The problem

Record applications. Roles still unfilled.

Vacancies are at their lowest since 2021, with 2.5 unemployed people chasing each one. A single role can draw up to 280 applications, and yet a third of employers report hard-to-fill vacancies. The problem isn't a shortage of candidates. It's finding the right one in the pile.

The pile grew. The hours didn't.

Application volume rose 93% in a year while the teams reading them shrank by around 14%. Something has to give, and what gives is the reading.

The wrong ones don't stay

More than 40% of employers see a new recruit resign within twelve weeks. Rushed screening doesn't save time; it just moves the cost to three months later.

Agencies priced for senior roles

A 15–20% commission makes sense on a £60k hire. On a £25k junior role it doesn't, so the roles that most need help get the least.

Shortlists you can't question

"Trust us, she's great" isn't a reason. When you can't see why a candidate was chosen, you can't challenge it, defend it, or explain it to the person you turned down.

Why we're different

A model that reshapes itself around every role

Most screening applies the same fixed filter to every job. Ours doesn't, because no two roles value the same things.

01
Calibrated to each role

The demands of the role adjust the model

A skill that's critical for one job counts double what it does for another. Each vacancy sets its own levers: the balance of attitude versus experience, and how much every individual skill matters, so the shortlist fits the role rather than a one-size-fits-all screen.

02
Built & priced for volume

Rigour where the pain is worst

A scientific, data-driven method aimed squarely at the roles that draw hundreds of applications, the kind commission-based agencies underserve because the fee is too small. We charge a fixed fee whatever the volume, so the roles that most need rigour finally get it.

Scientific, not gut-feel
A documented, repeatable scoring method, applying the same rigour to every applicant, every time.
Explainable by design
Every score breaks down into its evidence. You can defend a decision; a candidate can be told why.
Judgement on top
The method ranks; our team makes the call. You get the rigour of structured scoring and the sense-check of a recruiter.
How it works

Four steps, one clear shortlist

You stay in control the whole way. We do the reading.

Share the brief

Fifteen minutes to agree the role, the salary and what a strong candidate looks like.

We advertise & source

Your role goes out under your branding. Applications come to us, not to your inbox. With Screen, we skip this step and start from the applicants you already have.

We score & review

Every applicant is scored on nine weighted components, then every recommendation is checked before it goes any further.

You get the shortlist

Ranked, explained and yours to keep, with the reasoning behind every score.

What you receive

A shortlist you can actually interrogate

Not a list of names. A ranked assessment where every number traces back to its evidence.

A ranked shortlist

Every applicant scored 0 to 100 across two dimensions: experience and aptitude on one side, attitude and work-readiness on the other, weighted to the role.

The reasoning, not just the number

Each score breaks down into its components. You see exactly why the top candidate ranked where they did, and why others didn't.

A check on every call

No candidate is shortlisted or rejected by the score alone. Every recommendation is reviewed before it reaches you.

Answers for the people you don't hire

Any candidate can be told why. Most agencies can't offer that, and regulation is moving in that direction.

Services & fees

Fixed by salary band. Known before we start.

Placement from £2,895. No percentage. No commission. No surprise invoice at the end. We also offer standalone Shortlist and Screen services for employers who only need part of the process.

Built to be defensible

Scored hiring only works if you can explain it

Checked, not automatic

Every recommendation is reviewed. The score informs the decision; it never makes it.

A full audit trail

We keep component-level scores, not just a final number, so any decision can be reconstructed.

A right to explanation

Candidates can be told why they scored as they did, on request and in plain terms.

Data handled properly

Defined retention and deletion, and a plain-English privacy notice covering how scoring works.

Try it on one role

Send us your next entry-level vacancy and we'll run it through the whole process. You'll see exactly what you'd be buying, on a role that matters to you.
