Monday, 9:00. Six open roles, and the candidates are everywhere.

Questions HR teams ask
How do you screen hundreds of applicants without adding recruiters?
Let AI run CV screening and the first interview, and let your team decide. Firstview evaluates every CV against the role’s criteria with a reason for each criterion, then the AI interviews every candidate you invite, whenever they are ready. Your team reads the evidence, and hiring managers see only their own roles.
Can it be used standalone without an ATS?
Yes. Firstview covers the ATS basics, so an in-house HR team can run job posts, applications, candidate tracking, interviews and evaluation in Firstview, without a separate ATS.
What does the Notetaker do?
It joins the Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams interviews your hiring managers run, from the calendar or a link, records them and files notes in your template on the right candidate.
How does CV evaluation work?
Firstview reads every CV in context, counts only the experience relevant to the role and gives a reason for each criterion, so HR and hiring managers can see why each result came out as it did. Unclear CVs are marked for human review.
Can we keep posting on job boards?
Yes. Keep your job boards. Upload the CVs in bulk, or point applicants to your Firstview apply page, and every CV is evaluated against the same criteria.
How do we move over from spreadsheets?
Upload CVs in bulk as PDF, DOCX or TXT, or one merged PDF that Firstview splits into candidates. Duplicates are skipped.
How do hiring managers use it?
They see only their own roles, get their pending actions, read the candidate brief and add a team score in one thread.
Does it work for a small HR team?
Yes. Firstview works the same for one HR person or a full talent team.
