What makes this sector hard

  • Recruiter capacity

    Every recruiter has a ceiling on active searches. Our workspace absorbs the intake, scoring and ranking work so recruiters run more mandates without dropping quality.

  • Consistent quality across desks

    Different recruiters shortlist differently. A shared rubric per mandate keeps quality consistent across desks and hand-offs.

  • Client-ready output

    Shortlists arrive with evidence tied to the CV, ready to present. Recruiters spend less time formatting profiles and more time closing.

  • Multi-role demand support

    Concurrent mandates for the same client or vertical share intake artefacts and calibration, without merging their shortlists.

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 staffing agencies, these are the signals that carry weight:

  • One workspace per client mandate
  • Rubric per requisition, applied consistently
  • Human review before candidates go to client

Certifications and credentials that matter here

  • AIRS certifications
  • REC / APSCo qualifications (UK)
  • NPAworldwide

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.
