Read a candidate CV with AI
One click reads an uploaded CV and fills in skills, experience, past roles and a pitch summary - only the fields you have left empty.
Once a candidate has a CV uploaded, Jeanus can read it for you: one click and the AI fills in their skills, experience, past roles and a short pitch summary - so you are not retyping a CV into fields by hand.
Where the button is
Open a candidate at /candidates/<id> and find the CV read by AI card. If a CV is uploaded, you will see a ✦ Read CV with AI button. If not, upload one first - the card prompts you to.
What it does
- Click ✦ Read CV with AI. The button shows Reading… while it works.
- The AI reads the uploaded PDF and extracts the candidate's details.
- It writes back only the fields you have left empty - it never overwrites what you have already entered. Skills are the exception: new ones are merged in with what is there.
- You get a confirmation showing how many empty fields were filled, plus a summary, past roles, and any certifications, education and languages found.
What it fills in
Where the CV shows them: current role and company, years of experience, sector, seniority, engagement type (perm / contract), IR35 status, desired day rate or salary, LinkedIn URL, and skills. It also writes a 60-120 word pitch summary for a hiring manager, and stores past roles, education, certs and languages on the record.
Re-reading
After the first read the button becomes ✦ Re-read CV. Re-reading refreshes the summary and extraction from the current CV. It still only fills empty flat fields, so your edits are safe.
