AI CV Screening — FAQs
What is AI CV screening?+
AI CV screening uses machine learning and language models to read every CV against a job description and produce a ranked, scored shortlist with written reasoning — replacing manual CV reading and basic keyword filters.
How accurate is CVSense AI CV screening?+
CVSense scores each required skill on the actual evidence in the CV — projects, dates, outcomes, qualifications — rather than keyword frequency. That makes shortlists significantly more accurate than keyword-based ATS scoring, especially for senior or regulated roles.
Is AI CV screening legal in the UK?+
Yes. AI CV screening is legal in the UK when used as a decision-support tool with human oversight, transparent scoring criteria and data-protection safeguards. CVSense is UK-hosted, GDPR-compliant, and publishes its scoring methodology and AI Ethical Policy.
Does CVSense AI CV screening introduce bias?+
CVSense is designed to mitigate bias: it scores against the requirements you set, surfaces evidence rather than demographic signals, and produces written reasoning that recruiters can audit. See our AI Ethical Policy for full details.
How fast is CVSense AI CV screening?+
Most recruiters get a fully scored, ranked shortlist of 100 CVs in under 10 minutes — including evidence-based reasoning for every score.
