Why “just use ChatGPT” falls short for CV screening
Consumer chat products are excellent for drafting and brainstorming. They are a weak fit when candidate personal information, consistent scoring, and hiring-manager scrutiny are involved. Prompts drift between teammates. Outputs are hard to file against a vacancy. Pasting full CVs can put identifiers into a general AI product that was not designed as your recruiting system of record.
Screenswize keeps the useful part of AI — language understanding against a job brief — inside a recruiter product. Identifying details are removed before analysis. Only cleaned, job-relevant text is sent for screening. Original PDF or DOCX files stay out of the OpenAI path. See our privacy commitments for the full story.
Explainability beats a clever paragraph
Hiring managers rarely want a witty chatbot summary. They want to know whether the candidate meets the must-haves, where experience is thin, and what evidence supports the score. Screenswize is built for that conversation. It is AI CV screening with evidence, not a black-box reject button.
POPIA-aware process for South Africa
South African recruiting teams need to think carefully about personal information. Screenswize is designed to support POPIA-aware handling: minimise retention of original CVs, clean identifiers before AI analysis, and keep humans responsible for decisions. Chat paste workflows make those controls harder to prove. Built for recruiters who need speed and accountability together.
Pricing that maps to screens, not chat tokens
Start with 10 free CV screens. Then R399.99/month for 100 screens, with top-ups of R249.99/50 and R49.99/10. That is recruiting volume pricing — see Screenswize pricing — not an opaque consumer AI subscription shared across the company.
