We score every applicant against what your role actually needs, rank them, and show the reasoning. Fixed fee. No commission.
Vacancies are at their lowest since 2021, with 2.5 unemployed people chasing each one. Applications per role have more than doubled since 2022 — and yet a third of employers still can't fill a vacancy. That isn't a shortage of candidates. It's a failure to find the right one in the pile.
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.
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.
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.
"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.
Most screening applies the same fixed filter to every job. Ours doesn't — because no two roles value the same things.
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, not a one-size-fits-all screen.
A scientific, data-driven method aimed squarely at the roles that draw hundreds of applications — the ones 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.
You stay in control the whole way. We do the reading.
Fifteen minutes to agree the role, the salary and what a strong candidate looks like.
Your role goes out under your branding. Applications come to us, not to your inbox.
Every applicant is scored on fourteen weighted factors, then a person checks each recommendation.
Ranked, explained, and yours to keep — with the reasoning behind every score.
Not a list of names. A ranked assessment where every number traces back to its evidence.
Every applicant scored 0–100 across two dimensions — experience and aptitude on one side, attitude and work-readiness on the other — weighted to the role.
Each score breaks down into its components. You see exactly why the top candidate ranked where they did, and why others didn't.
No candidate is shortlisted or rejected by the score alone. A person reviews every recommendation before it reaches you.
Any candidate can be told why. Most agencies can't offer that — and regulation is moving in that direction.
No percentage. No commission. No surprise invoice at the end.
