How we work with candidates

The full picture. A fair assessment. A real answer.

Every role we bring you comes with the full picture, and every conversation is about work you have actually done. You will know where you stand at each stage, and you will get a real answer at the end.

Before you start

Everything you need to decide whether the role is worth your time.

  • The mandate: why the role exists and what it is for
  • The compensation range
  • What the role must accomplish
  • The working environment
  • The complete interview plan

How you are assessed

Structured conversations and work-based exercises about what you have built, led and delivered. Using AI is fine: you explain what you asked it to do, what you checked and which decisions were yours.

They didn't act like using AI was cheating; I had to explain what I asked it to do, what I checked, and which decisions were mine. I mean, fair enough!

Identity verification

Before you reach a client's shortlist, you complete a short identity check: document validation, a face match and a liveness check. You are told about it before it begins.

How your data is handled: Candidate Privacy

Where you stand

Your private Candidate Workspace shows your progress, interviews and documents, and lets you message us directly. We update you at every stage and close the loop when a process ends.

I didn't get the job, and I'd still say it was one of the better processes I've been through. They told me where things stood, called when the timing changed, and gave me an actual answer at the end.
