An applicant screening platform for a UK staffing agency

Cutting manual CV screening time for a staffing agency with an MVP that triages applicants before a recruiter reviews them.

A staffing agency placing high volumes of candidates was losing hours each week to manual first-pass CV screening, time that recruiters could otherwise spend on the calls and placements that actually drive revenue.

The approach

We built a focused screening tool that parses incoming applications against a role's requirements and surfaces a ranked shortlist for a recruiter to review, rather than attempting to automate the hiring decision itself — the judgement stays with the recruiter, the triage is what gets automated.

What shipped

An applicant screening MVP integrated into the agency's existing intake process, cutting the time recruiters spent on first-pass review before shortlisting.

“Our recruiters spend their time talking to good candidates now, not reading every CV that comes in.”
