Automated CV Filter
Drop a keyword filter stage into any pipeline. Clever1000 scores each CV against your terms and applies your pass, reject, or review rules automatically.
The automated CV filter stage parses applicant documents, measures keyword coverage against your list, and shows match percentages on every card. Configure a threshold and whether weak matches are rejected, flagged for review, or advanced automatically.

- Employers reducing time-to-shortlist on technical or licensed roles
How automated CV screening works
Automated CV screening compares each applicant’s resume text against a list of keywords or skills you define for the role. Clever1000 calculates a match percentage, highlights matched and missed terms, and can automatically pass, reject, or flag candidates based on your threshold.
This is especially useful when hundreds of applicants apply to a single posting. Recruiters still review borderline cases, but obvious mismatches never clog the interview calendar. Match scores appear on kanban cards and in the Automated CV Filter stage hub across all pipelines.
Setting keyword thresholds and auto-actions
A common setup is 70% minimum match to auto-advance strong fits, with manual review for scores between 40% and 70%, and auto-reject below 40%, but Clever1000 lets you choose the policy per stage. Use role-specific terms: frameworks, certifications, tools, and regulatory keywords rather than generic words like “communication”.
Pair the filter with an Application Review stage so recruiters validate edge cases and add star ratings before interviews. The filter handles volume; humans handle judgment.
When to use automated CV filter vs manual review only
Use automated filtering when you have clear binary requirements and predictable CV formats. Rely more on manual review for executive hires, creative portfolios, or roles where context matters more than keyword density.
Clever1000 supports both in one pipeline: filter first, then structured human scoring with skill criteria, so your ATS stays flexible as hiring needs change.
