CV Scoring Agent: resume scoring
An agent that analyzes, scores, and ranks resumes against the job requirements, with per-candidate rationale and signals of AI-generated resumes.
Operational view
What the agent does
The CV Scoring Agent reads every application and scores the resume against the job's actual requirements: experience, skills, seniority, and context. The output is a justified ranking, not a black box, showing why each candidate sits where they do.
In a world where resumes are AI-generated in seconds, the agent treats the CV as what it has become: a hypothesis to verify. Scoring prioritizes who moves on to the stages that measure real ability, and flags patterns typical of fabricated resumes.
Application
When to use
High-volume roles
When a cashier or customer service opening gets hundreds or thousands of applications and manual screening takes weeks, or simply never happens.
Fast candidate response
When the company loses good candidates to slow processes and needs to rank and respond in hours, not weeks.
Consistent criteria
When manual screening varies by recruiter and the company wants the same criteria applied to every application.
Step by step
How it works
Applications enter the funnel
The agent processes resumes that come in through the Workdex job link, careers page, job boards, WhatsApp, or spreadsheet upload.
Scoring against the job
Each resume is evaluated against the requirements defined in the job design, weighted by competency and seniority.
Justified ranking
The agent delivers the ranking with the rationale behind each score: strengths, gaps, and flags, including signs of an AI-generated CV.
Recruiter calibrates and advances
The recruiter adjusts weights, reviews edge cases, and decides who moves on to assessments and interviews.
