How does 1Recruit.ai match candidates to roles?

1Recruit.ai reads the job specification, analyses each CV, and uses semantic search, skills matching, and filters to score and rank each candidate. Recruiters see a clear shortlist instead of reading every CV manually.

Can AI matching replace a recruiter?

No. AI matching speeds up admin and gives recruiters a strong starting point, but humans still make the final decision, speak to candidates, check culture fit, and advise clients.

Who should use AI automated candidate matching?

AI automated candidate matching is ideal for recruitment agencies and internal hiring teams that handle many roles or many CVs and want to cut down on manual screening while still improving quality of hire.

AI Automated Candidate Matching

Q: What is AI automated candidate matching?

AI automated candidate matching uses artificial intelligence to scan CVs, understand skills and experience, and compare them to a job specification so recruiters can see a ranked list of best-fit candidates in seconds.

Turn piles of CVs into a clear, ranked shortlist in minutes.

Stop reading every CV from top to bottom. Let AI help you focus on the people who are most likely to be a fit for the role.

Let AI do the heavy screening for you

Recruiters lose hours every week scanning CVs, searching for the right skills, and trying to remember which candidates could work for which roles. It is slow, manual, and easy to miss someone great.

With 1Recruit.ai automated candidate matching, you enter the role, import or upload CVs, and in seconds you see a ranked shortlist. The system understands job titles, skills, tools, industries, and seniority, instead of just matching keywords.

You keep control of the decision. The AI simply takes care of the admin: sorting, scoring, and surfacing the people you should talk to first.

How AI Candidate Matching Works in 3 Simple Steps

From job spec to ranked shortlist in a few clicks.

1. Add your role

Create a new role or generate a job spec with our AI tools. Include the must-have skills, nice-to-haves, experience level, and location or remote rules. The more detail you add, the sharper the match.

2. Upload or import CVs

Upload CVs directly, import candidates from your existing database, or use the unique job link in your adverts so new applicants flow into the system automatically.

3. Get a ranked shortlist

The AI analyses the role and every CV, then gives each candidate a score and rank. Use filters and search to refine the list, then move straight to outreach and interviews.

Why Recruiters Use AI Automated Candidate Matching

1Recruit.ai reads the skills, tools, and experience in each CV and compares them to the job spec. It looks at recency, level, and context, not only whether a word appears or not.

Core and secondary skills for the role.
Relevant industries and sectors.
Years of experience and seniority.

Location and work setup

You can include location rules, time zones, and remote or hybrid preferences in the role. The AI then factors this into the candidate score so you avoid poor-location matches.
