Questions

Does it make the hiring decision?

No. It scores and shortlists; your recruiters review the shortlist and decide. We set it up to ignore personal details such as age, gender and photos.

Does it handle CVs in other languages?

Yes, it reads CVs in most major languages and writes its summary in the language you choose.

What does "starting from $49" include?

Setup of the Resume Screener on your accounts with its standard configuration. The final price depends on integrations, volume and customisation, and is confirmed after the free demo.

Can you customise it for our process?

Yes. Most clients ask for changes to the rules, wording or integrations. Bigger changes are quoted as custom development.

Who pays for AI and messaging usage?

Usage from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Twilio or WhatsApp is billed to your own accounts. We help you set them up and estimate monthly costs during the demo.
