Evidence over gut: what an AI recruiter should actually show you

A shortlist is only as good as the reasons behind it. Too many are built on a keyword match and a hunch.

The black box problem

Most AI matching hands you a ranked list and a confidence score, and asks you to trust it. But a number without a reason is just a nicer-looking guess. When you can't see why someone is a 94% match, you can't defend the choice — to your hiring manager, or to yourself.

Every match, with its receipts

Bunny, our AI recruiter, works the other way around. Every candidate it surfaces comes with the evidence: what they've done, where it's sourced from, and why it fits this specific role and moment. The score is the summary; the evidence is the substance. You should always be able to click into the why.

Evidence-led isn't slower. It's the difference between a shortlist you present and one you have to apologize for.
