• Deal-tape depth

• Product vs coverage

  Product bankers and coverage bankers are scored separately. Rubrics honour the distinction.

• Boutique vs bulge

  Bulge-bracket process discipline and boutique deal breadth reward different signal — captured at intake.

• Analyst-class churn

  Two-and-out analyst classes mean CVs often understate real deal exposure. Rubrics look for transaction credit, not just tenure.

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

• Deal-tape rubric
• Product vs coverage separated
• Boutique vs bulge captured

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.
