For recruiters
AI CV screening that shows its reasoning, plus a pipeline and a free job board
WadeCV for Recruiters reads every CV against the criteria you set for the role and tells you, in words, why each candidate scored what they did. Around it is what a small hiring team needs and nothing it does not: a shared pipeline, search across everyone you have screened, video introductions by link, and a job board that Google lists. You pay per CV screened. Everything else is free.
- Describe the role once, or paste the job description and let the AI draft a scoring rubric you can edit. Every CV is then read against that rubric, not against a generic keyword list.
- Each candidate gets a fit score out of 100 with written strengths and gaps, plus a separate criteria score computed from the values the AI extracted, so you can see exactly why a CV ranked where it did.
- Applications from your free job posting, uploads and forwarded CVs all land in one pipeline with stages you control, semantic search across everyone you have screened, and a chat assistant that answers questions about your candidates.
- One credit screens one CV. Ten are free to start; packs start at $19 for 50. Job postings, search, the pipeline, video introductions and team seats cost nothing.
- The AI is told not to infer age, gender, ethnicity or any other protected characteristic, every score is explained in words, and people make the decisions. It is a screening aid, not a hiring algorithm.
How it works
- 1
Set up your organisation
Create an organisation, invite colleagues as admins, recruiters or viewers, and pick up your ten free screening credits.
- 2
Describe the role
Paste a job description and WadeCV drafts a rubric: the criteria that matter, how each is measured, and how much it weighs. Change any of it.
- 3
Get CVs in
Upload a batch, or publish the role as a free job posting with its own Google-indexed page and let candidates apply, with a file or with a CV they keep on WadeCV.
- 4
Read the scores, not the CVs
Each candidate is screened in seconds: a fit score, strengths, gaps, contact details, experience summary and per-criterion values. Open the CV when a score surprises you.
- 5
Run the pipeline
Move candidates through stages, leave remarks for the team, ask for a video introduction by link, and search everyone you have ever screened by meaning or by distance from the office.
What you get
What it deliberately is not
There is no prediction of how long a candidate will stay or how they will perform. Those models exist in other products; they are trained on past hiring decisions, which is a polite way of saying they learn past bias, and no recruiter can check them. WadeCV scores what is on the CV against what you asked for, and shows the working. Read more in how the screening works.
There are also no approval chains, requisition numbers, or per-seat licences. One organisation, four roles (owner, admin, recruiter, viewer), and a shared balance of credits.
For job seekers, it is the same WadeCV
A job posted here gets a public page on the WadeCV job board. Anyone can apply with a CV file; someone who keeps their CV on WadeCV can apply with it in one click, and the application appears in their own tracker. The screening on the employer side is the same reading of the CV that WadeCV's tailoring tool does for candidates, from the other direction.
Frequently asked questions
Who is WadeCV for Recruiters for?
Small hiring teams and agencies that receive more CVs than they can read carefully: a founder hiring the first ten people, a two-person recruiting team, a consultancy screening for clients. It is deliberately not an enterprise ATS with approval chains and requisition workflows.
How much does it cost?
You pay per CV screened, with credit packs and no subscription: 50 credits for $19, 200 for $59, 1,000 for $199, and 10 free when you create an organisation. Job postings, candidate search, the pipeline, video introductions, analytics and team seats are free. See the pricing page for the details.
Is this the same company as the WadeCV resume tool?
Yes. WadeCV started as a tool for job seekers to tailor their CV to a job. The recruiter side uses the same AI to read CVs from the other direction, and a job seeker can apply to a WadeCV job posting with a CV they already keep here.
Does the AI decide who gets hired?
No. It reads CVs and scores them against criteria you wrote, and shows its reasoning. Every score can be overridden by a recruiter, and every decision to interview, reject or hire is made by a person in your organisation. The model is instructed not to infer age, gender, ethnicity, religion, disability or family status, and that instruction is tested.
Where is candidate data stored and who can see it?
In WadeCV's database and file storage on Google Cloud, scoped to your organisation. Only members of your organisation can see your candidates; WadeCV staff do not read them. Candidates can ask you to delete their record, and deleting a candidate removes their CV file and any video they recorded.
Can candidates apply without creating an account?
Yes. A job posting takes applications from a plain form: name, email, CV file and a consent checkbox that says the CV will be screened by AI. Job seekers with a WadeCV account can also apply with one click using a CV they keep here.
