02  ·  What you get

Every person comes
with six things.

Not just a resume and a phone number. You get everything your hiring manager needs to decide if this person is worth an hour. We put it together before you see them.

01

The interview, recorded

A real conversation with one of our recruiters, not a summary of one. You hear people explain their own work in their own words, before you book any time.

02

A skills score

When we've run a technical round, you get a score for each skill you asked for. Our engineer also writes a short note: what this person is good at, what to ask about next, and whether we'd send them to a client again.

03

A background check

We check who they are, their right to work, their education, their past jobs, their references and their criminal record. They sign to allow it. You get the results before their first day.

04

A resume you can actually read

We put every resume in the same layout, so your team compares like with like. Contact details stay hidden until you ask for an interview.

05

When they can start

Notice period, earliest start date, and whether they can legally work there. We ask each person directly. We don't guess it from a resume.

06

Pay already agreed

We talk about money before you do. If someone wants more than you pay, you never see them. You don't lose a week finding out when you make the offer.

03  ·  How it works

Send one job. Get a short
list you can act on.

Four steps. Only two of them need anything from you.

01

You send us the job

Job title, location, budget, the skills you need, and which checks you want us to run. The 48-hour clock starts when you send it. You watch it in your account.

02

We find people and interview them

Our recruiters interview everyone against what you asked for. Anyone who doesn't pass never reaches you.

03

We can run your first technical round

Only if you want it. An engineer who does the same kind of work runs it, scores the skills you named, writes it up and sends you the recording.

04

You interview and decide. We check.

You run the interviews that matter to you. Once you've picked someone, we finish the background checks and send you the report before their first day.

48 hours

That's from sending us the job to seeing your first people. The interview recording comes with them. We don't just promise it.

✓Nothing to sign to get your first short list
✓One recruiter looks after you from start to finish
✓Tell us why someone is wrong and we change what we look for
✓The US and Canada, kept separate

04  ·  Ways we can work together

Four ways to hire.
The same checks behind all of them.

Pick the one that fits how you're hiring. The work we do before anyone reaches you is the same either way.

01

Contract hire

We employ  ·  you direct

We employ the person. We handle their contract, timesheets, tax, insurance and monthly billing. You get the work done and one invoice. This suits a fixed piece of work, or extra hands without adding to your headcount.

Best whenYou need someone for a set piece of work, or you want extra hands without creating a permanent job.
02

Permanent hire

Direct hire  ·  onto your payroll

We find them, interview them, test their skills and check their background. Then they join you as your own employee. You still run your own interviews after ours. We stay involved through the offer, the paperwork and the first few weeks.

Best whenThe job is permanent and you want the person on your team, not on ours.
03

Try first, hire later

Try first  ·  convert later

They start on a contract with us. Once you're both happy, they move onto your payroll. We agree the terms of that move at the start, so nobody has to argue about it later.

Best whenThe job is new, or you want to see how someone works before making it permanent.
04

We interview, you decide

Your pipeline  ·  our interviewers

You already have applicants. What you don't have is time. We run the interviews and the first technical round using your rules, record it all, score it, and hand back a ranked short list. We're not placing anyone. We're doing the reading.

Best whenYou have too many applicants, not too few. One open job, 200 people, and nobody free to call them.

05  ·  What we mean by screened

Every agency says
“screened”. Here's ours.

So here is exactly what ours covers, and what you get from it. Compare it with whoever you use now.

The first interview

30 – 45 minutes  ·  recorded  ·  every candidate
  • 01What they really did on each project. What they built, what was theirs, and what the rest of the team did.
  • 02How deep they go on the two or three skills you named. We talk it through. It isn't a quiz.
  • 03Whether they can legally work there, and whether they'd need you to sponsor them. We ask straight out.
  • 04Notice period and genuine earliest start date.
  • 05The pay they want, and whether that shifts for the right job.
  • 06Where else they're interviewing and how far along they are, so you know how much time you have.
  • 07How well they explain technical work to someone who wasn't there.

You get the recording and a short written summary. If someone fails this stage, you never see them.

The technical interview

45 – 60 minutes  ·  recorded  ·  only if you want it
  • 01Run by an engineer or senior analyst who does the same kind of work, not by a recruiter reading questions off a sheet.
  • 02Built around the skills you said you must have, so it tests your job and not a generic one.
  • 03Real work. They walk through a genuine problem, read code, explain a choice they made and defend it.
  • 04Scored on three to five named skills, each out of five. Everyone is marked on the same scale.
  • 05A written note from the interviewer: what they're good at, the one thing to dig into next, and a clear yes or no.
  • 06Your team can send us questions to ask, and can watch the recording before deciding on round two.

You get the recording, the scores and the note. You start at round two instead of round one.

06  ·  Background checks

Checked before they
walk through your door.

A licensed screening company runs the checks. Each person signs to allow it, and you get the results before their first day. You see a clear yes or no for each check. The documents behind it stay with us.

✓Identity

We check their photo ID against the name on every application and document in their file.

✓Right to work

We confirm they can legally work in the country the job is in. We also confirm whether they would need sponsoring, and by when.

✓Education

We confirm the degree, subject and year with the school or university itself. Not a photocopy of a certificate.

✓Employment history

We contact every employer on the resume to confirm the dates, the job title and why they left. If dates are missing or overlap, we tell you. We don't tidy it up.

✓Professional references

We speak to two people who actually managed them. You get what those people said, not one line saying the references were fine.

✓Criminal record

We check as far as the job and the local law allow. If something shows up that needs explaining, they get to explain it before it reaches you.

We only run checks after someone signs for that exact job  ·  Results go to one company, for one hiring decision  ·  We keep reports under our data policy and delete them on time

07  ·  What it costs you

Nothing until you hire.

There's no deposit, no subscription, and no charge to see people. The interviews, the recordings, the technical rounds and the background checks are all free. That work is how we earn the hire. It never shows up on your bill.

While you're deciding
$0

Sending us a job, looking at profiles, asking to meet someone, the interview and its recording, the first technical round, and the background checks. All of that happens before you commit to anything, and none of it costs you a penny.

If you hire nobody, you owe nothing.
Contract
We run the payroll

We employ the person. You get one hourly rate that covers everything, billed for the hours worked. Our cut is inside that rate, so there's no extra fee. Timesheets, tax and insurance are ours to sort out.

One bill a month. Nobody added to your headcount.
Full-time
A percentage of
first-year salary

We bill once, after the person starts. You pay nothing when you make the offer, or when they accept, or if they never turn up. The fee follows someone starting work, not signing a piece of paper.

We agree the rate in writing before we start.

08  ·  Request candidates

Tell us who you need.

One form. It creates your Client Portal account and tells us who you need, so there is nothing to fill in twice. We review every company before opening access — usually within one working day — and there is nothing to pay to find out what we can do.

What happens next

  1. We create your account as soon as you send this. It stays closed until we've read it.
  2. A person reads it and replies within one working day. Not an automatic email.
  3. A 20-minute call to agree the job, the budget and what a good hire looks like to you.
  4. We open your account, your job goes live, and the 48-hour clock starts.

Why access isn't instant

Making the account takes a second. Opening it takes a conversation. Somebody here has to approve you before you can see candidate profiles. That keeps your competitors out, and it protects the people whose details sit behind that login.

We only share recordings and checks if the candidate signs to allow it  ·  A licensed screening company runs the checks
