AI CV screening that ranks against the role
Screenswize is privacy-first, explainable AI CV screening for recruiters. Upload a batch of CVs against a vacancy, get ranked results with evidence, and decide who to interview — without pasting résumés into ChatGPT.
What AI CV screening actually means
AI CV screening uses language models to compare candidate experience, skills and qualifications to the requirements you define for a role. Done well, it produces a shortlist with reasons — not a black-box score. Done poorly, it becomes a ChatGPT paste that leaks personal data and invents confidence.
Screenswize is built for the first path. You describe the vacancy, upload PDF or DOCX CVs, and receive ranked candidates with matched requirements, gaps, and CV evidence you can inspect. That is decision support for recruiters, not an automated hiring machine.
How Screenswize screens a batch
Role first
Define must-haves, nice-to-haves and experience so every CV is judged against the same brief.
Clean, then analyse
Detectable identifiers are removed. Only cleaned, job-relevant text is analysed — original files are never sent to OpenAI.
Evidence you can check
Scores link back to evidence. Export a PDF when you need to share a shortlist with hiring managers.
What Screenswize is not
Screenswize is not an ATS. It does not replace your applicant tracking system, calendar, or offer workflow. It does not auto-hire or auto-reject anyone. Recruiters remain responsible for every hiring decision — Screenswize ranks and explains so you can move faster with more consistency.
It is also not a general chatbot. You do not paste candidate data into a consumer AI product. Screening happens inside your Screenswize account with credit controls, vacancy context, and a privacy path designed for POPIA-aware South African recruiting teams.

Who it is for
Agency recruiters, in-house talent teams, and hiring leads who receive large application volumes and need a fairer first pass. If you are screening tens or hundreds of CVs per role, Screenswize helps you produce an evidence-led shortlist in minutes instead of hours.
