FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a "variable"?

A variable is an attribute we score each resume on, such as relevant qualifications, experience with the required skills, or writing quality. You choose them (on most tiers) and set how important each one is from 1 to 5.

What do the plans include?

Plans differ by how many resumes you can send and how many variables you can score. See the pricing page for a side-by-side comparison.

What files can I upload?

PDF, Word (.doc or .docx), TXT or RTF resumes, up to 10 MB each. Each tier has a maximum number of resumes per batch. See the FAQ & help page for more.

How fast will I get results?

Your ranked report is emailed to you, usually within 1 business day after you upload. Larger batches can take longer; we'll email you if there's a delay. Contact us for rush turnaround.

How does the free tier work?

5 resumes, 5 variables: upload up to 5 resumes; we use 3 Basic (Relevance & Tailoring) variables, you choose 2 more from the same list, and we rank your candidates on them, so you can see how Expolious works before buying.

Do you make hiring decisions?

No. Our rankings are decision support. We score job-related attributes only; the final decision is always yours.

What are the interview questions?

Every ranking, on every tier including Free, includes 5 tailored follow-up questions for each of your top 5 candidates. They're based on each resume and the role, to help you confirm job-related skills and experience. Avoid questions about health, family, or reasons for time away from work. They cover job-related topics only, and the hiring decision is always yours.

Is my data private?

Resumes are used only to prepare your report and are not shared or sold.
