Glossary
The terms that come up in AI-assisted screening, defined without the sales gloss.
Evidence-backed scorecard
A candidate rating where each score links to the specific transcript quote or task output it was derived from.
Adaptive interview
An interview whose next question is chosen from the candidate's previous answer, rather than read from a fixed script.
Bulk resume processing
Screening a batch of CVs uploaded together as a CSV or Zip, all scored against one job description in a single pass.
Integrity monitoring
Signals collected during an interview (tab switching, voice match, continuous video) used to flag sessions for review.
VEDA
HRFY's AI interviewer. It runs the conversation, asks follow-ups based on what the candidate says, and produces a scored, evidence-linked report.
Screening call
A short AI-run voice conversation early in the funnel that confirms basics like availability, notice period and role fit before anyone spends time on a full interview.
Resume parsing
Reading a CV into structured fields (roles, dates, skills, education) so it can be matched and scored instead of read one at a time.
Job-fit score
A single number showing how closely a candidate matches one specific job description, always traceable back to the evidence behind it.
Structured interview
Every candidate for a role is assessed against the same criteria in the same order, so scores can be compared rather than just felt.
Human-in-the-loop
A recruiter reviews and makes the final call. HRFY scores and ranks, it does not reject candidates on its own.
Psychometric assessment
Structured measurement of behavioural traits and communication style, used alongside skills evidence rather than instead of it.
Time-to-hire
Elapsed time from a role opening to an accepted offer. The metric most affected by screening and scheduling delay.
