CVs and shortlists in detail
When a candidate is shortlisted, Flynn scores their CV against the job, with the reasons shown. The
recruiter can open a report that sets out where the CV is strong and where it is light on the skills
and key requirements the job asks for. The score helps the recruiter choose and decide what to fix; it
never rules anyone out on its own.
From there, the recruiter can ask Flynn to improve the CV for that job. It works from the CV and
everything else already on file about the candidate, and each improved line shows where it came from.
Anything the job asks for that is not on file is left as a question for the candidate, never written in.
The recruiter reads the result, changes what they like and approves it.
The CV is built from the candidate’s record in one of the agency’s CV templates, so it carries the
agency’s branding, or follows the format a particular client prefers. The shortlist goes to the client
from the recruiter’s own mailbox, and the client’s response comes back and is logged against the job.
Getting candidates in is just as quick. Bulk CV upload takes one CV or a whole folder, whether that is a
morning’s inbound CVs or an existing database being moved across. Each CV becomes a structured candidate
record, with name, contacts, skills, work history and education, and is checked against the existing
database for duplicates. The upload history shows every batch and what happened to each file, so a file
that could not be read is never simply lost.
