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 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. Add a match directly to the job without consuming a scan credit.
Share a live, branded shortlist page with your hiring manager — no login required. They see ranked candidates, pipeline stages, and match reasoning. As you progress candidates the page updates automatically. They can leave comments directly on candidates that notify you instantly.
Every candidate scored 0–100 with plain-English reasoning — why they stand out and what gaps to probe in interview. No black box.
Every CV screened builds your searchable talent pool automatically. See past scores, search by role or skills, delete records on request.
Move candidates through Screened → Shortlisted → Interviewing → Offered → Placed with one click. Active and rejected candidates stay separated.
Tailored questions, strong and weak answer indicators, and red flags — specific to the role and the actual candidates in your shortlist.
Professional shortlist report with your agency name and client details. Includes ranked candidates, reasoning, and interview guide. Ready to send.
Answer targeted questions and get a world-class spec in seconds — with flags for unrealistic criteria, contradictory requirements, and below-market compensation.
Flags CVs showing signs of AI generation — None, Mild, Moderate, or Strong. Know what you're dealing with before you pick up the phone.
Surfaces candidates with unique credentials that others lack — even if their overall score is lower. The candidates you'd otherwise 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.
