I spent $0 testing @Curriculoai, a free AI hiring tool that scores resumes against a job.
It ranked my 5 test resumes in exactly the right order. Then it told me my remote job "requires on-site work", and its "Enhance with AI" button deleted my salary line.
Here's what works and what doesn't.
Disclosure: free Starter plan, signed up with Google, no card. No bonus or referral credits. $0.
What I tested
Easy: create a job from my own post. About 1 min 20 s, $0
Typical: upload 5 made-up PDF resumes and check scores. First scores in about 2 min, all 5 in about 5 min, $0
Hard: catch a keyword stuffer, score a Spanish resume fairly, answer a question about candidates. $0
What it does well
→ Right order: 92, 90, 65, 32, 2, same as my own ranking
→ Caught the keyword stuffer (32) and scored the Spanish resume fairly (90)
→ Free plan is real: 1,000 candidates, no card
What it does badly
→ Says my remote job requires on-site work, and calls it remote-first in the same summary
→ "Enhance with AI" dropped my salary and added Git and CI/CD
→ Added CI/CD as a qualification, then marked everyone down for it
→ "Screening invite sent" on 2 people with no email. I sent nothing
→ No CSV import for applicants
→ Toolbar archive button did nothing, twice
→ List didn't refresh: one score only showed after a reload
Pricing as listed
Starter: $0, free forever, up to 1,000 candidates
Pro: $50/mo, 10,000 candidates
Scores
Job setup 6/10
Resume scoring 7/10
Bulk CSV import 3/10
Pipeline and AI extras 4/10
Verdict 5.5/10
Use it for a free first-pass ranking of a pile of PDF resumes for one role.
Skip it if you need CSV imports, reliable invite emails, or remote-aware screening.
What I'd fix first
→ Read remote vs on-site from the job itself
→ Only show "invite sent" when an email went out
→ Keep salary and requirements in AI rewrites
→ Add CSV import for applicants
Tip: write your own job post, skip the AI rewrite, and delete any qualification it adds that you didn't ask for. It scores every candidate against them.
