AI-supported resume scoring is quickly becoming a core part of modern hiring practices — yet misconceptions still surround how it works. Is it fair? Is it accurate? Or just another buzzword?
In this post, we break down what AI resume scoring really does, and debunk common myths to help you trust (and leverage) this technology more effectively.
What is AI Resume Scoring?
AI resume scoring uses machine learning models to analyze and rank CVs based on job relevance, skills, experience, and other predefined criteria. Unlike manual reviews that can be inconsistent or biased, AI evaluates every candidate by the same objective parameters.
At Persona Vision, our scoring engine evaluates CVs in under 5 seconds, helping recruiters focus only on top-matching candidates.
Common Myths — Busted
Myth #1: AI Just Looks for Keywords
❌ Reality: Modern systems go beyond keywords to understand context, role-fit, and career trajectory.
Myth #2: AI is Biased
❌ Reality: When trained ethically, AI can reduce bias — not amplify it. It ensures everyone is judged by the same rules.
Myth #3: It's Replacing Recruiters
❌ Reality: It’s not replacing humans — it’s helping them work faster and make smarter decisions.
