In a customer’s words

“It has taken a lot of stress off me.”

“Vera reviews their applications, schedules them for an interview and also does the interview. I just get to review the interview and pick the best candidate.”

The problem

The hardest part of hiring is reading CVs and doing first interviews

And AI has made it harder. Anyone can now write a polished CV in a few minutes, so the CV on its own tells you less than it used to. The best way to find out if someone can really do the job is to talk to them, and that’s the part Vera takes off your plate.

How it works

You set it up, Vera does the legwork, and you make the call

You tell Vera about the role. Vera reads the CVs and runs the first interviews, however many applications come in. Then you review the shortlist and decide who moves forward.

  1. 01 · You · Create

    Set up the role

    Tell Vera about the job: the must-haves, the skills you want tested, how the interview should run and how many people you want to see.

  2. 02 · Vera · Screen

    Vera reads every CV

    Each CV is checked against your must-haves. You can see which were met, which were missing, and the exact line Vera based that on.

    You’re never charged for duplicates or files that can’t be read.

  3. 03 · Vera · Interview

    Vera interviews the candidates

    Each candidate has a real voice conversation with Vera, built around the role and their own CV. If an answer is vague, Vera asks a follow-up, and it gives people time to think.

    Candidates who need it can ask for an accessible alternative.

  4. 04 · You · Decide

    You choose who moves forward

    You get the recordings, transcripts and scores side by side. So when someone asks why you picked a candidate, the answer is right there.

Your hiring assistant

Just tell Vera what you need

Vera works like an assistant you can chat with. Ask it to set up a role, go through a batch of CVs, invite people, book interviews or follow up with candidates, and it gets on with it. Anything it drafts for a candidate waits for your OK before it’s sent.

A custom careers landing page

Every company gets its own branded careers page, with your logo, cover photo, colours and open roles. Vera sets it up from a chat, and candidates apply straight from it.

A hiring pipeline without forms

Describe the job in plain words and Vera builds the pipeline: the must-haves, questions, interview format and every stage from applied to hired. You can change any of it by asking.

Upload a pile of CVs at once

Vera matches every CV to the right role and checks it against the must-haves. Once you’ve approved the list, it invites everyone who qualifies.

Candidates book their own interview time

Each invitation has a booking link. Candidates pick a slot, get reminders, and their interview opens 15 minutes before the time they chose.

Vera takes care of the emails

Invitations, confirmations and reminders go out on their own. You hear straight away if someone misses an interview, and decision emails wait for your OK.

Ask it anything

Find a candidate, move someone forward, pull up an interview report, or get a job post written for LinkedIn, WhatsApp or Jobberman. Just ask.

Checking the CV

Vera asks candidates about what’s on their CV

During the interview, Vera picks out the claims in each CV and asks about them. Each one ends up verified, partly verified, unverified or contradicted. If a claim doesn’t hold up, the score for that skill is capped, so a polished CV can’t carry someone through on its own.

CV claims · tested in the interview · illustrativeCustomer Service Officer · candidate 17 of 19

Confidence isn’t the same as evidence

A candidate who talks smoothly but gives no real examples won’t score higher than “adequate”. A quieter candidate who explains what they actually did will score better.

Only what they say is scored

Accent, name, age, gender and appearance are left out of the scoring completely.

Hidden instructions in a CV don’t work

Some people now hide text in their CV telling the AI to rate them highly. Vera flags that as a warning sign instead of following it.

Fair interviews

Every candidate gets the same fair interview

Whether someone applied first or four hundredth, the same skills are tested, with the same time and the same scorecard. Nobody gets rushed because it’s late and there are still fifty CVs to go.

Every score shows where it came from

If a skill never came up in the interview, Vera leaves it blank instead of guessing. And every quote in the report is checked word for word against what the candidate actually said. Anything that doesn’t match is taken out.

Quoted from the answer

“I would apologise first, then check the order myself before promising anything — the last time I promised a delivery date I could not confirm, it went badly.”

Not asked · not scored

Team leadership was on the scorecard for this role. The interview ran out of time before it was covered, so the report leaves it blank rather than inferring it.

Hiring meetings get easier

Instead of reading CVs out loud to each other, your team can play back the part of the interview you disagree about and decide together, with the same evidence in front of everyone.

What’s included

Everything you need for the first round, in one place

So you’re not juggling four different tools and a spreadsheet.

01

CV matching

Every application is checked against what the role actually needs, with the evidence behind each decision.

02

Custom interviews

Choose the questions, skills, length and scoring for each role.

03

Coding assessments

Give technical candidates practical tests with your own test cases, scored alongside the interview.

04

Recordings and transcripts

Watch or search any interview whenever your team is ready, not just when it happens.

05

Hiring analytics

Compare completion, skills and fit across all your candidates. Recommendations are there to help you, not to decide for you.

06

Integrity signals

Anything unusual during an interview is flagged for a person to look at. Nobody is rejected automatically.

Staying in control

You decide the limits, and Vera sticks to them

Customer Service Officer · intakeillustrative
Applications500 / 500 · closed at cap
Interviews120 / 132 · 12 held back
Cap raised from 400 to 500 · audit event written

Limits that actually hold

Once you reach the number of applications or interviews you set, intake closes. The limit is enforced by the system itself, not just a counter on a page.

Fair for everyone, not first come, first served

For big campaigns, Vera looks at the whole pool before inviting anyone, so the people who applied first don’t take every interview slot.

You approve the shortlist

Vera’s ranking is there to help you decide, and it’s labelled that way. Someone on your team approves who gets interviewed, and some capacity is kept back so you can add people yourself.

Everything is logged

Every time a limit changes, it’s recorded. How long data is kept and how decisions are reviewed are set out in your agreement with us, in line with Nigeria’s data protection law (NDPA).

Pricing

You only pay for work that’s finished

There’s no subscription. You buy a pack once, and an interview or CV screen is only counted when it’s finished. If something fails on our side, you get it back.
