Common questions

What file formats are supported?
PDF only, up to 10 MB per file. Most CVs and resumes are already PDFs - if not, your applicants can convert using any free online tool.
How accurate is the AI scoring?
The AI scores based on explicit matches between the CV and your job description. The more detail you provide in the job requirements, the more precise the ranking.
Does it store CVs?
Yes. CVs are stored securely in encrypted cloud storage (Supabase) so you can re-review candidates at any time. You can delete candidates and their files at any time.
How long does analysis take?
Typically under 2 minutes for a batch of 50 CVs. Results appear as each candidate finishes - you can start reviewing top candidates while the rest are still processing.
What is the free plan limit?
The free plan supports up to 3 job postings and up to 50 CVs per job. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited jobs and unlimited CVs.
