CVs are unreliable. So we talk to every applicant.

A CV only tells you what someone chose to write down - and more and more of them are written by AI. BeCareers gives every applicant a short, structured screening conversation about your role, and gives you a transcript and summary of each one. You still make every decision.

From application to shortlist in six steps

1

You set the criteria

For each role, tell us what matters: must-haves, nice-to-haves and anything you always ask. The AI builds its questions around that, not a fixed script.

2

The candidate applies

They apply on your careers page through the BeCareers widget and upload their CV. They never leave your site.

3

The CV is checked against your role

The AI reads the CV against your criteria and finds the gaps - missing experience, unclear dates, anything worth asking about.

4

A 5-minute conversation

The AI screening agent asks follow-up questions tailored to the role, in any of 100+ languages, at whatever time suits the candidate.

5

You get a transcript and summary

Every conversation is recorded and summarised in English in your dashboard. Compare candidates side by side and share with your team.

6

You decide

You choose who moves forward. Export to your ATS and spend your interview time on the people worth meeting.

What the AI does - and what it doesn't

First-stage screening is where hiring loses speed and trust. We built BeCareers to fix the speed without losing the trust.

It gathers information

It asks role-specific questions, follows up on gaps and writes down what the candidate said. Every applicant is asked about the same criteria.

It doesn't make decisions

The AI doesn't reject or shortlist anyone - it presents structured summaries, and your team decides. If you set knock-out rules for must-have requirements, those rules are yours; tell applicants about them.

It shows its work

You get the full transcript, not just a score, so every decision can be explained - to the candidate, to your team or to an auditor.

It only uses what candidates tell it

We screen the CV and the conversation - what the candidate chose to share. We don't scan their social media or public profiles.

Built for high-volume hiring

Every applicant, not the first 15

When 200 people apply and you can call 15, the other 185 get a skim of their CV at best. BeCareers screens all 200 the same way.

Open 24/7

Shift workers, carers and people who already have jobs apply in the evening. The screening happens then too, while they're still interested.

Career changers get a fair hearing

Keyword filters drop people with transferable skills. A conversation finds them.

Consistent by design

The 200th applicant gets the same questions and the same attention as the first. Nobody gets a tired recruiter at 5pm on a Friday.

Privacy built in

UK data residency, GDPR from day one, candidate consent and the right to withdraw. Read our privacy approach.
