Real scoring from a live mandate — candidate anonymised. Your brand, your voice, their decision.

The obvious part

Your clients want this.

An evidence-backed shortlist they can actually trust beats a stack of CVs in an email — every time.

Give it to them and you win more of their mandates.

Better matches, more hires that pay, and the repeat business that follows — off relationships you already have.

And you fill them from the candidates you already own.

Your database, scored and matched to each role — placed faster, presented sharper.

Same clients. Same candidates. More placements — no new headcount.

So the only question is how. Let's build it together.

What your client opens

Far above what reaches an employer's inbox.

Delivered as an interactive portal — your client's shop window into how you source. One branded link where every candidate is scored against the role, with the evidence behind it. Not an inbox jammed with half-relevant CV PDFs — a page they actually want to open.

Branded in your name

Your logo, your colours, your typeface and your firm name lead every screen — the hero, each candidate card, the charts, the buttons. It opens like an investment-bank brief, not a Gmail attachment with five PDFs stapled to it.

Served on your own link — yourfirm.career.studio — with a "Reply to your firm" button on every view.

Every candidate, scored on the role

Each candidate is rated 1–5 on every skill the role needs — must-have, nice-to-have and emerging — and each score is tied to the exact line in their CV that earns it. A radar chart and an overall match verdict sit on top, so fit is obvious in seconds.

Open the full skill-by-skill evidence beneath any candidate — the rationale and the CV quote behind every number.

Your verdict, in your voice

Every candidate carries a short "We say…" summary and a "Why we recommend an interview" note — anchored to their single strongest signal and why it matters for this role. The AI drafts it; your firm owns it.

Even a borderline candidate gets a credible, considered reason to meet them — never a thin "have a look".

The role, side by side

The job spec sits in a panel right beside the shortlist — scope, responsibilities, success metrics and the must / nice / emerging skills the candidates are scored against. Your client compares like for like without ever losing the brief.

Plus a full market brief below — comp benchmarks by location, peer companies and the cited sources behind them.

They mark who to interview

Your client flags who they want to meet right on the page, leaves shared notes for you and private notes for their own team — and you're alerted the instant they do. No "let me get back to you" black hole.

A side-by-side compare view lines up the ones they've flagged — the next call all but books itself.

Named or anonymous — your call

Share candidates anonymously — "Candidate A", no name, no current employer — and reveal full identity only once the client leans in. You decide exactly what's exposed, to whom, and when.

The raw CV never enters the share — there's no original sitting there to leak.

Why it works for you

You're not starting from zero.

You already have the two things this runs on. Career.Studio is the path from what you have to what your clients want.

What you have · 01

Your client relationships

Become a branded portal where every mandate arrives as a shortlist they trust — and ask you for again. The relationship deepens with every brief you return.

What you have · 02

Your candidate database

Becomes AI-scored, evidence-matched talent — ready to put in front of the right role, the moment it lands. The pool you already own starts working harder.

The payoff

More volume off the same base. More matches, more hires that pay, more repeat mandates — and more revenue per consultant, without adding a single head.

How we get there

From brief to branded shortlist.

01

Brief in

Structured intake captures what the client actually asked for — must-haves, deal-breakers, team context.

02

Scored & anonymised

The desk scores each CV against the role with evidence, and anonymises it in minutes — not an hour.

03

Shared in your brand

One link. The branded, side-by-side shortlist your client opens — and trusts.

04

Client marks interviews

They flag who to meet, right on the page. You're notified instantly and book the call.

And the facts hold up. Availability, notice, current role — confirmed by the candidate themselves, by text, before it ever reaches your client.
