We built CeeVeeMatch because a recruiter friend lost a great hire β€” buried at CV #92.

She wasn't bad at her job. The inbox was the bottleneck. So we built the thing that would have caught the candidate.

What other recruiters told us

β€œBy CV #30 I'm scrolling on autopilot. By #50 I'm looking for reasons to reject.”

β€” Recruiter at a 250-person eng org

β€œThe candidate I'm most excited about is usually #67. I find them by accident. That's a broken process.”

β€” Hiring Manager, fintech

β€œMy hiring manager asks why this top 5 β€” and I have a feeling, not a reason. That's when I knew I needed help.”

β€” Talent Acquisition Lead, SaaS
This is the whole product

A ranked shortlist with reasoning. That's it. That's the thing.

The flow

Three steps. Linear. No surprises.

1
~ 45 seconds

Tell us about the role

Paste the JD, drop a file, or fill the guided form. We parse it for the must-have skills, the years-of-experience signal, the "nice to haves" β€” and what's just there because every template includes it.

2
~ 30 seconds

Drop in your resumes

PDFs, Word, the .docx the applicant exported by accident, the .pdf with embedded fonts that breaks Microsoft Word β€” we handle all of it. Up to 100 at a time, all parsed in parallel.

Pick from the top of the list

A ranked list lands. Every score reasoned. Every match traced. The candidate buried at #87 gets her fair shot. Send the interviews. Done.

Under the hood

Six things we obsess over, so you don't have to.

Reads JDs like a senior recruiter who's been at it for ten years.

Figures out what's a hard requirement, what's a β€œnice to have,” and what's there because the JD template had a checkbox β€” even when the description is half boilerplate and half wishlist.

Coffee-break fast.

A batch of 100 β€” under 5 minutes (P95). Most users tab out and come back surprised.

Knows the synonyms.

React.js, ReactJS, React 18 β€” all the same. No false negatives because someone got cute with abbreviations.

Bulk drop. No babysitting.

100 resumes in one drag. Close the tab. Come back when it's ready. We hold your place.

Compliance from minute one.

Encrypted, isolated, auto-deleted on schedule. GDPR, CCPA & PDPA ready β€” your legal team approves on the first call.

Shortlists you can defend in the next standup.

Every score breaks down: skills hit, skills missed, signal vs noise, reasoning in plain English. Bring it to the hiring panel β€” they'll thank you for finally explaining the AI.

Behind every score

Every score traces back to the line of CV it came from.

No black box. No β€œtrust the AI.” Click a matched skill β€” see the exact sentence. Click a gap β€” see the question to ask in interview.

FAQ

What people ask before they sign up.

Does it work on resumes in non-English languages?

English is first-class at launch. CVs with English skills sections still score correctly even when other parts are written in another language. Full multilingual support is on our roadmap based on customer demand β€” let us know which language you'd want next.

How is this different from an ATS like Workable or Greenhouse?

An ATS runs your whole pipeline β€” sourcing, scheduling, offers β€” and costs $200–800/seat/month. CeeVeeMatch does one job: turn a stack of CVs into a defensible shortlist. Most of our customers use both. Some use us instead, because their ATS quote was 40Γ— our price.

Can I change how much weight skills get vs experience?

Yes. Every JD has weighting sliders for Skills, Experience, Education, and Custom criteria. Drag them, watch the ranking re-sort in real time. Hiring a junior where attitude matters more than years? Push Skills down, Custom up.

Does it work for non-tech roles β€” sales, finance, design, ops?

Yes. Optimized for any role with a recognizable skill vocabulary β€” marketing, sales, finance, design, ops, customer success, even chefs and physiotherapists. The matching engine doesn't care if the skill is "React" or "B2B negotiation."

What happens to candidate data if I cancel?

Day you cancel: 30-day grace period β€” CVs and JDs stay accessible if you change your mind. Day 31: permanent deletion. You get an email receipt confirming the deletion in case your legal team asks.

Can my hiring manager view the report without an account?

Yes. Every shortlist has a "share read-only link" option β€” your hiring manager opens it in a browser, sees the ranking and reasoning, no signup required. Links expire after 7 days by default and can be revoked anytime.
