Frequently asked questions
Does StarmyCV replace my ATS?
No. It’s a validation layer that adds to your process: it collects the structured references and generates the report, without changing your current workflow.
How long does it take to set up a process?
Minutes. You paste in the job description, the system suggests skills and questions, and you adjust whatever you want before launching.
How do I know the person assessing is who they say they are?
Every assessor identifies through LinkedIn, which lets you verify who they are, where they worked and what professional relationship they had with the candidate.
Does the report carry my brand or StarmyCV’s?
Yours. The report you hand your client carries your firm’s branding, not ours.
