AI-Powered Matching
Find the Right Candidates in Seconds
When you publish a job, our AI scans your candidate database and surfaces the best matches based on the skills, experience and requirements you've defined, so you spend less time searching and more time hiring.
-
Automatic CV Skill Detection AI extracts skills, experience and qualifications from every CV the moment it's uploaded.
-
Smart Candidate Scoring Each candidate is scored against your job's required and preferred skills with a clear match percentage.
-
Reasoned Recommendations See exactly which skills matched and which didn't, no black-box decisions.
AI Screening
See How Each Candidate Fits the Role
Ask AI to assess any candidate against a specific job and get back an instant fit score, a clear recommendation, and a plain-English breakdown of their strengths and gaps. It is the second opinion your shortlist decisions deserve, based on the candidate's profile and everything the role requires.
-
Fit Score and Recommendation Every screen returns a score from 0 to 100 and a clear verdict, from Strong fit down to Not a fit, so you know where a candidate stands at a glance.
-
Strengths and Gaps Spelled Out See precisely where a candidate meets your requirements and where they fall short on skills, experience, location or salary.
-
You Always Make the Call Screening is an advisor, not a gatekeeper. Run it on the candidates that matter, read the reasoning, and decide for yourself.
AI Interviews
Run AI Interviews Before the First Stage
Give every applicant a structured first interview without booking a single call. An AI interview assistant takes candidates through your questions as the screening stage for your own roles or on behalf of your clients, then hands you scored and summarised responses before anyone reaches a first stage interview.
-
Guided Interview Chat Candidates open an email link and the assistant walks them through your questions one at a time. They can type or dictate answers, pause and resume, and finish any time before the deadline. No diaries to line up.
-
Questions Written for the Role Build your own script or let Wizard AI generate behavioural, technical and situational questions from the job, up to 15 per interview.
-
Scored and Summarised Every completed interview returns an overall score, per-question scores and feedback, a communication score, sentiment, a written summary and a clear hiring recommendation.

Candidates can request deletion from their portal, and an approved request anonymises their record and removes their files.

Wizard Application covers the core ATS, with jobs, customisable pipelines, a candidate portal and AI CV parsing, and runs it alongside your CRM, contractor timesheets, invoicing and HR in one workspace. For small and growing agencies, that usually means fewer tools to pay for and nothing to rekey between them. Read our guide to switching from Bullhorn.
