Problem
AI tools have made it easy to generate flawless CVs and applications, flooding hiring managers with high-volume, low-signal submissions. Traditional screening methods—job boards, AI screeners, and agencies—reward volume rather than accountability, leaving employers unable to verify who a candidate really is or who is willing to stake their reputation on an endorsement.
Solution
ExpertsCircle provides an endorsement layer for high-trust hiring, connecting UK employers with vetted domain experts who screen candidates for specific roles. Experts create structured, signed vouches that specify what they endorse, the evidence behind it, their confidence level, and where their endorsement ends. Hiring managers review one high-signal endorsement instead of a stack of CVs, and every step—from vouch to outcome—is recorded as an immutable, auditable record. The platform aligns incentives through a success-based fee model: employers pay only when they hire, and experts earn a share of that fee, making their reputation the currency at stake.
Target Audience
Primary customers are UK hiring managers and employers seeking expert-vetted candidates for high-trust roles, particularly in sectors like FinTech, payments, and banking where accountability and domain knowledge are critical.
