You shouldn't be spending hours reading CVs before you know if a candidate can even answer your questions. Flip the sequence — score first, read later. Here's how.
Post a role on JobStreet or LinkedIn and you'll often receive 50–200 applications within the first 48 hours. Each CV takes 2–4 minutes to review. That's 3–13 hours of reading before you've spoken to a single person.
Worse — CV review is a poor proxy for actual performance. A polished CV doesn't tell you how a candidate communicates under pressure, whether they can structure a coherent answer to a problem-solving question, or how they respond when probed on a claim they made.
The shortlist you produce after CV review is based on presentation skill and formatting. That's not what you're hiring for.
With live AI interviewing platform technology, the sequence changes entirely.
Every applicant receives a link immediately — no scheduling, no coordination. They click, open their browser, and begin.
Sofia conducts the same structured interview with every candidate. 15–25 minutes. No app download. No account needed.
Every candidate is scored per dimension. You see a ranked list with evidence quotes before you've opened a single CV.
You've just eliminated 60–70% of your CV reading workload. The candidates who remain genuinely answered your questions well.
You're not guessing. You have scored evidence. Human interview time is spent on depth — not on basic competency verification.

Start Free →You define the competencies that matter for each role. HireCredible builds the interview around those criteria. Every candidate answer is evaluated against the rubric you set — not a generic template.
Sofia probes answers that are too brief or vague. If a candidate gives a surface-level response, they get a follow-up question. This mirrors what a skilled human interviewer would do — but consistently, for every single candidate, at any hour.
Results include per-dimension scores, an overall score, integrity signal flags, and direct quotes from the candidate's answers as evidence for each rating.
There's no limit on how many candidates can interview simultaneously. If 80 applicants all receive invitations on Monday, all 80 can complete their interviews on Monday night — some at 8pm, some at 11pm, some during their lunch break on Tuesday.
By Wednesday morning, you have 80 ranked candidates. A traditional phone screen process for the same cohort would still be mid-schedule.
For teams running 10–20 roles simultaneously — recruitment agencies, high-growth startups, retail chains across multiple locations — the Pro plan at SGD 199/month covers ~20 interviews per month. Team at SGD 449/month scales to ~67 interviews.
HireCredible processes video in the browser using native browser APIs. The video stream never leaves the candidate's device — it's analysed locally and discarded. Zero videos are stored on our servers, ever.
Only the text transcript and scores are retained. Candidates are informed of this before the interview begins and consent is recorded. This architecture makes PDPA compliance straightforward — there's no video data to manage.
What is automated candidate shortlisting?
Automated shortlisting uses AI to evaluate and rank candidates before human review. With HireCredible, every applicant completes an AI interview and receives a competency score — so your shortlist is ranked before you read a single CV.
Is automated shortlisting fair to candidates?
Yes — when done correctly. HireCredible applies the same questions, rubric, and evaluator to every candidate. Scores are based entirely on answer content, not on appearance, accent, or demographic markers.
How many candidates can HireCredible screen at once?
There is no limit on simultaneous interviews. Candidates complete their interview independently, so 100 candidates can all interview at the same time with no scheduling coordination required.
Can I customise the scoring criteria?
Yes. You define the competencies and criteria for each role. HireCredible scores every candidate against those criteria and returns per-dimension scores with supporting evidence quotes.
What happens to candidate data after the interview?
Nothing is stored. HireCredible processes the video stream in the browser — it never reaches our servers. Only the text transcript and scores are retained. Zero videos stored, ever.
