The problem

Hiring isn't hard because there aren't enough people. It's hard because there are too many.

400+applications on a single advertised role
15–25hours of your team's time, per hire
~$10ktypical agency fee, per placement
60+days to fill, while the seat stays empty

You post a role. You get hundreds of applications. You read maybe a tenth of them, phone-screen eight, and six of those waste the hour. Three weeks later you make an offer to someone you're not sure about — and you still don't know what you missed in the pile you never opened.

What you get

A shortlist of five to ten people, ready to interview, in seventy-two hours.

Already interviewed

Not a questionnaire. A recorded spoken conversation, with the candidate's consent.

Scored on five dimensions

And every score comes with the evidence that produced it.

Checked against the CV

What they said out loud, measured against what they wrote down.

Actually interested

They've seen the role and put their hand up. Not a database search.

The approach

Four things happen between your job description and your shortlist.

LAYER 01

We already know the market

Our platform reads new job postings across the region continuously, so we know who is hiring, for what, and how long roles have gone unfilled. That same pipeline tells us where the talent is concentrated.

LAYER 02

We match on meaning, not keywords

Candidates are scored against your brief on skills, experience, location and salary — then compared semantically, so a relevant person isn't missed because they used a different word for the same job.

LAYER 03

We interview them

A voice AI holds a real spoken conversation with each candidate, recorded on video with consent, tailored to the role family.

LAYER 04

We score, and show the evidence

The conversation is analysed across five dimensions. Every score is published with the candidate's own words and the timestamp where they said them.

Turnaround from signed brief to delivered shortlist: 72 hours.

Ranked against your brief, not against a keyword. The score blends skills, experience, location and salary fit — and the interview result moves people up or down it.

Every person on the list has seen your role and said yes. Nobody here is a maybe.

You swipe. The ones you want get a conversation opened with them immediately.

Illustrative — sample data, not a real candidate.

The part nobody else does

We don't ask you to trust the score. We show you where it came from.

Evidence · Communication I inherited a team of nine that had lost three supervisors in a year. I spent the first month doing shifts alongside them before I changed anything. ▶ 08:14 — jump to this moment

Anyone can give you a score. A score on its own is just someone's opinion with a number attached to it.

Every dimension here opens into the candidate's own words and the timestamp where they said them. You can jump into the recording and watch it yourself.

Which means when a hiring manager asks “why this person?”, you have an answer you can play back rather than defend.

Illustrative — sample data, not a real candidate.

The one that matters most

Sometimes what they wrote and what they said don't match.

On the CV5 years

Regional Manager, 2019–2024

In the interview~2 years

“about two, maybe two and a half”

Flagged · High severity

“I was there about two, maybe two and a half years before I moved across to the Dubai side.”

▶ 14:22 — jump to this moment

Nobody had to catch this. The system did.

One of the five dimensions compares what a candidate says out loud against what's written on their CV, and flags the gaps with the evidence attached.

So the question is: how would you normally catch that today?

Inside the product

Post a role, review candidates, talk to them. All in one place.

Rcrut employer app — Jobs screen showing a live posted role

Your roles, their status, and the candidates against each one — on your phone, not buried in an applicant tracking system nobody logs into.

Post a role in about two minutes. Review the shortlist as cards. Swipe the ones you want and a conversation opens with the candidate directly.

Your wider team gets their own seats at $4 per person per month, so hiring managers can review their own candidates without going through you.

The question everyone asks

“Where do the candidates come from?”

From a consumer app that people actually use to find work — not a CV database that was scraped once and left to rot.

Candidates browse and swipe roles daily. They build a full profile: skills, experience, education, projects, certifications, portfolio.

And critically, they volunteer for assessment. They sit AI voice interviews to stand out to employers, and take skill quizzes to put a verified score on their profile. Nobody makes them. They do it because it gets them hired faster.

That's why the people on your shortlist are interviewed and interested at the same time. It isn't a database — it's a queue.

A deadline that isn't ours

Nationalisation targets are the hardest sourcing problem in this market.

United Arab Emirates

Emiratisation — 31 December 2026

Companies with 50 or more staff must reach 10% Emiratis in skilled roles. Unfilled Emirati positions are penalised at AED 9,000 per month each — around AED 108,000 a year.

Companies with 20–49 staff in designated sectors carry their own targets.

Saudi Arabia

Nitaqat — the Yellow band is gone

Anyone previously Yellow is now Red, which stops work visas and closes off government tenders. Quotas now run profession by profession across 269 roles.

Since April 2026, a Saudi employee only counts toward the quota if the contract is documented on Qiwa.

We're not going to pretend to know your numbers — your team will. What we can tell you is how many candidates matching that brief exist today, before you spend anything.

Risk

You're not taking one.

Five or free

If we don't put at least five candidates in front of you who match the brief you signed off, you pay nothing.

Sixty per cent will talk

At least 60% of the candidates you choose to contact will agree to an interview, or that month is credited.

Ninety-day replacement

If someone you hire through us leaves within 90 days, we run the whole role again at no charge.

What we won't promise is that every person we send is the right hire — that depends on your interview and your offer as much as our shortlist. What we will promise is that they're real, they've been interviewed, and they want the job.

Getting started

Three roles. Thirty days. Agreed in advance what good looks like.
