Frequently asked questions
What does the agent do, and which systems does it connect with?
It extracts skills, experience and education from CVs submitted through your ATS, email or job boards, and produces a match score with a short-list per vacancy. It connects with ATS platforms such as Recruitee, Homerun and Bullhorn, and with job boards including LinkedIn and Indeed.
What does this agent cost, and how long does implementation take?
Standard agents like this one start from €2,500, with custom matching logic from €5,000 depending on your vacancy volume and criteria. For this agent, implementation is usually live within 2 weeks; a free AI scan is a good starting point to get a tailored estimate.
Don't we miss good candidates who phrase things differently?
The agent looks at synonyms and related skills, for example matching "JavaScript" with "JS" or "project management" with "project leadership." It screens on competencies rather than exact word matches, but a recruiter always does the final review.
Can the agent also analyze cover letters and portfolios?
Yes, cover letters are scanned for relevant experience and enthusiasm, and portfolios such as PDFs or links can be added to the candidate profile. For creative roles this can weigh heavily in the score.
How objective is the matching and how do we avoid bias?
The agent matches purely on job requirements, such as skills and years of experience, without demographic data like name, age, gender or photo. This reduces unconscious bias, and we actively monitor whether certain groups are disadvantaged.
Can we adjust matching criteria per vacancy?
Yes, you specify per vacancy which skills are must-have and which are nice-to-have, and you can weight some criteria, such as experience, more heavily than others, like education. The agent adjusts its score calculation accordingly.
What happens to CVs after screening?
Successful candidates are kept for future vacancies with permission, and rejected candidates are deleted after a short retention period per GDPR. Candidates can always request deletion of their data.
