PRE-VERIFIED SKILLS

Remember when that candidate who claimed to have "advanced Excel skills" then asked what a spreadsheet was? We test skills properly, so you meet people who can actually do what they say.

THE GOOD STUFF

Features that actually make a difference to your hiring process.

ROLE-BASED ASSESSMENTS

Customer service talent handle angry virtual customers. Analysts work with real data that doesn’t behave nicely. They show they know what they’re doing, before they get the job.

Profiles show skills and values, not selfies. Each talent is identified by a random string of characters, so you pick the best person for the job, not the best headshot.

Chat with candidates right inside the platform. There’s no need for messy email chains anymore. Ask questions, get answers and keep it all in one place until you’re ready for interview.

Tell Jade (our virtual AI recruiter, who doesn’t take commission) what you’re looking for, from locations to values, and she’ll line up a shortlist of perfect candidates for you, in the time it takes for you to make a cuppa.

SIMPLE PRICING

No hidden fees. No surprise charges. Pricing designed with you in mind.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What types of roles can I post?

Anything entry-level to junior level, so roles for people with 0-4 years of experience. Think positions where you’d normally write “no experience necessary, training provided” then secretly hope they already know the basics.

You’re matched with talent as soon as you post a role. Once you’ve shortlisted them and exchanged details, they’ll enter your own hiring process

Our subscriptions are simple. Monthly plans renew automatically every month  and you can cancel any time- your plan will run until the end of that month. Annual plans renew once a year. Just let us know at least 30 days before renewal if you’d like to cancel.

So you can focus on skills, not anything else. Hire the best person, not the best CV.
