How Recagn works
Recagn is candidate screening software for recruitment agencies. It drafts a rubric from the client's brief, interviews and scores candidates against it, and you decide.
Updated November 2026
Create a requirement
Recagn turns a pasted client brief into a Requirement, and flags what the brief leaves out instead of guessing.
Paste the client's job description. Add what it leaves out, like the client wants someone who has run on-call. Then ask Recagn to draft the Rubric. The model takes about thirty seconds to think, and we've cut that wait here. What comes back is a draft: hard gates, scored criteria and interview questions. Nothing has gone to a candidate.

Lock the rubric
Recagn drafts the Rubric, and nothing counts until you lock it.
Hard gates decide who can't pass. Scored criteria say what counts, and each one carries a Theme Key. Edit any of it. When it's right, you lock it. Locking is your call. After that, any change makes a new version, and every score names the version it was scored against.

Bring candidates in
Recagn brings candidates in two ways: upload the CVs you already have, or share an Apply Link.
Make an apply link for each job board, so you can see where applicants come from. Candidates open the link, upload a CV and confirm their details and consent. Nobody is contacted until you confirm. You see the application, and you choose Confirm and invite, or reject. Already have CVs? Add them one by one, or upload a batch. Parsing carries on in the background.

Sourcing
Recagn ranks your Candidate Database against the locked Rubric before any outreach goes out.
Every CV is read against your locked Rubric and ranked. Open one and you get the match score, and the evidence behind it. Each criterion is marked Supported, Gap or Unknowable, so a gap shows as a gap. Prefer one at a time? Deck mode takes you through the pool, and you approve and invite, or skip.

Interview
Recagn interviews each candidate by text, voice or video, at a time they choose.
This is the candidate's side. They're told that AI helps evaluate their answers, and that they can ask for a human review at any point. Same questions for everyone, answered when it suits them, in their own words.

Decide
Every Recagn score cites its evidence, and you make the call.
Start the day on what needs you. Open a candidate and Recagn recommends: here, a Maybe, with the reasons. Recagn never rejects. You approve it, then set the Disposition yourself. If you disagree, Override, pick the bucket, and give a reason.

Report to the client
Recagn gives your client one link to the evidence, and the client needs no login.
When you're ready, publish a report. You choose whose contact details the client sees. Copy one link, and set when it expires. Your client opens it without an account. They see the scores, and the interview evidence beside each one. Not a pile of PDFs.

Questions people ask first
Do candidates need an account?
No. A candidate opens the Apply Link or the interview link, uploads a CV or answers the questions, and confirms their details and consent. Recagn asks them to create no account.
What does the client see?
One link to a report, with no client login: the scores, and the interview evidence beside each one. You choose whose contact details the client sees and when the link expires.
What does it cost to try?
Nothing to start: Recagn's Free plan needs no card. Free’s first 30 days are the Welcome grant, once per Recruiter: 2 Active Requirements, 300 Match Assessments and 10 Evaluation Credits, in place of the Free allowance.
How long does a requirement take to set up?
A few minutes. Paste the client's brief and add what it leaves out, and Recagn drafts the Rubric in about thirty seconds. You edit it and lock it when it's right.
