Aptly ranks your candidates, tells you exactly who to interview and why — and makes sure every applicant knows where they stand. No integrations. No setup. Start in minutes.
20 free CV scans included. No credit card required.
CVs are longer, more polished, and harder to read than ever before. The right candidates are in there — buried under applications that look right but feel wrong. Sorting signal from noise is taking longer, not less time.
And the candidates you didn't progress? Most will never hear back. In an industry built on relationships, ghosting has become the norm. It damages reputations, and everyone knows it.
Aptly finds the right match. 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 30 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. Progress candidates through stages and send communications in one click.
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.
Every candidate is scored 0–100 against your job spec with plain-English explanations of why they stand out and what gaps to probe in interview. No black box — you see exactly how each decision was made and can defend it to your client.
Answer targeted questions about the role and Aptly generates a well-structured job specification — including a check for unrealistic criteria, contradictory requirements, and below-market compensation. Better starting point than a blank page or a generic ChatGPT output.
Move candidates through stages — Screened, Shortlisted, Interviewing, Offered, Placed, Rejected — with a single click. The right email template appears automatically at each transition. Rejected candidates move to a separate section so your active list stays clean.
Aptly flags CVs that show signs of AI generation — from mild polish to fully synthetic content. It's not a disqualifier on its own, but it tells you where to look harder before the interview. Know what you're dealing with before you pick up the phone.
Generate a professional shortlist report with your agency name and your client's details. Includes the job specification, ranked candidates with reasoning, and the interview guide. A polished deliverable you can send directly to your client.
Every screening generates a tailored interview guide with opening questions, technical questions, strong and weak answer indicators, and red flags to listen for — specific to the role and the actual candidates in your shortlist, not generic advice.
Sometimes the best candidate isn't the highest scorer. Aptly flags candidates with unique credentials that no other applicant has — the ones who might score lower overall but bring something specific the role actually needs. The candidates others would overlook.
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. Your clients expect a polished shortlist, not a pile of CVs.
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.
Start free. Upgrade when you're ready. No contracts, no hidden fees, no per-seat surprises.
20 free CV scans. No credit card. No integrations to set up. If it doesn't save you time, you've lost nothing.
