AI-Assisted CV Screening for IT Recruitment Agencies
Turn 1 active JD and up to 25 CVs into a recruiter-reviewed shortlist within 24–48 hours.
Shortlist Sprint is a managed AI-assisted CV screening service for IT recruitment and staffing agencies. Outputs are human-reviewed before delivery so recruiters stay in control of screening and client submission.
You send: 1 active JD + up to 25 CVs
You receive: ranked shortlist + candidate insights
The screening bottleneck
Faster CV Screening for Recruitment Agencies
Recruiters should spend more time speaking to candidates—not comparing CVs line by line during shortlist preparation.
Inconsistent evaluation
Without a shared review format, the same candidate can be assessed differently.
Slow client submission
Long candidate screening cycles delay strong profiles from reaching clients.
What You Receive
A complete shortlist package—not just a score. Every pilot includes ranked candidates plus the context recruiters need for screening and client submission.
Ranked shortlist
Candidates ordered by screening priority and role fit.
Match score
A role-specific score that supports recruiter review.
Fit reasoning
A clear explanation of why the candidate may or may not fit.
Missing skills
Must-have and good-to-have gaps highlighted.
Potential red flags
Concerns such as unclear experience, frequent job changes, or requirement mismatches.
Screening questions
Role-specific questions for the recruiter’s first conversation.
Client-ready summary
A concise overview for internal review and client submission.
Final recommendation
Strong shortlist, consider after screening, backup, or not recommended.

| Priya M. | Senior Java Developer | 6 | Bengaluru | 5/5 | 3/4 | 88/100 | Strong Java/Spring background with recent microservices delivery and client-facing ownership. | Limited Kafka exposure | None noted | Confirm production ownership of last microservices project; probe Kafka readiness. | 6-year Java developer with Spring Boot and REST delivery; ready for client conversation on full-stack Java roles. | Strong shortlist |
| Arjun V. | Full Stack Engineer | 5 | Hyderabad | 4/5 | 2/4 | 72/100 | Solid React and Java mix; backend depth needs a short screening call to confirm. | System design depth unclear | Two short tenures in last 3 years | Ask for largest backend module owned; clarify reasons for recent job moves. | 5-year full-stack engineer with React + Java experience; suitable after verifying backend ownership. | Consider after screening |
| Neha R. | Software Engineer | 4 | Pune | 3/5 | 2/4 | 58/100 | Useful Java foundation but thinner overlap with the required enterprise stack. | Spring Boot, cloud deploy | Gap between stated and demonstrated stack | Validate hands-on Spring Boot projects; ask about cloud deployment experience. | 4-year engineer with core Java strength; better as backup if the primary shortlist is thin. | Backup |
