Frequently asked questions
Before requesting access
Which CV formats are supported?
The private-beta scope covers standard PDF, DOCX and extracted UTF-8 text. Image-only documents are not included unless an OCR capability is explicitly agreed.
Can we provide candidate data that is already structured?
Yes. Customers can provide a CandidateProfile directly for application analysis and skip the parsing call and charge.
Does the API rank or shortlist candidates?
No. It supports application preparation and human-reviewed guidance, not candidate ranking, shortlisting or rejection.
How does it avoid inventing candidate information?
Outputs retain source evidence, confidence and clarification points. Missing evidence is made visible rather than replaced with invented qualifications or experience.
How is candidate information handled?
Use fictional or appropriately redacted information until production retention, deletion, security and data-processing arrangements have been agreed.
How are API calls charged?
Private-beta pricing is based on successful calls. Production access starts with £25 of prepaid credit, with no subscription required during the beta.
