Benchmark methodology

Benchmark whether your CV database can still produce useful candidates.

This is the public benchmark framework behind CVault's agency rediscovery wedge: one live role, a bounded set of permitted CVs, recruiter review, and evidence-first scoring.

Evidence status: methodology template, not a production benchmark result.

Five metrics recruiters can actually review

01

Rediscovery rate

How many past candidates are worth recruiter review for the live role?

Count candidates moved into the reviewable shortlist divided by the permitted CV pool size.
02

Evidence acceptance

Do recruiters accept the cited CV evidence behind the match reasons?

Recruiter review marks each evidence-backed reason as accepted, disputed, or insufficient.
03

Gap visibility

Does the shortlist expose missing must-haves before outreach?

Track whether key gaps are visible on the candidate card and whether they change outreach decisions.
04

Shortlist rebuild time

How long does it take to rebuild a shortlist from old CVs?

Compare recruiter time spent on the CVault sample against the agency's normal database-search workflow.
05

Recruiter actionability

Can a recruiter decide the next action from the output alone?

Reviewers classify each candidate as contact, hold, reject, or needs more evidence.

Recommended benchmark process

  1. Choose one active role with clear must-haves and nice-to-haves.
  2. Select up to 100 existing CVs the agency is allowed to process for the sample.
  3. Run the CV pool through parsing, role matching, evidence extraction, and gap surfacing.
  4. Ask a recruiter to review the ranked shortlist and mark accepted, disputed, and insufficient evidence.
  5. Compare actionability and time spent against the agency's usual CV database search process.

Limitations to keep the benchmark honest

  • This page is a methodology template, not a production benchmark result.
  • Synthetic demos can show workflow shape, but real-CV readiness requires a permitted customer sample and recruiter review.
  • The benchmark should not be used as an automated hiring decision; it is a decision-support review framework.

Run the benchmark on one permitted CV sample.

Start with one live role and up to 100 CVs your team is allowed to process. CVault returns a recruiter-review shortlist with evidence, gaps, and follow-up questions.
