Schedule a demo
One workspace for the whole hire.
Firstview puts seven steps on one candidate record, all on the same criteria. You don’t need a separate ATS.
Design your hiring flow in minutes.
Choose the stages you need: CV screening, AI interview, team interviews, or your own. AI drafts the job post, the criteria, the interview goal, the questions and the note template for each stage. You change anything you like.
Describe who you need. Watch them appear.
Write it the way you would tell a colleague, for example “Senior backend engineer, Node.js and Postgres, based in Amsterdam.” Firstview searches your own talent pool and the open web, and candidates appear as they are found, each ranked against your criteria. Add LinkedIn profiles in one click with the Chrome extension.
Every CV read against what the role really needs.
Today anyone can make a CV that copies your job post word for word. Keyword filters cannot tell those CVs apart, so good people get lost and weak ones get through. Firstview reads each CV against what the role really needs. It counts only the experience whose duties match the role, checks your dealbreakers and explains every result. When a CV is truly unclear, it says “Needs review” and leaves the call to you.
A real first interview, in the candidate’s own language.
The AI Interviewer talks with each candidate live, in their own language or in more than one language in the same interview. It presents your company and the role in the way you choose, asks your questions, follows up when an answer is not complete and answers the candidate’s own questions. Candidates start from their phone or laptop whenever they are ready. Nobody has to schedule a call.
Your team’s interviews, written up for you. Every other meeting too.
Connect your calendar once. The Notetaker joins the Zoom, Google Meet and Teams calls you choose, records them, writes notes in your own template and files them on the right candidate. It works the same for client calls, team reviews and any other meeting in your company.
Decide together, on evidence.
Every criterion gets a verdict with the candidate’s own words and the moment they said them. Your team adds scores from Strong No to Strong Yes and discusses the candidate in one thread. After the interviews, ask the AI Assistant anything about a candidate, for example “How did Ella answer the questions about weekend shifts?”, and get an answer with its sources.
However many candidates. One calm board.
One pipeline board for every role. Pending actions show who needs you now: a CV to review, a candidate to invite, a decision to make. Move, reject or message many candidates at once by email or WhatsApp, and see where each role stands in analytics.
See why each candidate fits.
With Firstview, every number comes with its reasons. Each job criterion gets a verdict, with the candidate’s exact words and the moment they said them.
- 1Quotes for and against.Each verdict shows what supports it and what weakens it.
- 2Click a quote, watch the moment.The transcript is in sync with the recording.
- 3Honest about doubt.“Unclear” and “Needs review” go to a person, never to an automatic rejection.
- 4A person decides.Firstview informs the decision. Your team makes it.
Interview rules that apply while the interview runs.
Many tools only flag cheating after the interview ends. Firstview checks the rules from the start of the interview to the end.
- 01Whole screen shared
- 02Full screen on
- 03Camera on, no virtual camera
- 04Enough light
- 05Stays on the interview tab
- 06One screen
If a rule breaks, the interview pauses and the candidate has 4 minutes to fix it. They have 5 minutes to rejoin, so a dropped connection or a closed laptop lid does not end the interview.

What is Hiring Intelligence?
Hiring Intelligence is the use of AI to run the operational work of hiring and turn everything that happens in the process into evidence for decisions. Candidates are screened and interviewed against the same criteria, every step is recorded, and the hiring team sees why each candidate fits. People make the final call. Talent intelligence studies workforce and labor market data, and interview intelligence analyzes interviews. Hiring Intelligence covers the whole process, from sourcing to the final decision.
What is Firstview?
Firstview is a Hiring Intelligence platform: AI runs the operational work of hiring, records every step, and gives your team the evidence to decide. Sourcing, CV screening, AI interviews, meeting notes, candidate messages and analytics live in one workspace, and Firstview covers the ATS basics too.
Can you trust AI to screen job applicants?
With Firstview you don’t have to trust it blindly, because you can check every result. Each CV result comes with a reason and each interview verdict with the candidate’s own words; unclear cases go to a person, and AI never decides who moves on. Faces and video are never part of the evaluation.
What hiring problems does Firstview solve?
Firstview takes the operational work out of hiring: CV screening, first interviews, interview notes, candidate messages and reporting. It also makes decisions consistent, because every candidate is evaluated against the same criteria with the evidence shown. That helps teams cut time to hire and time to fill, and explain each decision.
How is Firstview different from a traditional ATS?
An ATS shows where each candidate is in the process. Firstview also does the work at each stage: it reads CVs, runs first interviews, takes notes in your own interviews and shows the evidence behind every verdict. It covers the ATS basics too, so you can run your whole hiring process in Firstview.
What modules does Firstview include?
Firstview’s AI modules are Sourcing, CV Screening, AI Interviewer, Notetaker, Candidate Briefs and AI Assistant. Around them are the hiring basics: a pipeline board, analytics, role-based access, email and WhatsApp messages, and a LinkedIn extension for sourcing.
What is the AI Interviewer and how does it work?
The AI Interviewer runs live, two-way voice interviews. It tells candidates about the company and the role, answers their questions, and asks role-specific technical, soft-skill and practical questions, such as salary expectations, work model and location. When an answer leaves out part of the question, it asks a follow-up.
What does the Notetaker do?
The Notetaker joins your Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams calls, automatically from your Google or Microsoft calendar or from a link. It records the call, transcribes each speaker and writes notes in your own template. For candidate interviews it adds a meeting report with key topics, the candidate’s critical statements, strengths and development areas. It works for any other meeting in your company too.
How does CV evaluation work?
Firstview reads each CV (resume) in context instead of matching keywords. It looks at what the person did in each job, however they phrase it, counts only the experience relevant to the role, and explains for each criterion how it read the CV and what it found. When a CV is unclear on a criterion, it marks it for human review.
See all questions
How does Firstview evaluate candidates?
Firstview evaluates candidates against role-specific criteria, both technical and behavioral. In the AI interview, each criterion gets a verdict backed by the candidate’s own words and the moment they said them, and each answer is assessed for completeness, relevance and concrete evidence. Soft skills are assessed against defined behavioral competencies, each with strong and weak indicators.
Does Firstview use facial analysis or gestures for evaluation?
No. Firstview does not use facial analysis or gesture recognition, and video is never part of the evaluation. All evaluations are based solely on the candidate’s verbal responses and shared information. During the interview, the camera is checked only for integrity, for example enough light and no virtual camera.
Is the human decision still required in the process?
Yes. Firstview informs the decision and your team makes it. It gives you CV evaluations, interview reports and the evidence behind each verdict, so your team can decide faster and more consistently. Unclear cases always go to a person.
How do candidates react to AI interviews?
Candidates start when they are ready, in their own language, from their phone or laptop. They can pause, ask for a question to be repeated or skip it, and the interviewer answers their questions about the role. We refine the interview flow based on candidate feedback.
Which languages does Firstview support?
AI interviews run in English, Turkish, German, Spanish or French, in the candidate’s own language. You can also ask single questions in another language, or use more than one language in the same interview.
Can it be used standalone without an ATS?
Yes. Since Firstview covers the ATS basics, it can be used on its own without a separate ATS. You can run job postings, applications, candidate tracking, interviews, and evaluation directly within Firstview.
How long does it take for a team to start using it?
Once your account is set up, you can create your first role and start screening the same day. Our onboarding team can also run live sessions for your users.
How is GDPR and data privacy compliance handled?
Candidates give consent in the application and interview flow, and access to candidate data is set by role. For a data processing agreement or a security questionnaire, write to security@firstview.ai.
