Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.
Avlo runs the stages of hiring, from screening and clarification through assessment, interview and scheduling, and feeds every one of them into a single candidate intelligence picture. From the moment a candidate applies to the moment they are sat in front of your hiring manager, Avlo handles the bit in between, and keeps one live verdict current as it goes.
Every CV. Proper assessment. In seconds.
Avlo reads every application against your job requirements — not a keyword list. It surfaces what's relevant, notes what's missing, and returns a clear verdict with an explanation you can actually use.
Five suitability levels, colour-coded for quick scanning. Every verdict backed by a written assessment and a breakdown of strengths and gaps.
- Full text analysis against role-specific criteria
- Plain-English verdict with written rationale
- Itemised strengths and potential gaps
- Consistent standard across every application
- Name, school, and postcode-blind by design
Post once. Apply anywhere. Screen everything.
Every job in Avlo gets a branded apply link you can drop into any job board, email, or social post. Candidates land on a clean, employer-branded page — with key requirements surfaced upfront so only the right people apply.
Source tracking tells you exactly where your best candidates are coming from. Every application feeds straight into Avlo for screening — no manual uploads, no inbox management.
- Branded apply page — your logo, your job, your tone
- Key requirements surfaced as a fit checklist
- Works on Indeed, Reed, LinkedIn, Totaljobs — anywhere
- Source tracking per job board link
- RTW, salary, and notice period captured upfront
- CV uploaded directly — straight into the screening queue
Borderline? Ask — don't reject.
When Avlo identifies a candidate who might be a strong fit but has ambiguities on their CV — an unclear job title, an unexplained gap, a skill that's implied but not stated — it doesn't reject them. It sends a personalised message asking exactly the right follow-up questions.
When the candidate replies, Avlo re-evaluates their application. If the answers resolve the concerns, the verdict updates — often to Highly Recommended. You see everything: the original screening, the questions, the reply, and the updated verdict.
- Personalised message via WhatsApp or email — not a generic form
- Seniority-calibrated — brief for junior roles, more probing for senior ones
- Automatic re-evaluation on reply
- Via clarification badge shows the full journey
- Correspondence thread viewable in the app
Meet candidates where they actually are.
Email is fine. WhatsApp gets answered. When a candidate needs a follow-up, Avlo sends the clarification via WhatsApp — with a simple Yes/No consent step first, then the questions delivered as a conversation.
Candidates reply in their own time. Avlo picks up the response, re-evaluates the application, and updates the verdict — exactly as it does via email. No extra work for you, higher response rates, faster pipeline movement.
- Opt-in consent template sent first — fully compliant
- Same clarification questions, delivered via WhatsApp
- Automatic re-screen on reply
- Falls back to email if no phone number provided
- Channel set at org level, overridable per job
- Included in both plans — no add-on fees

Structured assessments. Generated, sent, scored.
Move shortlisted candidates straight into a written assessment generated for the role — not a stock test. Avlo drafts exercises against the competency framework you defined when the job was created, then personalises a probe or two from each candidate's CV before sending.
When a candidate submits, Avlo scores their responses against those same competencies and surfaces the breakdown in their candidate profile alongside their CV verdict. Bulk-send from the pipeline and review results in one place.
- AI-generated assessments tailored to the role's competency framework
- Multiple exercise types — written responses, structured tasks, in-tray scenarios
- CV-personalised probes added per candidate
- AI scoring with strengths, gaps, and competency breakdown
- Bulk send to shortlisted candidates from the pipeline
- Results surfaced inline on the candidate profile
Interview booking. Without the email tennis.
Add slots, share a single link, and let candidates self-book. Avlo handles the confirmations, the calendar attachments, and the decline flow when somebody can't make any of the times. Hiring managers stay in the loop without managing it.
It plugs straight into the candidate pipeline — invite to interview from the candidate profile and the booking link goes out with the role and slot details already populated.
- Slot-based availability — drag to set, candidates pick from what's free
- Self-booking via personal link, no logins or apps for the candidate
- Automated confirmation emails with calendar invites attached
- Decline flow when a candidate can't make any slot — alerts you to follow up
- Hiring manager availability requests + post-interview feedback loop
- Integrated into the candidate pipeline — one click from "shortlisted" to "booked"
Auto-generated questions. A debrief drafted within the hour.
For live interview rounds, Avlo generates role-specific questions for each candidate, then transcribes the conversation as it happens, so your interviewer can focus on the discussion instead of taking notes.
When the interview ends, Avlo drafts the feedback for review, attributed to what was actually said, and ready within the hour. Your interviewer edits and signs it off rather than starting from a blank page.
- Role-specific questions generated for each candidate
- Live transcription, so the interviewer focuses on the conversation
- Draft feedback attributed to the transcript, ready within the hour
- Every score traceable to what the candidate actually said
One picture that moves as the candidate does.
Every stage writes back to the same candidate file. Screen, clarify, assess, interview and feedback each add signal, and Avlo weights them into a single live verdict that updates as the candidate moves, rather than a first impression that goes stale.
The picture is role-weighted, so the criteria that matter most for this role count for more. You see confirmed strengths, the open questions still outstanding, and a plain-English narrative of how and why the verdict moved.
- One candidate file and one live verdict, updated at every stage
- Role-weighted criteria, confirmed strengths and open questions
- Plain-English narrative of how and why the verdict moved
- Dated audit trail behind every change
Daniel is an ACA-qualified accountant with nine years post-qualification, most recently Financial Controller at a £40m-turnover group. The picture opened at Clarifying, when a brief CV understated his team, then firmed as clarification and the written assessment confirmed group-level month-end ownership…
References handled. Verified. Flagged if something doesn't add up.
When you're ready to make an offer, Avlo runs the reference check for you. Your candidate nominates their referees and provides consent on their behalf — then Avlo contacts each one directly, by email, asking exactly what you need to know: job title, employment dates, reason for leaving, and whether they would rehire.
When the responses come back, Avlo compares them with what the candidate told you. A start date that's off by two months. A job title that doesn't quite match. If there's a material discrepancy, you see it flagged — clearly, with the specific difference noted — before you commit. Results are downloadable as a clean report and held securely until automatically purged.
- Candidate nominates referees and provides per-referee consent
- Avlo emails each referee on your behalf — no chasing required
- Covers job title, employment dates, reason for leaving, and rehire eligibility
- Automatic follow-up reminders to non-responding referees
- Responses cross-checked against what the candidate stated
- Material discrepancies flagged for your review before offer
- Downloadable reference report per candidate
- Securely held and automatically purged at end of retention period
Privacy by design.
Not afterthought.
Avlo is built for UK recruitment teams. Every decision about how we handle candidate data — where it's stored, how long we keep it, and how AI verdicts are formed — was made with GDPR compliance and fairness as the starting point.
That includes explainable AI verdicts, human oversight at every stage, name and postcode-blind screening, and 12-month auto-deletion of candidate data. No black boxes. No manual chasing.
