AI CV Screening for Engineering Recruiters
— CEng, IEng and chartered-status scoring on evidence
Go beyond keyword counts. Review evidence in context.
CVSense® Evidence-Based Skill Validation (EBSV) examines the evidence presented in each CV against your job criteria. It distinguishes skills supported by projects, roles, dates or outcomes from claims that need recruiter review and requirements not found in the document.
Evidence-based scoring
Every claimed skill is cross-checked against the candidate’s own experience, projects and outcomes — not just job titles.
Reviewable skill context
Each required skill can be shown as Evidenced, Claimed or Missing, with context from the submitted CV for the recruiter to assess.
Claims that need review
CVSense highlights skills mentioned without supporting context in the submitted CV. Recruiters can then verify those claims through interviews, references or formal checks.
