AI CV Screening Software
Screen the pile. Give the right candidates a better interview.
Published 2026-08-19 · Reviewed 2026-08-19
When a role attracts dozens or hundreds of applicants, someone has to read every CV. Kippler reads them all, scores each candidate against the role, and gives you a ranked longlist so you can spend your time on the ones worth interviewing. HR, internal talent and recruitment teams can create the role, screen CVs in bulk, promote promising candidates to full assessments and prepare the interviewer with evidence — not just a rank. Hiring managers do not see the raw screening workspace; they see assigned roles and promoted candidates.
The problem with manual CV screening
Reading 80 CVs for a single role takes hours. By the thirtieth CV, attention drifts. Strong candidates buried near the bottom get skimmed. Inconsistent criteria mean two screeners reach different conclusions about the same person. And the pressure to move quickly means good candidates get overlooked while weak ones get through to interview.

Kippler uses AI-assisted CV analysis to read every CV against the job you are hiring for. Each candidate gets a fit score out of 10, a three-sentence verdict and any red flags — all in minutes. You get a ranked longlist you can act on immediately.

Frequently asked questions
Does Kippler screen CVs without a job description?
You can analyse a single CV without a job description, but bulk screening works best when you provide one. The job description gives Kippler the context to score each candidate against the specific role you are hiring for.
What file formats does Kippler accept?
PDF, DOCX and plain text files are all supported for bulk upload.
What happens if a file fails to process?
Failed files are never charged. You only pay for CVs that Kippler successfully screens.
Can I compare screened candidates side by side?
Yes. Candidates you upgrade to a full assessment are saved to your candidate database, where you can compare them and share a shortlist with colleagues.
