Other tools rank what candidates wrote. We rank what they can back up.
A well-written resume scores well in a keyword filter. Whether the candidate can do the work is a different question — and it's the only one that matters.
The reasoning behind each row
Keyword filters reward the best-written CV, not the best candidate
A polished resume clears a keyword filter whether or not the person behind it can do the work. BestHire treats every CV claim as a hypothesis: the AI interview asks about outcomes, tooling, ownership, and dates, and only what the candidate can defend counts toward their ranking.
Signal from what was said — never how it was said
Some interview tools infer "confidence" or "enthusiasm" from voice tone and facial expression. Those signals are opaque, unproven, and a bias and compliance risk. BestHire analyzes the transcript only. No facial scoring, no voice analysis, no biometric inference — ever.
Every verdict shows its work
Click any candidate and each requirement shows the exact CV line and the interview quote that produced the verdict — Strong, Partial, or Gap. There is no composite score to take on faith, and no fit percentage anywhere in the product.
Bias mitigation is structural, not a setting
Matching runs on parsed experience, skills, and education — separated from name, email, and photo. Interviews are transcript-only. Every candidate for a role answers questions generated against the same job requirements, so comparisons stay apples-to-apples.
A screening decision you can defend in writing
When a candidate or regulator asks why someone was not shortlisted, "the algorithm said so" is not an answer. BestHire gives you a written trail: the requirement, the evidence found (or missing), and the verdict. Export it with one click.
Where BestHire deliberately stops
BestHire is decision support, not an automated decision-maker. It never rejects a candidate on its own, never shows candidates a score, and never replaces your final interview — it makes sure the people who reach that interview are worth your time.
