CV Ranker — automatic resume screening & shortlisting

Upload a batch of CVs and a job description; get back a ranked shortlist with a score and a reason for every candidate — so hiring starts at the interview, not the inbox.

For recruiters, hiring managers and small teams drowning in applications.

What it does

CV Ranker reads every application the way a careful recruiter would — against the exact criteria you set — and scores it consistently, whether there are 10 CVs or 300. Instead of skimming a pile and hoping you didn't miss anyone, you open a ranked shortlist where each candidate has a score and a one-line reason for their placement.

It reads for meaning, not just keywords, so a strong candidate who phrases their experience differently still surfaces. You keep every decision — the ranking is there to put the right people in front of you first.

What goes in

A job description plus a batch of CVs (PDF or Word). Upload them, or point it at your careers inbox or a shared folder.

What you get back

A ranked, scored shortlist with a short reason per candidate and which criteria each one met or missed — exportable as a top-N list.

What it handles

  • Scores every CV against your must-haves and nice-to-haves
  • Reads for meaning, so it doesn't miss strong candidates who word things differently
  • A transparent reason for each ranking — never a mystery score
  • Handles large batches with the same standard applied every time
  • Re-run any time new applications arrive
  • Files processed transiently and never stored

How it runs

1

You set the criteria

Describe a strong candidate for this role — must-haves, nice-to-haves, and anything that rules someone out.

2

It reads every application

Each CV is assessed against your criteria consistently, no matter how many there are.

3

It ranks and explains

You get a scored shortlist with a one-line reason for each placement, so the order is explainable.

4

You interview, not screen

Start from the shortlist and re-run it whenever new applications come in.

Common questions

Is this a CV screening tool or a full ATS?

It's a focused CV ranking automation, not an applicant tracking system. It does the reading and scoring; you keep whatever ATS or inbox you already use, and it can read CVs straight from there.

Does it just keyword-match resumes?

No. It reads for meaning against your criteria, so a strong candidate who phrases their experience differently still ranks well. You can still require hard must-haves.

Is automated CV ranking fair?

Applying the same criteria to every CV reduces the fatigue and order effects of manual screening. You define the criteria, see a reason for each ranking, and make the final call.
