Problem
Hiring senior, specialist, and executive roles often requires locating passive candidates who are not actively job searching, leading to long time‑to‑shortlist and high agency fees. Traditional sourcing methods rely on resumes and recruiter judgments, providing limited insight into candidate competencies and diversity.
Solution

The platform automatically generates personalized outreach messages at scale, prompting candidates to complete in‑depth video interviews focused on the hiring team’s competency requirements. Recorded assessments are reviewed by specialists, producing competency‑based shortlists within 3–6 weeks. This process delivers a predictable cost of 5% of the annual salary per role and offers a transparent comparison of candidates’ skills, experience, and diversity.
