AI CV Screening for Finance Recruiters
— SMCR-ready, regulated-experience scoring
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.

Finance Recruiters — FAQs
Can CVSense identify SMCR-relevant experience?+
Yes. EBSV scores SMCR-relevant signals in the CV — Certification Regime, Senior Manager Functions, Conduct Rule training and regulator-facing responsibilities — and surfaces the supporting evidence.
Does CVSense work for buy-side vs sell-side hiring?+
Yes. EBSV reads the employer and role context, so a candidate's hedge-fund analyst experience is scored differently from sell-side equity research.
Is CVSense suitable for FCA-supervised firms?+
CVSense is UK-hosted, UK GDPR-compliant, and your candidate data is never used to train our models. Many UK financial services firms can adopt CVSense within their data-protection and outsourcing frameworks — see our GDPR page.
Can CVSense score qualifications like ACA or CFA?+
Yes. EBSV looks for awarding body, completion year and surrounding context, distinguishing 'CFA Level 1 (in progress)' from 'CFA Charterholder, 2021'.
