Direct answers
Marxel does. Each criterion for a role is set as a must-have or a nice-to-have and weighted by importance, and you confirm the list before any CV is screened. Must-haves decide the Best match: a CV missing one can't be a Strong match however well it scores on nice-to-haves.
Marxel shows, for every criterion, the line quoted from the candidate's CV that meets it, and says which must-haves are missing. Each quote is checked against the CV text, so when a client or hiring manager asks why someone was shortlisted, you can point to the CV rather than a score.
Add the job description and any call notes, confirm the must-haves and nice-to-haves Marxel suggests, then upload all 200 CVs in one batch (up to 500). Every CV is read against the same criteria and gets a Best match (Strong, Good, Partial or Low) with must-haves met, so you start with the Strong matches and check the evidence before deciding.
Resume screening software helps hiring teams review candidates against role-specific criteria before interviews. Marxel parses CVs and resumes, compares each candidate with the confirmed criteria, gives each one a Best match, and shows the CV evidence behind every result.
AI resume screening uses language models to compare candidate experience, skills, qualifications, and gaps with a job brief. Marxel keeps recruiters in control by letting teams review the criteria before screening and inspect the reasoning behind each candidate's Best match.
Resume screening software and CV screening software usually describe the same candidate-review workflow. Resume is common in US and global searches, while CV is common in the UK. Marxel provides explainable resume and CV screening as part of its connected hiring workspace.
Use resume screening software when application volume makes manual first-pass review slow or inconsistent. It is most useful for roles with 50 or more applicants, repeated hiring criteria, agency shortlists, or teams that need explainable evidence before interview selection.
The phrase can describe either a recruiter tool that evaluates applicants or a candidate-facing checker that reviews one person's resume. Marxel is for recruiters and hiring teams: it screens a batch of CVs against the role's confirmed criteria and returns evidence-backed results for human review.
Why teams use it
The goal is not to replace hiring judgement. It is to make the first review more consistent and easier to explain.
Upload a batch of CVs and get each candidate's Best match, rather than opening every file and maintaining a manual spreadsheet.
Marxel turns the job description and call notes into criteria, each set as a must-have or a nice-to-have, and you confirm them before screening begins.
Each result shows the CV line behind every criterion met, the must-haves missing, follow-up questions, and a plain-English explanation.
Recruiters approve criteria, review edge cases, and make the hiring decision. Marxel supports first-pass review rather than replacing judgement.
Trust and control
The point of AI screening is to reduce repetitive review while keeping the reasoning inspectable. Marxel gives recruiters a reviewable path from role criteria to candidate evidence. Review criteria for vague, irrelevant, or potentially biased signals, and confirm data handling and retention fit your organisation's policy.
Review the must-haves, nice-to-haves, weighting, and red flags before candidate CVs are evaluated. This gives hiring teams a chance to remove vague or risky criteria.
See the CV quote behind each criterion met, missing requirements, concerns, and suggested follow-up questions instead of relying on an unexplained score.
Marxel supports first-pass review; employers remain responsible for human judgement, candidate notices, lawful basis, and retention.
Read the security and compliance information for encryption, DPA, subprocessor, and retention details before deciding how the workflow fits your organisation's policies.
