How to screen CVs with Lucuma

Lucuma turns a stack of CVs into a ranked, explainable shortlist in minutes. There are three steps and no training required. It works with PDF, Word (.docx) and Google Docs exports.

1

Set your criteria

Build a boolean search query and set required keywords, location, nationality and industry filters and minimum years of experience. Upload a job spec PDF for even more precision.

2

Upload your CVs

Drag and drop up to 500 CVs at once. PDFs work best. Lucuma screens each CV against your criteria and only assigns a score when there is sufficient data to do so accurately.

3

Review your shortlist

Scored candidates are ranked by category, each with a plain-English reason for the score. Any CV without sufficient data is separated into a manual review list, clearly explained and never silently failed. Add the best candidates to your pipeline with one click.
