What is AI-powered candidate screening?

AI-powered candidate screening is the process of using artificial intelligence to automatically evaluate job applicants based on their CVs, application form answers, and other signals. Krinai does this by parsing resumes with NLP, judging open-ended answers with a large language model (LLM), and calculating a composite score across 9 behavioural dimensions — all without human bias.

What are the 9 dimensions Krinai uses to score candidates?

Krinai evaluates every candidate across 9 dimensions: (1) Skills Matching — semantic alignment of candidate skills to role requirements, (2) Experience Depth — years, seniority, and domain relevance, (3) Education — degree level, field, and institutional fit, (4) Form Answer Quality — LLM-judged rubric scoring on open-ended answers, (5) Achievements — quantified impact statements extracted from the CV, (6) Soft Skills — communication, leadership, and teamwork signals, (7) Cultural Fit — values alignment with the hiring persona, (8) Red Flag Analysis — anomaly detection, employment gaps, and inconsistencies, (9) Custom Criteria — recruiter-defined rubric rules with configurable weights.

How does Krinai eliminate hiring bias?

Krinai removes bias through several mechanisms: a blind review mode that hides candidate demographics from reviewers, AI-generated job descriptions with inclusive language scoring, standardised rubric-based evaluation for every candidate (no gut-feel decisions), and a hiring panel with consensus tracking. Every scoring decision is auditable and transparent.

How long does it take to screen candidates with Krinai?

Krinai screens candidates in real time as applications arrive. The AI engine parses a CV and evaluates all 9 dimensions in seconds, with results pushed to the recruiter dashboard via WebSocket. Teams using Krinai report a 9× faster shortlisting process compared to manual screening, reducing weeks of work to hours.

Is Krinai free to use?

Yes. Krinai offers a free Starter plan with 3 active job posts, up to 50 applicants per month, and basic AI scoring across 3 dimensions — with no credit card required. The Growth plan at $49/month unlocks the full 9-dimension scoring engine, unlimited job posts, and up to 500 applicants per month. Enterprise plans with custom pricing are available for high-volume hiring.

Is candidate data secure and is Krinai GDPR compliant?

Yes. Krinai is built on a secure-by-design architecture with row-level security (RLS) at the database level, ensuring tenant data isolation. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. The platform is designed with GDPR compliance principles including data minimisation, consent management via cookie controls, and the right to erasure.

GDPR-Compliant Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 30, 2026

Krinai (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of our platform users and applicants. This Privacy Policy details how we collect, process, and protect personal data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other international data privacy frameworks.

1. Roles under GDPR

Depending on the context of the data collection, Krinai operates in two roles:

Data Processor: For data submitted by job applicants through recruiter-defined forms and resumes, Krinai acts as a processor. The recruiter/employer acts as the Data Controller.
Data Controller: For account details, billing logs, and administrative settings of recruiters, Krinai acts as the Data Controller.

2. Information We Process

As a processor, we process candidate details submitted on behalf of controllers:

Candidate identity (name, email, phone number)
Files and resumes (CV uploads, portfolio links)
Form answers, MCQ choices, and open-ended text answers

As a controller, we collect:

Recruiter name, work email, hashed passwords
Subscription data, Lemon Squeezy order references, billing history
Audit trails (IP addresses, login timestamps, device user-agents)

3. Purpose and Legal Basis

We process recruiter details under the legal basis of contractual necessity (billing and accounts) and legitimate interest (security auditing). Candidates' details are processed based on the Controller's recruitment requirements and candidate consent.

4. Data Retention & Erasure (GDPR Rights)

Under our commitment to GDPR, we provide tools for:

Automated Purges: Controllers can set data retention periods from 90 days to 7 years. Candidate details are permanently hard-deleted from database and MinIO storage once the limit expires.
PII Erasure: Controllers can request immediate candidate anonymisation. This nullifies candidate name, email, phone, deletes resume files, and logs the action in the GDPR erasure audit trail.
Data Portability: Recruiter dashboard allows downloading all candidate data as CSV/JSON, or downloading resume structures in a ZIP archive.

5. Subprocessors

We engage the following subprocessors to host infrastructure and process payments:

Supabase / PostgreSQL: Database hosting (managed instances)
MinIO / Redis: Local storage and cache queues
Lemon Squeezy: Payment gateways and billing
