1. About WorkAffina

WorkAffina is an AI-powered screening workspace for recruiters and hiring teams. WorkAffina:

  • extracts and structures information from CVs,
  • helps you filter and review applicants faster,
  • optionally generates factual summaries and insights, and
  • supports manual recruiter workflows such as shortlisting and outreach.

WorkAffina is not an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and does not:

  • automatically rank candidates,
  • make hiring decisions,
  • assess character or behaviour,
  • identify gaps or make assumptions, or
  • replace recruiter judgement.

All hiring decisions remain entirely the responsibility of the user.

2. Eligibility

  • be a business user (B2B use only),
  • have full authority to enter into agreements on behalf of your organisation,

We do not permanently store CVs unless your plan explicitly offers history retention.
