Hire on evidence.

Align turns a job description into weighted requirements, scores every applicant against them with the reasoning shown, and leaves the final decision to your team.

How it works

Three steps from job post to shortlist.

Define what the role needs, share one application link, and review a ranked list backed by evidence.

01

Post the job

Draft the description with the writing assistant, then set the requirements and how much each one matters.

02

Candidates apply

Share a branded application page. Candidates upload a resume, give consent, and are on your leaderboard in minutes.

03

Review the evidence

Every applicant gets a match score with strengths, gaps and interview questions. Compare, shortlist and decide.

Features

Everything between a job post and a confident hire

01/Define

Start from what the role actually needs

Write the job description with an AI assistant, then turn it into a short list of requirements, each with a weight. The same criteria are applied to every candidate.

  • A job description writing assistant
  • Weighted requirements you can edit any time
  • One branded application link per job
02/Collect

A clean application, without the inbox chaos

Candidates apply on a page branded with your company name. They upload a PDF or Word resume and give consent, and every file is scanned before it is stored.

  • Resume upload with malware scanning
  • GDPR consent captured on the apply page
  • No account needed for candidates
03/Evaluate

A score you can explain

Each resume is read against your requirements. You get a match score, the strengths and gaps behind it, and interview questions aimed at the gaps. The score is calculated from the judgements, not guessed.

  • Match score per candidate
  • Strengths, gaps and suggested interview questions
  • A live leaderboard that updates as people apply
04/Decide

Compare candidates, review the trade-offs

Put candidates side by side against the same requirements and review their strengths and gaps before deciding who to interview. Share a private shortlist link with your hiring managers.

  • Side-by-side candidate comparison
  • Share a private shortlist with hiring managers
  • People stay in charge of every decision
05/Screen

Go deeper with screening assessments

Send shortlisted candidates a short assessment tied to the role and review the responses next to their evaluation. Available on the Growth, Professional and Business plans.

  • Role-specific screening questions
  • Responses evaluated against the same requirements
  • Included on Growth, Professional and Business

Compare track records and territory fit against the same criteria, and decide which candidates to interview.

Operations

Weights are set once per job, so every candidate is judged on the same terms.

A faster first pass

Skip the first read of every resume and start with a ranked list.
