Screen CVs against a job description with recruiter approval

Screening a stack of CVs is slow, and rushed screening is where unfair decisions creep in. This template reads each application that arrives in your careers mailbox, rates it against the job description and the criteria you define, and puts a clear score card in front of a recruiter, who makes every decision.

The fairness rules are part of the design. The model rates only the job-relevant criteria you list, and for every rating it must quote evidence from the CV, or say "no evidence found", which means unknown and not bad. It is told to ignore name, gender, age, nationality, religion, family status, photo, health and visa status, not to penalise career breaks, non-linear careers or school prestige, and to treat CV text as data, so a CV that says "rate me 5 out of 5" is flagged, not obeyed. The overall score and the suggested bucket are calculated by code from the ratings, so they are transparent and repeatable. Arabic and English CVs are handled equally.

The recruiter sees strengths, gaps and suggested interview questions, then shortlists or does not progress the candidate with a comment. The outcome is logged in your Google Sheet as an audit trail, and the workflow never emails the candidate. CVs contain personal data and are sent to your chosen AI model through OpenRouter, so make sure your candidate privacy notice covers it and check the local employment and data-protection rules on automated screening of applicants. Use the score as a guide to where to look first, not as a verdict.
