CUSTOMER VOICE

BEFORE CVVIZ
A fast-growing market exposed the limits of a data-storage-first recruitment stack.
RED Recruitment progressed from blog posts and manually forwarded CVs to a combined ATS and CRM. Near the end of the pandemic, the volume of job seekers and vacancies boomed, and the team found its existing tools lacked the speed, intelligence and intuition required for scale.
EARLY PROCESS
Applications arrived without searchability
Job ads began as blog posts, while most CVs were forwarded manually through email and could not be searched reliably.
EXISTING STACK
The ATS and CRM mainly stored data
The system improved storage, but RED Recruitment still needed interoperability, reporting and smarter functions.
SCALING PRESSURE
Volume grew faster than the workflow
As candidates and vacancies boomed, the team needed to handle more data while maintaining GDPR compliance and information security.
“We found ourselves on a motorway running with a Vespa motorcycle. Comparison is very relevant because not only we needed to handle big data and interoperate it with some smart automations but we also had to guarantee GDPR compliance and information security while scaling up.”

THE CONNECTED WORKFLOW
CVViZ put attraction, collaboration and GDPR work under one umbrella.
The team chose CVViZ to reduce fragmented recruiting activity and give recruiters, hiring managers, agencies and candidates a more connected experience.
CHALLENGE 01
Too few applicants
RED Recruitment was receiving fewer resumes and job applications than it needed.
CVVIZ RESPONSE
Post jobs to 2,000+ sites
CVViZ connects with more than 2,000 paid and free job-posting sites and supports SEO-optimized job postings.
CHALLENGE 02
Complex stakeholder collaboration
Recruiters, hiring managers and candidates lacked a seamless shared experience, making alignment slow and time consuming.
CVVIZ RESPONSE
One platform for every stakeholder
Companies, recruiters, hiring managers and agencies can share resumes, schedule interviews and track feedback in CVViZ ATS.
CHALLENGE 03
Manual GDPR processing
Candidate consent management consumed recruiter time and slowed client delivery.
CVVIZ RESPONSE
Automated GDPR activity
The CVViZ GDPR toolkit automates compliance-related activity in a few clicks.
WHY CVVIZ
Screening intelligence plus the ability to operate daily recruiting work inside the ATS.
RED Recruitment’s consultants wanted CV screening features, in-document search, OCR recognition and a platform that could connect those capabilities with a smarter screening process.
“Some of them coming from bigger companies like me were very keen also on having the ‘in document’ search feature and OCR recognition. when we started to search for these features, we immediately realized that CVVIZ was a great tool to not only have both features but bridge them with a smart screening process. We registered for a demo and we liked it immediately.”

AI RESUME SCREENING
A competitive advantage when candidate volume requires faster, more focused review.
The team invested time in understanding intelligent screening and then began seeing strong benefits, especially in high-volume markets.
- Intelligent screening connected to the recruiting workflow
- Useful in markets with higher applicant volume
- Screening activity available within the ATS
“The intelligent resume screening feature is a great competitive advantage.
Initially, we had to train ourselves to understand it better but then we started to have great benefits. Screening is often an undervalued task in our business for countries with workforce shortages. But when it comes to markets like Italy, UK, and Spain, it’s a great advantage.”
Andrea FonsmortiCEO EUROPE
CUSTOMER SUPPORT
