Upload a job description and a stack of CVs. SwiftShortlist reads every PDF, scores each candidate against your requirements, and delivers a ranked shortlist in under 2 minutes.
No setup. No integrations. No learning curve. Just paste, upload, and get your ranked list.
Enter the job title and paste your requirements. The more detail you give, the sharper the AI scoring becomes.
Drag and drop PDFs from any source, 1 or 100. We parse, extract, and process them all in parallel automatically.
Every candidate gets a score, extracted skills, strengths, gaps, and AI reasoning. Results ready in under 2 minutes.
Most tools keyword-match. SwiftShortlist uses Gemini to read every CV end-to-end, understanding context, career trajectories, and implied skills.
Reads narrative, infers transferable skills, and understands career progression. Not just keyword presence.
Every candidate is scored against the exact job description you provide, not a generic rubric.
Get recruiter-ready notes for each candidate: highlights, red flags, and suggested interview questions.
No more processing candidates one by one. SwiftShortlist handles entire applicant pools in parallel, saving hours every hiring round.
Drop your entire applicant folder at once. Any PDF format, any layout. We handle parsing automatically.
All CVs analysed simultaneously, not sequentially. 100 candidates takes the same time as 10.
Results delivered as a clean ranked list, sorted by fit score, with skills and notes for each candidate.
No sign-up needed for your first 2 CVs. Paste a job description, upload a PDF, and see instant AI scoring.
“I used to spend half a day just reading CVs before shortlisting. SwiftShortlist cut that down to 10 minutes. The accuracy is genuinely impressive. It surfaces things I would have missed.”
“We hired our last three engineers using SwiftShortlist. The AI reasoning for each candidate is the killer feature. It's not just a score, it's a brief that I can actually act on.”
“As a solo founder doing all the hiring myself, this tool is a lifesaver. I uploaded 60 CVs, went for lunch, and came back to a clear shortlist. The top 5 were exactly who I would have picked.”
From upload to shortlist in under 5 minutes. No setup, no integrations, no credit card.
SwiftShortlist is an AI CV screening tool for recruiters and hiring teams. You create a job, upload candidate CVs in bulk, and AI scores and ranks every applicant against your job requirements — turning a pile of PDFs into a ranked shortlist in minutes.
You paste a job description and upload candidate CVs as PDFs. SwiftShortlist reads each CV against the requirements and returns a weighted 0–100 score with a breakdown across skills match, experience relevance, seniority, and education, plus a short reasoning summary and the candidate’s strengths and gaps.
You can upload up to 100 CVs in a single batch and they are analysed automatically in the background, so a typical shortlist is ready in a few minutes. The free plan covers up to 50 CVs per job; Pro removes the limit.
Yes — the free plan includes up to 3 jobs, 50 CVs per job, and 2 AI-generated job descriptions per month, with no credit card required. Pro is £29/month and unlocks unlimited jobs and CVs, up to 5 team members, role-based permissions, and CSV export.
No. SwiftShortlist is standalone — there is no setup or integration required. Create a job, upload CVs, and start ranking. You can export results to CSV or share a public application link to collect CVs directly.
CVs are uploaded as PDF files (up to 10 MB each). Duplicate CVs are detected automatically so the same candidate is never scored twice for one job.
No. SwiftShortlist ranks candidates and explains its reasoning so you can review the strongest matches first, but the final hiring decision is always yours. The score is a starting point, not a verdict.
