Humanly Intelligent CV Screening

Humanly Intelligent CV Screening is a web tool for comparing candidate CVs with hiring criteria. Its Smart Shortlist scores up to 25 CVs per run using weights chosen by the user, quotes the CV evidence behind each score, and points out criteria that are missing. The wider service provides eleven HR co-pilots that create hiring documents across the process, from job adverts through onboarding, probation review, and career paths, in Arabic and English. The system cannot shortlist, reject, or hire candidates; decisions affecting people remain with a human. The free Explorer plan allows up to 10 CVs per screening run, while the Pro plan allows up to 25 and includes Talent Vault. Pro is listed at $129 a month, billed monthly. Generated documents can be exported to Word or PDF, with Excel export and a logo available on Pro. The service is designed for MENA HR teams, particularly organizations where one person handles hiring and there are no existing systems to integrate. Data is processed and stored in the United States, and regional data residency is not currently offered.

Humanly Intelligent provides structured CV scoring and hiring-document tools, while leaving selection decisions to people. Teams should weigh the plan limits and U.S. data residency against their needs.

The service is designed for MENA HR teams, especially companies where one person handles hiring and no systems are in place to integrate. It may suit teams that want CV scoring while keeping hiring decisions with people.

Humanly Intelligent is an Arabic- and English-language HR workspace for MENA employers, particularly a one-person hiring function that has no systems to integrate. Its evidence-backed CV scoring is the standout: it structures review while keeping consequential decisions with people. The main question is whether the free tier is sufficient or Pro’s $129 monthly cost fits your volume and U.S.-only data residency.

Overview

Eleven co-pilots cover the employee journey from job advert creation through onboarding, probation review and career-path documents. Smart Shortlist scores CVs against weights you define, quotes the exact resume evidence supporting each score and identifies missing criteria. Resume parsing, skills screening, knockout questions and custom scoring make the review more systematic than an unstructured inbox.

The product is deliberately assistive. It cannot shortlist, reject or hire anyone, so a human remains responsible for every decision affecting a candidate. That is a sensible boundary for teams seeking consistency without delegating judgment.

Key features

Screening with traceable evidence

Explorer handles up to 10 CVs per screening run; Pro handles up to 25. Scores tied to quoted evidence and missing-criteria flags give reviewers something concrete to verify, although teams processing larger batches will need multiple runs or another tool.

Hiring documents and sourcing

All generated documents can be exported to Word or PDF. Pro adds Excel export with your logo, which is more useful for reporting and handoffs than the basic formats alone. Active Sourcing and Job Posting produces search strings, outreach messages and adverts for LinkedIn, Bayt, Naukrigulf, WhatsApp and email, covering both formal job boards and direct outreach.

Candidate records

Talent Vault tracks candidates through seven stages, from New to Employee or Not a fit, with Arabic and English search. It is included only with Pro, so Explorer is not a persistent applicant-record system.

Security, privacy and regional rules

Uploaded files are encrypted at rest with AES-256 and data in transit uses TLS 1.3. Content sent to the AI sub-processor is used only to generate a response, is not used to train models and is not retained beyond the API request. You can delete Recall memory, your account and all data, or individual uploaded CVs and extracted text from Settings. A Privacy Desk handles output corrections, audit requests and data-processing-agreement requests.

Processing and storage take place in the United States, with no regional residency option. Labour-law rules cover Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan and Oman, a practical advantage for employers operating in those markets but not a substitute for local legal review.

Pricing

Explorer

Explorer is free at no cost. It includes five job descriptions each day and one run of every other co-pilot, with no Talent Vault and no storage. Screening is capped at 10 CVs per run. This suits occasional hiring or evaluation; the daily quotas and lack of saved records make it a poor fit for an active recruiting pipeline.

Pro

Pro costs $129 a month, billed monthly. It unlocks all eleven co-pilots and Talent Vault, allows 300 documents per month and 40 documents per day, supports up to 3,000 candidate profiles, raises screening runs to 25 CVs and provides 5 GB of storage plus Excel export with your logo. It is aimed at a small or midsize MENA team that needs an ongoing workspace rather than isolated generations. The jump from free to paid is substantial, so teams with light volume should calculate usage before subscribing.

Golden

Golden is a larger plan coming soon, with price not listed. Paid plans are advertised from 12 /mo, but the published Pro tier is $129 a month.

Platforms

Humanly Intelligent runs on the web. Its headquarters are in Amman, Jordan.

Who it's for

This is best for MENA HR teams, especially companies where one person handles hiring and there is no existing system to integrate. Arabic and English workflows, seven-country labour-law coverage and sourcing across regional channels are meaningful advantages for that audience. Look elsewhere if you require regional data residency, larger single-run screening batches or a mature integrated ATS.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Evidence-backed scoring: quoted CV passages and missing-criteria flags make custom-weight scores easier for a human to audit.
• Strong MENA fit: Arabic and English support and rules for seven MENA jurisdictions match regional hiring work.
• Broad document coverage: eleven co-pilots span advertising, onboarding, probation and career paths.
• Clear human control: the system cannot make shortlist, rejection or hiring decisions.
• Useful privacy controls: encryption, deletion settings and a dedicated Privacy Desk support governance work.

Cons

• Free tier is tightly capped: five daily job descriptions, single runs for most co-pilots, 10-CV screening runs, no storage and no Talent Vault limit sustained use.
• Pro is a major price step: $129 monthly is considerably more than a casual recruiter may need.
• U.S.-only residency: organizations requiring local or regional storage cannot select a nearer processing location.
• Screening batches remain limited: even Pro tops out at 25 CVs per run.

Verdict

Humanly Intelligent is a strong choice for MENA hiring teams that need bilingual, evidence-based CV review and a wide set of hiring documents without surrendering decisions to automation. Choose Pro when you need Talent Vault, storage and recurring workflows; choose Explorer only for light or trial use. Look elsewhere if U.S. data storage, 25-CV batch limits or the $129 monthly commitment do not fit your compliance or scale requirements.
