
Templates fill in the first name, job title and sender for you. Owners and Admins keep them up to date.
RecruitersDecision emails, reviewed
Every decision email is approved by an Owner or Admin other than the sender. Reviewers work from the Needs approval list and can send an email back with a note.
RecruitersHiring managersBatch emails
Email up to 100 Candidates at once and follow the delivery status of each one.
RecruitersThreads with participant roles
Each thread marks who is the candidate, who is on your team and who is someone else, so you reply to the right person.
RecruitersHiring managersBranded candidate emails
Application confirmations and decision emails carry your logo and accent colour, and fall back to Marxel’s when they aren’t set.

RecruitersHiring managersSAML single sign-on
