About us
A shortlist you do not have to re-check
Most hiring time is spent filtering. Reading CVs that overstate, chasing references that do not answer, and interviewing people who were never going to clear the bar. We do that work once, up front, for every candidate in the pool — so the profiles you receive have already survived it.
What we check
Every profile passes the same 4 checks. None of them is optional, and none is skipped when we are busy.
01
Verified
Identity and work history are checked against documents and employers — not taken from the CV. A profile that cannot be verified does not enter the pool.
02
Tested
Candidates complete a skills assessment in the discipline they would be hired for, and carry the score with them. You see it before you decide whether to interview.
03
Matched
Our engine scores every verified profile against your specific brief — skills, seniority, market, constraints — and ranks them, with the reasons shown.
04
Reviewed
A person reads the ranked list, including the bottom of it, and signs off on everyone who goes forward. Nothing reaches you unread.
Where we stand on automated screening
Screening models trained on a company's past hires reproduce that company's past blind spots. If the last twenty engineers all came from three universities, a model that learns from those hires quietly ranks a fourth university lower — not because those candidates are weaker, but because the training data never gave them a chance.
So ours ranks and never rejects. It orders a queue; it does not empty one. A named person reads the full list, samples the bottom band, and is accountable for everyone who goes forward and everyone who does not.
If we cannot explain to a candidate the part a system played in a decision that affected them, that system does not get to make the decision. Any candidate can ask, and we will answer.
What we will not claim
We are new. We can tell you exactly what we do to every profile, because that is a process we control and you can audit it. We are not going to quote you a placement rate, an average time-to-hire or a retention figure, because we do not yet have enough placements behind us for those numbers to mean anything.
Ask any agency quoting you those figures how many searches they are drawn from, and over what period. It is a fair question and the answer is informative.
What we will give you is the pool — 100,000+ profiles, each verified and tested — and a process you can check. When we have a track record worth quoting, it will appear here with the sample size next to it.
Where we hire
We place candidates across these markets. Salary benchmarking and candidate availability are maintained separately for each.
