One credit screens one CV: the model reads it, a deterministic engine scores it against the role's rubric, and every score quotes the CV line it came from. Each plan includes a number of credits a month, shared by the whole team.

CV SCREENING · A BRAIVEX PRODUCT

Every score quotes its CV.

Q: How does scoring work?

The model reads each CV and writes down facts: a factor from 0 to 1 for every criterion, with the CV line that supports it. Python turns those facts into points. The model never sees or produces a score, which is why the same CV and rubric give the same number on every run.

Q: What does the AI do, and what does it not do?

It extracts dated stints, duty levels and evidence quotes. It does not score, rank or reject anyone. A candidate who fails a hard requirement keeps their full score and stays on the list for a person to decide.

Q: Does it detect AI-written CVs?

No, on purpose. Liang and colleagues at Stanford found in 2023 that GPT detectors consistently misclassify non-native English writing as AI-generated while identifying native writing accurately (arXiv:2304.02819). A tool that used such a detector would be discriminating on a proxy for nationality. HireSieve also does not score grammar, job-title plausibility, names, schools, photos, CV length or career gaps.

Q: Where does candidate data live?

In the workspace's data folder. Retention is twelve months, after which one command sweeps records, CV files, the registry and the event log. The sweep is a dry run until you tell it to delete.

Q: Do I need my own AI key?

No. Screening runs on Claude Opus 5.5 through Braivex's own Anthropic account, and each CV screened uses one credit from your organisation's balance. There is no key to find, paste or pay for separately.

Q: What happens when credits run out?

Screening pauses; nothing is billed by surprise and nothing already screened is touched. A batch bigger than the balance does not start. Credits come back when the plan renews, or straight away with a top-up pack (100 credits for $25, valid 12 months). Monthly credits do not roll over.

Q: Is there a free trial?

Yes. No card needed: a new organisation gets 20 free credits for 14 days. One trial per organisation, email and device.

Q: Can I cancel or get a refund?

Cancel any time from the Billing page; the plan runs to the end of the period you paid for, and you keep your data. A payment can be refunded within 14 days of purchase, once per customer, after a review by our team.

Q: Which currency, and what about VAT?

Prices are in US dollars everywhere, shown in your own number format. VAT or sales tax, where it applies, is added at checkout by our payment partner Dodo Payments, who acts as merchant of record. Annual plans cost ten months' price for twelve months: two months free.

Drop a folder of CVs on it and HireSieve screens them against a rubric written from your own job advert. Each number on the shortlist points at the line of the CV that earned it, and the same files give the same scores every time you run them. When a candidate asks, twelve months on, why they were not shortlisted, you can show them.

Set up in three steps

The software prepares a shortlist. Someone on your team reads it and decides.

01 · SIGN UP

Five screenings free

Create your organisation and screen five CVs at no cost. Claude Opus 5.5 is included, so there is no AI key to find or pay for.

02 · SCREEN

Drop CVs in a folder

Put the files in the role's folder and press Scan folders. Before anything is sent to the model, a preview lists how many CVs it found, which folder they are in and which rubric will score them.

03 · READ

Open the shortlist

Candidates arrive ranked, with a quote from the CV under every criterion. A candidate who misses a hard requirement is marked not eligible and keeps their full score, so a person can still read the case.

What one row looks like

A fictional candidate against a fictional rubric. Point at any criterion to see where its points came from.

DEMONSTRATION · FICTIONAL DATA

Ada ExampleRetail assistant · fictional

82.4

Weights 30 + 20 + 30 + 20 = 100. The engine refuses a rubric that sums to anything else. Points 82.4. Each one traces to a line above.

Change one weight and the others give way

Drag any slider. The other weights adjust, every score is restated and the total stays at 100, because the engine refuses to load a rubric whose weights add up to anything else.

Till experience · factor 0.90 30 × 0.90 = 27.0

Evening availability · factor 1.00 20 × 1.00 = 20.0

Customer service · factor 0.78 30 × 0.78 = 23.4

Stock handling · factor 0.60 20 × 0.60 = 12.0

Weights 100. Always, or the rubric will not load. Score 82.4 · fictional candidate, fictional rubric

The safeguards are in the code, with tests behind them

Most of the six below are behaviours the test suite checks on every change.

NO AUTO-REJECTS

Humans decide, always

A candidate who fails a hard requirement is labelled not eligible. Their score, their evidence and their record stay on the shortlist for a person to read.

EVIDENCE TRAIL

Every number has a quote

For each criterion the model supplies a factor between 0 and 1 and the CV line that justifies it. One Python engine turns those into points, so the same CV and rubric give the same score, byte for byte, on every run.

NOT MEASURED

What it refuses to look at

No detector for AI-written text, no grammar score, no judgement on job titles, no inference from a name or a school, no social-media lookups, no weight given to a photo or to the length of the CV. Career gaps and part-time work are flagged for a person to ask about and never scored.

ACCESS CONTROL

Roles, invites, a visible ledger

Four roles: owner, admin, member and viewer. New users join by invitation, up to your plan's seats. Every credit your organisation receives or spends is listed on its billing page, and each organisation's candidates stay in its own workspace. Sign-in is provided by Braivex Accounts using Shopify customer accounts, which process your sign-in email address and the one-time code sent to it.

RETENTION

12 months, then swept

Records, CV files, the registry and the event log are covered by one retention sweep, twelve months after screening. It runs as a dry run first and deletes only when you tell it to. Demo data is fiction and removes itself the first time real data arrives.

YOUR PAPERWORK

The paperwork, as drafts

A DPIA, a legitimate interests assessment, a record of processing and the candidate-facing Article 13 notice ship with the product. They are drafts with [CONFIRM] markers where only you can supply the fact, and a director signs before anything is published.

What it refuses to measure

Using any of these would put you on the wrong side of the Equality Act, so the engine will not load a rubric that asks for them.

Why no AI detector: Liang and colleagues at Stanford found in 2023 that GPT detectors misclassify non-native English writing as AI-generated (arXiv:2304.02819).

Works with every job board, because it starts from the file

LinkedIn, Indeed, Reed, Totaljobs, CV-Library, Monster, ZipRecruiter, Glassdoor, Guardian Jobs and Jobsite all let you download or email the applications you receive. HireSieve screens the file, so there is no API to connect, no password to hand over and no scraper.

01 · EXPORT

Download the CVs

Download the applications from the board and drop them into the role folder. PDF and Word files are accepted, and photographed CVs are read too when the OCR tool is installed.

02 · FORWARD

Or forward the emails

Set a mail rule that saves application emails into the inbox folder. HireSieve lists what arrived, guesses the role from the subject line, and waits for someone to confirm before anything is filed or screened.

03 · AUTOMATE

From folder to shortlist

Batches, evidence, pipeline stages and retention are handled for you. A person approves each rubric before it scores anyone, and makes every hire.
