What makes this sector hard

  • Function-specific evidence

    Recruiting, HRBP, comp & ben, DEI, L&D and people ops each need distinct signal. The rubric captures the specific function and scope the candidate actually owned.

  • Organisation stage and size

    Early-stage, scaleup and mature-enterprise people work look nothing alike. Stage and headcount context are captured in intake and used as filters.

  • Systems and operating model

    HRIS, ATS, payroll and comp systems are captured as structured signals so shortlists reflect the stack the hire will actually operate.

  • Leadership vs specialist calibration

    CPO, head of people and functional-lead searches reward different evidence to specialist hires. Rubrics adjust per level.

The evidence we score against

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

  • Function and scope rubric per role
  • Stage and headcount captured in intake
  • Systems and operating model as filters

Certifications and credentials that matter here

  • SHRM-CP / SHRM-SCP
  • CIPD
  • GPHR
  • AIRS certifications
  • Reforge People programs

What your shortlist looks like

  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.

Candidates stay invisible to you until we've reviewed them for your specific role, and contact details are released as a separate step.
