AI candidate matching for recruitment and staffing agencies

Venora Match ranks every application against your client’s brief, finds the people you already know when a new vacancy opens, and shows why each candidate is on the shortlist. Your consultants make every decision.

Where an agency desk loses the day

Screening every CV by hand

A client role goes live and a hundred applications arrive. Each one has to be opened, read against the brief and sorted — before anyone has spoken to a candidate.

Forgetting who you already know

The right person for today’s vacancy is often someone you spoke to last year. Finding them means remembering them, or rebuilding a search from keywords that miss half the pool.

Explaining the shortlist

The client asks why these three and not the others. The answer exists in a consultant’s head, and it differs from one consultant to the next.

  2. 02 · The match

    Why a candidate matches — and where they fall short

    Each fit score comes with the reasons for and against, a written recommendation, and a requirement-by-requirement table showing the evidence from the CV behind each one. Essential and preferred requirements are kept apart.

  3. 03 · Your decision

    The recruiter confirms, corrects or rejects

    Venora Match never rejects a candidate on its own. The review queue keeps the fit report open beside each person, and every confirmation is recorded with who made it and when.

What changes for your consultants

The pool is the asset, not the vacancy

An agency’s advantage is the people it already knows. Semantic search reads that pool in plain language — “who has cloud experience and can start in March?” — and answers with the reasoning behind each result, so a candidate placed eighteen months ago is findable when the right role appears.

The client format problem, solved once

Every client wants the CV their way. Venora Match reformats a shortlisted candidate’s CV into your template as DOCX or PDF, so the hours spent retyping someone else’s career into your house layout stop being part of the job.

When the client asks why this shortlist

Each candidate carries the score, the requirements met and missed, the evidence behind both, and the name of the person who confirmed the decision. That is the answer to “why these three?” — available immediately, not reconstructed from memory.

Margin, not headcount

Screening is the part of the work that scales worst: twice the applications, twice the afternoon. Moving it to a tool that reads everything and explains itself is what lets a small desk take on more roles without adding a reviewer.

Illustrative example

A worked example: one candidate, one client role

Role Payroll Specialist — for a client in logistics

Requirements for the role, whether the candidate meets each one, and the evidence from the CV
RequirementTypeResultEvidence in the CV
Three or more years running payroll end to endEssentialMetPayroll Officer, 2019–2024: monthly payroll for around 450 employees
Portuguese payroll legislationEssentialMetPrepared Social Security and IRS withholding returns each month
Advanced ExcelEssentialMissingExcel appears in the skills list, but no example of advanced use is given
SAP HR or SuccessFactorsPreferredMissingNo mention of SAP in the CV
English at B2 or abovePreferredMetCambridge B2 First certificate, 2018

The consultant sees a strong match with one essential requirement not evidenced. They ask about Excel in the screening call, note SAP as a training point for the client, and confirm the candidate onto the shortlist. The decision, and who made it, is recorded with the vacancy.

Oversight

Transparent matching. Your consultants decide.

  • Every fit score arrives with the reasons for and against, and the evidence from the CV behind each requirement.
  • Essential and preferred requirements are kept apart, and the ranking treats a missing must-have differently from a missing nice-to-have.
  • Identifying details are removed before the analysis runs, so candidates are compared on what they have done.
  • Venora Match never rejects a candidate on its own, and it cannot be configured to.
  • Each decision is recorded with who made it and when — the answer for the client, or the candidate, who asks later.
