From job brief to shortlist in three steps.

No training. No setup. Ready in 60 seconds.

01

Upload your job description

Paste the text, drop a file, or import directly from a job board URL. CV Matcher extracts every required skill, qualification, and experience signal automatically.

02

Drop in your CVs

Upload hundreds of PDFs, Word docs, or text files in one go. The AI reads every CV in parallel — no waiting, no one-by-one processing.

03

Get a ranked shortlist with explanations

Every candidate is scored by skills match percentage, with a clear breakdown of matched skills and skill gaps. See exactly why candidate #1 ranked above candidate #47 — data you can explain to any client.

Manual screening vs CV Matcher

200 CVs hit your inbox. Here's what happens next — the old way, and the new way.

Without CV Matcher
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
Ranked shortlist.
Ready in 60 seconds.
Upload 200 CVs + job description — AI scores every candidate in < 60 seconds
Consistent AI scoring against the actual job requirements — zero bias, same standard for CV #1 and #200
Top 10% surfaced instantly — you review 20 candidates, not 200, and focus on what matters
Full skills breakdown per candidate — explain every score to clients with confidence
Call the client back same day with a shortlist — faster than competitors, win more retainers

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 $29/month question answers itself.

Everything a recruitment agency needs

Precision tools built for agencies managing high-volume hiring across multiple clients.

Smart Job Import

Upload PDFs, Word docs, or paste text. Our parser structures job requirements automatically — no manual tagging needed.

NLP Skills Matching

Our AI understands semantics — not just keywords. It matches "stakeholder management" to "client-facing project lead" automatically.

Bulk CV Upload

Process hundreds of CVs simultaneously. Drop your entire applicant folder in at once — we handle the rest in parallel.

Skills Gap Analysis

See exactly which of your required skills each candidate has, which are missing, and which are partially matched — at a glance.

Secure & Isolated

All candidate data is encrypted and stored in isolated, agency-level environments. Your clients' data never touches another agency's.

Results in Seconds

From upload to ranked shortlist in under a minute. Available 24/7 — screen CVs the moment they arrive, even at 11pm before a deadline.

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.

Built for agencies doing real volume

"We were spending nearly two days a week just sorting CVs before we could even start proper candidate assessment. CV Matcher cut that to a couple of hours. The skills gap breakdown is the part I didn't expect to love — I can tell a client exactly why a candidate made the shortlist."
SK
Sarah K.
Director — boutique recruitment agency, 6 consultants
"I was sceptical because 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.' That would've been invisible with keyword search."
MT
Marcus T.
Senior Recruiter — tech & digital staffing
"We ran 157 CVs against a DevOps brief and had a ranked shortlist in under a minute. The top 20 candidates were genuinely the right people — two of them got interviews the same 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 $29/month.

Common questions

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 $29/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.
