• Portfolio parsing

  Portfolios beat resumes. Rubrics capture named projects, role played, craft depth and shipped surface.

• Craft specialisation

  Interaction, visual, research, systems and content design are distinct — separated in scoring.

• Product vs agency

  Agency polish and in-house shipping-cadence discipline reward different signal.

• Portfolio ghost-work

  Team projects can overstate individual contribution. Rubrics look for the specific role played on each shown project.

Every candidate is scored against the role's rubric, and every score points back to a specific line in the CV. For design & creative, these are the signals that carry weight:

• Portfolio-based rubric
• Craft specialisation captured
• Product vs agency separated

1. A ranked set of candidates, each with a score and the evidence behind it.
2. Eligibility checks resolved before the candidate reaches you — right to work, credentials, location model.
3. Salary expectation against your band, stated plainly, before you invest interview time.
4. One decision per candidate: advance, hold or decline, reversible for a short window.
