Why Us

Recruitment screening, done properly.

We are specialists who write hundreds of job ads a year and know what gets results. You get a proven process, a flat fee, and full control of the final decision.

We are specialists

Hundreds of job ads written every year. We know what attracts the right applicants and what filters out the rest.

A proven process

A 95% success rate delivering quality shortlists, with one consistent method for every role.

One flat fee

No commissions and no percentage-of-salary surprises. You know the cost before we start.

You keep control

Skip the high agency fees, typically 8-20% of salary, without compromising on quality. You interview and decide.

What employers can count on

The same dependable process behind every role we screen.

Applicants receive our screening email and SMS within 1 hour of applying (Mon to Fri, 8am to 6pm).

Qualified applicants are referred to you by day 4.

If you do not find someone suitable to interview, we run the screening again at no extra cost (you cover advertising only).

One consistent process for every role, from $60k to $250k+.

What that looks like in practice

Different industries, same problem: finding the right people without the agency runaround.

Optional add-on: Zoom applicant presentations

Want a sense of someone's personality and presentation before you interview? We run and record a brief Zoom meeting with shortlisted candidates so you can assess communication and cultural fit ahead of time. Ideal for roles where personality is key.
