Two years ago, a strong application took effort to write. Now a candidate can generate a polished, keyword-stuffed CV in minutes — and they know it. Your inbox has tripled. Your time hasn't. The right candidates are still in there, but finding them when everything looks equally credible on paper is taking longer than it ever has.
And the candidates you didn't progress? Most will never hear back. In an industry built on relationships, ghosting has quietly become the norm — and every recruiter knows the reputational cost they're carrying.
Aptly cuts through the noise, keeps your clients informed, and makes sure every candidate knows where they stand.
Most recruitment tools need weeks of configuration — connecting to your ATS, importing candidate databases, training your team. If you don't already have an established tech stack, you're stuck before you've started.
Aptly needs none of that. Create an account, paste a job spec, drop in CVs. You're screening.
No training. No configuration. Create a job, upload CVs, and you're done.
Paste your existing job spec or use Aptly's AI builder — answer a few targeted questions and get a world-class spec in seconds, with a check for unrealistic criteria before you screen a single CV.
PDF or Word, up to 50 at a time. Aptly reads every one, scores each candidate against your spec, and runs batches in parallel. No formatting requirements — it handles the mess.
A ranked candidate list with plain-English reasoning, ready-to-send emails for every applicant, an interview guide, and a white-labeled PDF. Share a live link with your client — they see stages update in real time and can leave comments on candidates.
No buzzwords. Here's exactly what you get.
Every applicant gets a personalised, specific email — shortlisted candidates receive warm outreach, borderline candidates get two options, rejected candidates get a respectful response. Move a candidate to a new stage and the right email appears instantly, ready to send.
Working a new role? Hit AI Database Search on any job and Aptly scans your entire candidate pool, ranks the best matches against the job spec, and explains why each one fits — with specific, evidence-based reasoning pulled from their CV.

Every candidate scored 0–100 with plain-English reasoning — why they stand out and what gaps to probe in interview. No black box.

Surfaces candidates with unique credentials that others lack — even if their overall score is lower. The candidates you'd otherwise overlook.
Track clients, contacts, and linked jobs in one place. Assign hiring managers, log notes, and manage client relationships alongside your pipeline.
Your own branded job board at aptly.pro/jobs/[your-agency]. Post open roles in one click — candidates apply directly and arrive in your pipeline ready to screen.
Invite your team to collaborate on jobs and candidates. Pooled scans, shared candidate database, and cross-team visibility across your agency.
Whether you place candidates for a living or just need to fill a role — Aptly works from day one.
You're placing candidates across multiple clients and roles simultaneously. Every hour spent manually screening is an hour not spent building relationships or closing placements. And every candidate you ghost is a future relationship damaged — in an industry where reputation compounds in both directions.
You're hiring across departments with different requirements and limited time. Inconsistent screening leads to inconsistent hires — and decisions that are hard to explain to hiring managers who want to know why someone didn't make the cut.
You posted a role and now you have 40 applications. You don't have a recruiter or an HR department — just a business to run and a hire to make. You need to move quickly without making an expensive mistake.
