CV screening software for recruitment agencies

Recruitment agency CV screening has an extra layer of complexity: the team may be working on several client roles, each with different requirements and ATS workflows. HireFlow AI gives agencies one screening layer for comparing CVs with each job description, ranking candidates, and preparing a shortlist for the next step.

10 CV screenings included. No card required.

One screening method across different client roles

An agency may screen candidates for a software role in the morning and a finance or operations role later the same day. The criteria change with every vacancy, but the agency still needs a process that is clear, repeatable, and fast enough to meet client expectations.

HireFlow keeps the job description at the centre of each screening. Recruiters can upload the applicants for a specific role, review the ranked list and written reasoning, then use their expertise to decide which profiles are ready to present to the client.

  • Screen each candidate batch against the requirements for that client role.
  • Use scores and reasons to structure internal review before submission.
  • Move shortlisted candidates through a pipeline as the search progresses.
  • Export results for client or team review without changing the client’s ATS.

Designed to sit above the client’s ATS

Agencies often cannot standardise the system every client uses. HireFlow is not another ATS to impose on a client; it is a screening layer that can connect with supported systems and export a shortlist when the agency is ready to continue the workflow.

Available integrations include Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, BambooHR, JazzHR, SmartRecruiters, Recruitee, Breezy HR, Teamtailor, Manatal, Ashby, RecruitCRM, iCIMS, and Bullhorn. JobAdder and Vincere are listed as coming soon in the product.

Keep the recruiter in control

Client-facing recruitment still needs context that a CV cannot provide. A ranking can highlight relevant experience and make the first review quicker, but the recruiter remains responsible for checking the evidence, speaking with candidates, and deciding which profiles meet the brief.

Written reasoning helps make that review more transparent. It gives the team something specific to discuss when a profile is promoted, held for review, or left out of the first shortlist.

A practical fit for agency teams

Agency teams should test the workflow across more than one type of role. Try a high-volume search and a specialist search, compare the reasoning with recruiter judgement, and check whether the available export or ATS connection matches the way your consultants work.

HireFlow includes 10 free CV screenings with no card required. Agency plans are available when the team needs more monthly capacity and multi-role screening.
