Employer feature · Elite plan
Every application read, rated and ranked — before you open one.
The AI Hiring Assistant reads each application against your job post, gives it a fit score out of 100 with the three biggest reasons and any flags, and ranks the list — so a post with sixty applicants becomes a shortlist of six. It never rejects, emails or hires anyone. You do.
No commissions, no lock-in. Compare plans
- A fit score with reasons on every application

From pile to shortlist in three steps
Post the job with the must-haves
Salary, hours, tools, years of experience, the work itself. The assistant scores against what you wrote — the clearer the post, the sharper the ranking. Mark the real must-haves as must-haves and keep the nice-to-haves separate.

Applications are scored as they arrive
Each one gets a fit score out of 100, the three biggest reasons for it, and any flags — asking above your range, hours that don’t overlap, a must-have missing. Scores are recalculated if you edit the post.
No black box: every score comes with its reasons.

Interview the top of the list
Open the ranked list, read the reasons, and start with the candidates that fit. For each one the assistant drafts interview questions based on what’s missing or worth probing — the gap in the resume, the tool they haven’t used, the hours that only half overlap.
You make every decision. It never rejects, emails or hires.
Suggested questions · Priya Nair1. You haven’t used Xero — which accounting tools have you worked in, and how long did they take to learn?
2. Walk me through a difficult customer call you handled by phone.
3. Your hours overlap AEST until 2 pm — how would you handle a 4 pm escalation?
How the fit score is built
The score is a weighted match between the application and your post. Must-haves carry the most weight — miss one and the score drops hard, and the miss is shown as a flag. Nice-to-haves add points without punishing their absence. Salary and hours are checked against your range and your time zone, and experience is read from the resume rather than the headline.
Nothing in the score is a judgement about the person. It is a judgement about the match — and the same candidate will score differently against two different posts.
Weights shown are illustrative; must-haves always dominate.
What it reads, and what it ignores
It reads
Everything the worker put in front of you.
- The resume and cover note
- Profile fields — skills, experience, salary ask, availability
- Screening results — ID check, EF SET level, speed test
- Verified references and their relevance
- Your post’s requirements — the only yardstick
It never uses
The things you can’t hire on either.
- Age or date of birth
- Gender
- The profile photo
- Religion
- Family or marital status
Discrimination law in the EU, UK, US, Australia and New Zealand rules these out of a hiring decision. The assistant is built the same way, and every score shows its reasons so you can check.
What it will not do
It ranks. You decide. That line does not move.
- Reject an applicant — every application stays in your list.
- Send a message to anyone on your behalf.
- Make an offer, set pay or hire.
- Score on anything outside your post’s requirements.
- Hide its reasoning — every score explains itself.
- Run on jobs where you’ve turned it off.
AI Hiring Assistant questions
What does the fit score measure?
How well the application matches the requirements in your job post — must-haves first, then nice-to-haves, salary, hours and experience. It is a score out of 100, and each one comes with its top three reasons and any flags, so you can see why a candidate sits where they do.
Does it reject anyone automatically?
No. Every application stays in your list. The assistant ranks and explains; rejecting, messaging and hiring are yours. Nobody is contacted or turned down without you doing it.
What does it read?
Everything the worker has put in front of you: the resume, the cover note, the profile fields, screening results and references. It scores that material against the requirements in your job post — nothing outside it.
Is it fair to candidates?
It scores only on the criteria in your post and never on age, gender, photo, religion or family status — the things discrimination law in the EU, UK, US, Australia and New Zealand says you can’t hire on either. Every score shows its reasons, so nothing is hidden from you or from a candidate who asks.
What if my job post is vague?
The scores will be vague too. The assistant is only as sharp as the requirements you wrote. Say which skills are must-haves, give a salary range and state the hours, and the ranking gets much more useful. You can edit the post at any time and the scores update.
Can I turn it off?
Yes — per job or for your whole account. Applications then arrive in the order they were sent, as they do on the Free and Optimised plans.
What do I need to get started?
An Elite plan and a job post with clear requirements. Write the must-haves as must-haves and the assistant does the rest; there is nothing to install or configure.
Let the assistant read the pile.
Post a free job, then go Elite and open a ranked shortlist instead of sixty unread applications.
