HiReXL Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about AI resume screening, candidate matching, resume parsing, data privacy and getting started.
What is HiReXL?
HiReXL is AI recruiting software that turns your resumes into a searchable candidate database and matches candidates to any job description. Paste a job requirement and HiReXL ranks every resume by match score.
Is HiReXL an applicant tracking system (ATS)?
HiReXL is a lightweight resume screening and candidate matching tool rather than a full enterprise ATS. Many teams use it next to their ATS or CRM and export shortlists to CSV.
What resume formats does HiReXL support?
PDF, DOCX and TXT. You can add a whole folder at once or drag and drop files.
How does AI resume screening work?
HiReXL extracts skills, keywords and contact details from each resume into a keyword index. When you paste a job description it identifies the required skills, lets you star must-haves, and scores every candidate against them.
Can HiReXL find candidates who used different words for the same skill?
Yes. The skills library normalizes common variations and related terms so qualified candidates aren’t missed because of wording.
What happens when a candidate sends an updated resume?
HiReXL de-duplicates by email address and replaces the older resume, keeping your database current.
Can I export candidates?
Yes. Copy every shortlisted email in one click or export matches to CSV for your CRM, ATS or email campaign.
Is my candidate data secure?
Resumes are read in your browser and only extracted text is stored; original files stay on your device. Access requires an authorized sign-in.
Does HiReXL tailor resumes for job seekers?
HiReXL can align a resume’s wording with a job description’s keywords — truthfully — while keeping the original format and fonts. DOCX files are edited in place and PDFs are rebuilt as DOCX. See the ATS Resume Optimizer.
