Transparent screening
Penroll treats AI as a first-pass assistant, not the hiring decision. You can inspect the evidence behind every score and make the final call yourself.
The role's must-haves, useful experience, and seniority become the same rubric for every applicant.
Each score points back to experience stated in the CV, while missing or unclear evidence is shown as a gap.
You see Interview, Maybe, or Pass recommendations, then review and override them before taking action.
Your shortlist is only step 3
Keep the role, candidate evidence, interviews, and offer together instead of restarting in a spreadsheet. Penroll runs the whole hire from one workspace.

10 free credits — enough to create a role and rank your first 5 applicants. No card.
PDF, DOCX, or TXT, up to 5 MB per file and up to 12 CVs per anonymous batch. Files need extractable text — a PDF made only of scanned images may not be readable. The first 3 ranked cards are shown in full; the rest unlock with a free account.
The role’s must-haves, useful experience, and seniority become one rubric applied to every applicant. Each score points back to experience stated in the CV, and missing or unclear evidence is shown as a gap. You get an Interview, Maybe, or Pass recommendation to review — the hiring decision stays yours.
The model is instructed not to use protected characteristics such as name, age, gender, nationality, ethnicity, religion, or a photograph when scoring. It can point to evidence written in a CV and flag what is missing; it cannot verify claims. Treat the ranking as a review aid inside your own lawful hiring process, not an automated decision.
Files are parsed and ranked on the server. Extracted text can be stored in a temporary preview session so you can share the preview or import the shortlist after signup. Claim links expire after 48 hours, expired sessions are cleaned up, and the anonymous copy is deleted after a successful import. Preview analytics record counts, never CV text or names.
Yes — the sample demo and your own preview batch need no account and no card. A free account adds 10 credits to save the shortlist and keep hiring; paid plans start at $19/month when you need more.
