AI CV Screening for Engineering Recruiters
— CEng, IEng and chartered-status scoring on evidence
We don’t keyword-match. We interrogate.
CVSense® Evidence-Based Skill Validation (EBSV) is our proprietary screening engine. Instead of counting keywords like a legacy ATS, EBSV interrogates every CV against the job description and classifies each skill as evidenced, claimed without evidence, ormissing — so your shortlist is built on proof, not buzzwords.
Evidence-based scoring
Every claimed skill is cross-checked against the candidate’s own experience, projects and outcomes — not just job titles.
Tri-state classification
EBSV labels each required skill as Evidenced, Claimed or Missing — giving recruiters a defensible, audit-ready shortlist rationale.
False-skill detection
EBSV detects CVs that pad keyword density without supporting context — cutting CV fraud and keyword-stuffing from your pipeline.
