AI CV screening should produce review priorities and reasons, not automatic acceptance or rejection decisions.
What should the system review?
Not only job titles and keywords. The system should consider duration, depth of experience, industry context, transferable skills, and evidence of achievement.
Output that helps recruiters
- Fit summary against must-have requirements.
- CV evidence supporting each conclusion.
- Gaps or information that is not available.
- Questions to focus on at the next stage.
Common mistakes
Treating ranking as objective truth, using an unclear job description, or allowing a score to replace recruiter discussion. A good ranking is a more informed review queue.
How to test it
Use one previously reviewed CV batch. Compare system priorities with recruiter judgment, then assess whether the reasons and gaps are useful—not merely whether the order is identical.
