3 days of reading.
Still not confident.
Recruiter reads every CV manually — ~6 min each, 200 CVs = 20 hours of work
Gut-feel ranking — no consistent scoring, bias creeps in by CV #50
Strong candidates buried in the pile — good hires missed because you ran out of time
Can't explain to clients why someone was shortlisted — no paper trail
Client calls while you're still screening — 3 day turnaround feels slow
With CV Matcher

What does manual CV screening actually cost you?

Most agencies guess "a few hours a week." The actual number is usually much higher — and once you see it, the $59/month question answers itself.

That's not a productivity improvement. That's a salary.

Built for agencies
doing real volume.

No ATS required — works alongside your existing tools. No training, no IT ticket. Just upload and screen.

NLP Skills Matching

Understands meaning, not just keywords. "Stakeholder management" matches "client-facing project lead." "Python scripting" matches "data automation." The AI reads the way a good recruiter reads.

Bulk CV Upload

Drop your entire applicant folder — PDFs, Word docs, text files. All processed in parallel. 200 CVs takes the same time as 10.

Skills Gap Analysis

Every candidate gets a full breakdown — matched skills, gaps, partial matches. You know what to ask before you pick up the phone.

Smart Job Import

Paste text, drop a file, or import from a job board URL. Required skills are extracted automatically — no manual tagging.

Isolated by Agency

Every account is fully isolated. Your candidates never share storage with another agency's data. GDPR-ready by design.

Results in Seconds

Shortlist in under a minute. Available 24/7 — screen CVs the moment they arrive, even at 11pm before a deadline.

Source candidates from LinkedIn & GitHub

No applicants yet? AI reads your job description, builds a search query, and finds matching profiles on LinkedIn and GitHub — then scores and ranks them the same way it scores CVs. Fill roles before you post them.

Know exactly why each candidate ranked where they did.

Every match comes with a full breakdown — matched skills, skill gaps, and a transparent score you can explain to any client.

Matched skills highlighted

See every required skill a candidate possesses, detected across the full CV — not just what's in the first 200 words.

Gaps surfaced instantly

Know what's missing before you pick up the phone. Prep your qualification questions from the analysis, not from re-reading the CV.

Explainable to clients

Present data-backed shortlists with confidence. Each score is derived from specific skill evidence — not a black-box number.

What agencies actually say.

Not curated highlights — these are the parts people bring up unprompted.

"I was sceptical — I've seen tools that just keyword-match and miss great candidates. This one actually understands context. A candidate who wrote 'talent pipelining' matched correctly against a JD that said 'proactive sourcing strategy.' Invisible with keyword search."

Marcus Thompson
Senior Recruiter, TechTalent London · tech & digital
"157 CVs against a DevOps brief, ranked shortlist in under a minute. The top 20 were genuinely the right people — two got interviews that afternoon. That used to take us most of a day."

The maths

A typical agency screening 8 roles × 75 CVs/month spends ~50 hours on first-pass CV reading. At a $55/hr loaded cost that's $2,750/month — just to sort a pile of PDFs.

CV Matcher cuts that to ~10 hours. Monthly saving: $2,200. Annual: $26,400. The subscription is $59/month.

Questions we get asked.

CV Matcher uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) to understand the meaning of text in both your job description and each CV — not just keyword matching. It extracts 50+ skills from every CV, maps them semantically to your job requirements, and scores each candidate based on how well their actual capabilities align with what you need. This means it catches skills even when they're described differently ("stakeholder management" matching "client-facing project lead", for example).
Yes. All candidate data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Each agency account operates in a completely isolated environment — your candidates' CVs are never accessible to or shared with any other agency on the platform. This is designed specifically for recruitment agencies managing confidential candidate data across multiple clients.
CV Matcher is built for bulk processing. You can upload hundreds of CVs simultaneously against a single job description. The AI processes all of them in parallel, so 200 CVs takes roughly the same time as 10. There is no manual one-by-one upload required.
CV Matcher accepts PDF, Word (.doc and .docx), and plain text files — for both job descriptions and CVs. You can also paste text directly or import a job description from a URL. No reformatting required on your end.
Yes — you can start completely free with no credit card required. The free tier lets you test one full role — upload your job description and as many CVs as you need to see exactly how the platform works before committing to anything. Premium plans start at $59/month for unlimited matching.
No — and it's not designed to. CV Matcher handles the part of recruiting that doesn't require human judgment: reading, extracting, and ranking CVs at scale. Your recruiters still make all the decisions that matter — who to call, how to assess cultural fit, how to advise candidates, how to manage client relationships. We just give them a ranked shortlist instead of a pile of PDFs.
CV Matcher ranking three candidates by skills match: 94% for Alex T., 87% for Sarah K., 71% for Liam D., each with matched and missing skill tags
