Screening and Shortlisting

We sift, interview and reference-check the applicants you already have, then return a shortlist worth your time.

If your own advert has brought in more applications than you can review, we take over the sifting. We read every CV against the criteria you set and hold short screening calls with promising applicants. Where needed, we check right-to-work documents and references, and we record why each person has or has not progressed.

You receive a ranked shortlist with clear notes, so interview decisions are faster and easier to justify. We agree the criteria and the number of candidates you want before we begin. Unsuccessful applicants hear back from us, which protects your reputation as an employer and saves your team a long round of emails.
