Humanly Intelligent CV Screening

Overview

Eleven co-pilots cover hiring documents from job adverts through onboarding, probation reviews and career paths. The product is designed for companies where one person handles hiring, and its labour-law outputs cover Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan and Oman. That regional focus makes it more relevant to MENA employers than teams seeking a broadly stated, location-neutral workflow.

Smart Shortlist scores CVs against user-set weights, cites the evidence behind each score and flags missing criteria. Resume parsing, skills screening, knockout questions and custom scoring support structured review, but the software cannot shortlist, reject or hire anyone. That human-control boundary is useful for teams wanting assistance without handing over consequential decisions.

Key features

Screening and sourcing

Explorer allows up to 10 CVs per run; Pro raises that ceiling to 25. The evidence citations and missing-criteria flags make scores more reviewable, though a small team with larger applicant batches will hit the free cap quickly. Active Sourcing and Job Posting creates search strings, outreach messages and adverts for LinkedIn, Bayt, Naukrigulf, WhatsApp and email.

Candidate records and documents

Talent Vault tracks candidate records across seven stages, from New to Employee or Not a fit, and supports Arabic and English search. Generated documents export to Word or PDF; Pro adds Excel export with the user's logo. Vault and storage are absent from Explorer, so the free plan cannot serve as an ongoing candidate-record system.

Data handling

Data in transit uses TLS 1.3, and uploaded files are encrypted at rest with AES-256. User content sent to the AI sub-processor is used only to generate a response, is not used to train models and is not retained by that sub-processor beyond the API request. Data is processed and stored in the United States, with no regional data residency, which may rule it out for organizations requiring local hosting. Users can delete Recall memory, their account and all data, or uploaded CVs and extracted text through Settings. A Privacy Desk handles output corrections, audit requests and data-processing-agreement requests at [email protected].

Pricing

Explorer costs 0.00 USD per free. It includes five job descriptions every day and one run of every other co-pilot, but caps screening at 10 CVs per run and excludes Talent Vault and storage. This is a useful way to try the workflow or handle occasional hiring, not a durable setup for a team managing candidate records.

Pro costs 129.00 USD per month, billed monthly. It includes all eleven co-pilots and Talent Vault, 300 documents per month, 40 documents per day, up to 3,000 candidate profiles, 25 CVs per screening run and 5 GB of storage. It fits a team that needs the full workflow and persistent records, although daily and monthly document ceilings still matter for heavier use. Golden is coming soon as a bigger plan, with custom pricing.

Who it's for

This is best suited to MENA HR teams, particularly a small company with one person handling hiring and no existing systems to integrate. Arabic and English support, regional labour-law coverage and tools spanning sourcing through employee development make the broader suite more compelling than a standalone CV scorer. Employers that require data residency outside the United States should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Evidence accompanies scores: Smart Shortlist cites CV passages and missing criteria, giving reviewers a basis to inspect rather than simply accept a ranking.
• People retain hiring authority: the system cannot shortlist, reject or hire, a meaningful boundary for teams using automated assistance.
• Regional breadth: Arabic and English support and labour-law outputs for seven MENA countries match the product's intended market.
• Free-tier constraints: Explorer has no Talent Vault or storage and permits only 10 CVs per run, limiting its usefulness for sustained recruitment.
• US-only data location: processing and storage in the United States, without regional residency, may conflict with an employer's requirements.
• Pro has firm throughput limits: 300 documents monthly and 40 daily may constrain teams with high-volume document workflows.

Alternatives

Candidate Screening Software is a broader category page for comparing screening options. For a web-based freemium tool with smaller analysis batches, SkipCV offers a free plan with 20 credits and a maximum of eight candidates per analysis; its Pro plan provides 250 credits per month at custom pricing. Octagnt may suit teams evaluating larger profile volumes on a free allowance: its free plan covers one requisition and 150 profiles evaluated each month, while Starter costs 499.00 USD per month for 10 requisitions monthly.

Hirvana is another web-based freemium option. Job-Eval is a web-based free option. Rezmatch.ai and Talsense are web-based freemium alternatives. Ducknowl suits buyers seeking mobile and web access with customized pricing based on hiring process and screening or assessment types, paying only for what they use. CVViZ Job Distribution may fit teams needing distribution across many platforms: its Starter plan is 99.00 USD per month for five active jobs and unlimited users, with a free trial but no free plan.

Verdict

Choose Humanly Intelligent if a MENA HR team wants evidence-backed CV scoring inside a wider Arabic- and English-language hiring workflow, with people firmly in control of decisions. Its regional coverage and range of co-pilots are the draw; the free tier's narrow screening and lack of records, Pro's monthly cost and the absence of regional data residency are the reasons to consider another tool.
