This can be things like eye contact, tone, confidence in your voice and body language, keywords and phrases. I'm not 100% sure about this software package but similar offerings have the option to let current employees take the assessments to get a base line idea of what the ideal person is, then comapre that against your test and video assessments to determine how closely you match up to people currently employed in the same role. Then the recruiters will get a rating for your potential... it really can be that impersonal
OR it could let everyone do CV, tests and videos, then get an overall score. A lot of this functionality is optional for the company though. A quick way to test is to submit a CV full of junk text.
I think you're right - just uploaded a junk CV and completed the application indicating the correct answers, and rather than invite me to assessments or present me with a link to the dashboard, the email says "we'll be back in touch soon"... sounds like they're doing as you say, scanning the CV, and flagging anything abnormal for human review.
Yikes - scratch that... I'm through to the tests! lol. The CV is literally just "John Smith CV"...
