Behavioural Analysis & CV Scoring

As part of our recruitment platform, we analyse CV and profile text submitted by candidates to extract behavioural signals and generate insights. This analysis powers our Behavioural Analysis feature.

Specifically, we process CV content and in-app interactions to score candidates across a range of behavioural indicators, including communication style, problem-solving aptitude, leadership traits, and teamwork tendencies. These scores are shared with recruiters alongside candidate profiles to support more informed hiring decisions.

Lawful basis: We process this data under legitimate interest, as it directly supports the core purpose of the platform — matching candidates with employers based on behavioural fit. We ensure transparency by clearly explaining what data is analysed, how scores are generated, and how they are used. Candidates can review and manage their data via their account settings at any time.
