Rubrily

How to screen candidates with AI

Three steps, one afternoon of setup, then screening runs itself. Here’s the whole Rubrily flow.

How do I set up AI screening?

Define what a great hire looks like as weighted criteria, connect those criteria to an AI interview and CV evaluation, then invite candidates or publish your job post. From then on every applicant is interviewed, evaluated, and ranked automatically — you start at the shortlist instead of the pile.

The three steps

  1. Step 1

    Define what “great” means.

    Create weighted, tiered criteria (Must Have → Good to Have) once — the same rubric drives both interview and CV scoring, and it's reusable across roles.

    Fit Score

    Fit Score configuration weighting CV evaluation and interview scores into one blended ranking.

  2. Step 2

    AI screens every candidate.

    Candidates complete an async AI interview on their own time with adaptive follow-ups, and every CV is read against your rubric — each criterion scored 0–10 with written justification.

  3. Step 3

    Review the ranked shortlist.

Your first role in minutes

Create a hiring project with the guided wizard — it assembles the CV-evaluation criteria and AI-interview set in one flow. Link them, then either invite candidates directly or publish your job post with auto-invite on, so every applicant flows straight into the interview. Watch the pipeline rank itself as submissions land.

Frequently asked questions

How long does setup take?
Minutes for your first role: the guided wizard builds the project, criteria, and interview set in one flow. The honest time investment is deciding your criteria — which you should be doing for any role anyway; Rubrily just makes the decision reusable.
Do I need to change my hiring process?
No — you keep your stages, your job boards, and your decision-making. Rubrily replaces the manual filtering layer: instead of reading every CV and scheduling screens, you start from a ranked, explained shortlist and run your process from there.
Does AI make the hiring decision?
No. The AI screens and scores; your team reviews reports, adds comments and ratings, and decides. Every score carries a written justification precisely so humans can check the AI's work.
