CVshelf — HR & Recruiting

What is CVshelf?

CVshelf is an AI-powered resume screening tool that helps recruiters stop reading CVs one by one. Upload a stack of CVs in PDF, DOC, or DOCX format, and get a ranked shortlist with reasoning behind every score in minutes—not days. It processes CVs in bulk, supports LinkedIn one-click screening, and automates outreach emails, saving up to 87% of screening time.

Who is it for?

CVshelf is built for recruiters and hiring managers who deal with high volumes of applications and need to shortlist candidates efficiently. It’s ideal for companies hiring across multiple roles, agencies managing clients, and teams that want to reduce bias in screening. If you’re a small business with low hiring volume, the free plan with 50 credits per month may be enough, but heavier users will need a paid plan.

Key use cases

Use CVshelf to screen hundreds of CVs in one go, pull LinkedIn applicants automatically for active jobs, generate job descriptions from a URL, and send automated follow-up emails to shortlisted candidates. It also integrates with job boards like BDJOBS, allowing you to import candidates without manual uploads.

• Bulk CV Screening — Upload hundreds of CVs at once; no waiting for results.
• Ranking Explanations — See exactly why each candidate scored the way they did—no black box.
• Custom Criteria — Set your own weighting for skills and experience that matter most.
• LinkedIn One-Click Screening — Connect your LinkedIn account and screen applicants automatically for each job.
• Automated Outreach — Select your shortlist and let CVShelf handle follow-up emails.
• Detailed Reports — Download clean, shareable reports with candidate scores and rankings.
• Background Processing — Upload and walk away; screening finishes while you do other tasks.
