AI CV Evaluation
AI CV screening that reads — not keyword-matches
Rubrily evaluates every CV against your weighted rubric the way a careful hiring manager would: scoring each criterion 0–10, citing the evidence, and flagging what's missing. At machine speed, for unlimited CVs, free.
What is AI CV screening?
AI CV screening is the evaluation of CVs by AI against defined role criteria instead of keyword filters. Rubrily reads each CV's meaning, scores every criterion 0–10 with an evidence-cited justification, surfaces strengths and red flags, and ranks candidates by the result.
Rubric vs. keyword filtering
Is it keyword matching?
No. Keyword ATSs count term matches, so candidates who phrase experience differently get filtered out and keyword-stuffed CVs get through. Rubrily evaluates meaning against your weighted criteria and writes a justification for every score — a career-changer with real skills scores well; buzzword padding doesn’t.
| Dimension | Keyword ATS filter | Rubrily rubric evaluation |
|---|---|---|
| Reads | Term frequency | Meaning, in context |
| Misses | Synonyms, phrasing, career-changers | — evaluates the substance |
| Gamed by | Keyword stuffing | Nothing to stuff — evidence is cited |
| Output | Pass/fail, unexplained | 0–10 per criterion + written justification |
| Auditable | No | Every score traceable to evidence |
What every evaluation contains
Per criterion: a 0–10 score, the tier-weighted contribution, and a written justification citing the CV. Overall: a 0–10 score with narrative justification, plus Strengths, Gaps, and Recommendations tabs, document-quality signals, and red flags worth a human look. No usable CV? The panel degrades honestly — “Cannot evaluate,” never a made-up number.
What is a scoring justification?
A justification is the written reason behind each score — what the AI found in the CV, measured against your criterion. It’s how you audit the ranking: read the justification, check it against the CV, and you know whether to trust the number. Every score has one.
Built for volume
Evaluate one CV or bulk-evaluate up to 30 at once — each upload auto-creates a candidate, scores them, and ranks them in your project. Criteria sets are reusable across roles, and every CV score feeds the blended Fit Score.
How is a CV scored?
The AI reads the CV against your weighted criteria — not a keyword list. Every criterion gets a 0–10 score with an evidence-cited justification, rolled up through your weight tiers into an overall CV score, which then blends with the interview into the candidate’s Fit Score.
