Manual CV screening is a laborious task. Using AI means that CVs do not have to be completely uniform and that screening can be carried out in a rapid and objective manner, improving both efficiency and effectiveness. Commercial tools for this process are well-established in the marketplace.
AI-powered tools can analyse both CVs and job descriptions, to ensure objective matches between candidates and positions. Vendors of such tools claim the following benefits:
- Tools can quickly and accurately extract relevant information from CVs.
- They can identify key requirements and preferences from job descriptions.
- They can tailor the matching process to specific needs.
- They can automatically rank candidates based on suitability for the job.
- They can be integrated with existing HR systems and current workflows.
To get started, upload or paste the candidate’s CV into the matching tool.
Then paste the complete job description text, excluding the ‘About Company’ section while still including the job title.
The tool can rank the CV with a match percentage showing how it measures up against the job:
It will also provide all the matching and missing keywords to better optimise the CV to the role requirements, which can be used for feedback to the applicant.
