Screening means a stack of PDFs and a running list of questions — has she led a team, how recent is that Python, does he speak German? Each one waits for a call, and the call waits for two calendars.
Ask a Candidate's CV Directly
A Twin CV link opens a chat about the candidate — no account, nothing to install.

The problem
A pile of CVs, many questions
The solution
Ask before you book the call
When a candidate sends you a Twin CV link, like twincv.com/their-name, you see their name, their photo and a chat. Ask in plain words, or start from one of the suggested questions. The candidate's AI twin answers from their CV — naming companies, projects and years — and talks about them in the third person. When the candidate's plan includes PDF download, a Download CV button gives you the file for your own records.
The problem
Can an AI oversell a candidate?
A chatbot built to impress would say yes to every question. That would be worse than a PDF: you'd only find out in the interview.
The solution
Only the CV — and honest gaps
The twin is instructed to answer only from the candidate's CV and never to invent experience, skills or dates. When the CV doesn't cover something — a salary expectation, a notice period — it says so in a sentence and suggests contacting the candidate directly. It can share the contact details the CV includes. Treat it as a fast way to read the CV, not as a reference check: like any AI, its wording can be imperfect, and the CV is the candidate's own account.
The problem
No time for another login
Portfolio sites that want you to sign up, apps to install, a password for each candidate — nobody creates an account just to read a CV.
The solution
Open the link and ask
No account, no install: the page opens in your browser, on a laptop or a phone, and you can ask up to 100 questions a day. If it says it isn't taking new questions, the candidate's monthly messages have run out — reach them another way. And write as you would in an email: on Standard and Premium, candidates can read the conversations their twin has had.
Good to know
How to use a twin link
- Open the link the candidate sent and ask your first question — or pick a suggested one.
- Follow up on what matters for the role: tools, years, scope, languages.
- Download the CV if the button is there, and contact the candidate for anything the CV doesn't say.
Twin CV is a tool for job seekers: there's no recruiter dashboard, candidate search or CV database — you meet a twin only when a candidate chooses to share it. Looking for a job yourself? Build your own CV by chat, free. More in The CV That Talks Back.
FAQ
Questions about twin links
Is there a Twin CV account for recruiters?
No. Twin CV is built for candidates: there's no recruiter dashboard, candidate search or CV database. You talk to a twin when a candidate shares their link, and you don't need to sign up for that.
Can the candidate see what I asked?
On the Standard and Premium plans, yes: candidates can read the conversations visitors had with their twin. On Free they can't. Either way, write as you would in an email to the candidate.
How reliable are the answers?
The twin answers only from the candidate's CV and says when the CV doesn't cover a question. It can't check whether the CV itself is accurate — like any CV, it's the candidate's own account — so confirm what matters in the interview.
Can I get the CV as a PDF?
If the candidate's plan includes PDF download, the page shows a Download CV button. If not, ask the candidate for the file — the twin can share the contact details their CV includes.
Why won't the page answer me?
The candidate may have switched the page off, or their monthly visitor messages may have run out — the page then says it isn't taking new questions. You may also have reached the limit of 100 questions a day. Try later, or reach the candidate another way.
