Why CVShelf vs. Manual Screening

CVShelf helps recruitment agencies reduce repetitive first-pass screening work while keeping recruiters in control of shortlist decisions.

Manual Screening CVShelf
Screening workflow Manual review time varies by role and volume Bulk processing with background review
Screening tool cost Recruiter time and operating costs $49.99/month
Candidate ranking Depends on the review process AI-ranked with explanations
Top talent missed Risk varies by process Criteria-based, with human review
Bulk email outreach Hours of manual work Automated workflow
Setup & training Weeks of onboarding Web-based workflow

That's the difference between staffing the account this week, or losing momentum with a brand-new client.
