Cignevo Recruit · For employers & staffing agencies
Stop burning panel hours on first-round screening.
Cignevo Recruit interviews every applicant against your CV, job description and evaluation rubric — probing until it knows whether the expertise is real. Your hiring panel logs in, reads the shortlist, and goes straight to the interviews that matter. Minutes, not days.

of your time per round — set it up in the panel, come back to a ranked shortlist. That is the whole job.
senior hours spent on first-round screening. Your panel meets the candidates who already proved they can do the work.
applicant properly interrogated — not just the ones whose CV happened to be read that afternoon.
Three steps. Two of them take minutes.
-
01
Create the round in your panel
Log in, upload the job description and your evaluation rubric, add the candidates. A few minutes of clicking. You manage every round from the same place afterwards.
-
02
Candidates interview themselves
Each one gets a private link and interviews in their browser, whenever suits them. Nothing to install, no account to create, no calendar to coordinate, no panel member sitting in.
-
03
Open the panel, read the shortlist
Candidates ranked against your rubric, each score linked to the exchange that earned it. Your panel's first real involvement is the interview that decides the hire.
It digs. That is the entire point.
Nobody hides behind CV wording
"Led the migration." "Worked on the pricing engine." Cignevo reads the CV, the job description and your rubric, then asks the follow-up that separates the person who did the work from the person who was in the room. Vague answers get probed. "We" gets taken apart until it becomes "I".
Your rubric, applied properly
Not a fixed question list — every candidate is pushed until each rubric line is genuinely evidenced.
Nothing is a black box
Every score links to the exchange that produced it.
No panel diaries involved
No calendar overlap, no rescheduling, no senior hours spent on candidates who won't pass.
You run it yourself
Create and manage rounds from your client panel. Minutes per round, not a project.

Fair questions
Do candidates need to install anything?
No. The interview runs in the browser on desktop or mobile. The candidate clicks their private link and starts — nothing to download, no account to create.
Is this replacing our interview panel?
No — it protects their time. It replaces the first-round screen, the repetitive stage that eats senior hours and is currently either rushed or skipped entirely. Your panel still runs the interviews that decide the hire, but only with candidates whose expertise has already been tested.
How much of our time does a round actually take?
Minutes. You create the round in your client panel — job description, evaluation rubric, candidates — and come back to a ranked shortlist. Between those two moments nobody on your side is involved. There are no interviews to sit in and no calendars to coordinate.
Can we see why a candidate scored the way they did?
Yes. Every score links back to the exact exchange that produced it, with the reasoning shown. You can override any score — the shortlist is a recommendation, not a verdict.
Doesn't every candidate just get the same questions?
No. Cignevo works from the candidate's own CV, your job description and your evaluation rubric, so the questions differ for every person. Where a CV claims something, it asks about that claim specifically. Where an answer is vague or hides individual contribution behind "the team", it keeps going until the rubric line is actually evidenced — or clearly isn't.
How do you stop candidates gaming it?
The follow-up questions are generated from what the candidate has just said, which is difficult to prepare against. A rehearsed answer gets pulled apart rather than accepted, and depth is exactly where borrowed credentials fall down.
Do we depend on you to run a round?
No. You have your own client panel — create new rounds, edit the ones in flight, review results and export them yourself. We help with onboarding and with your first rubric if you want it, then you run rounds without us.
What about candidate data?
Candidate data is stored per client with row-level isolation, and is exportable or deletable on request. You remain the controller of your candidates' data; we process it on your instruction. Cignevo produces scores and recommendations — it does not make hiring decisions, and you remain responsible for the ones you make.
