➔ Their CV had gaps.
➔ No fancy degrees.
➔ Not a perfect match on paper.
But one thing made the difference: our process.
We pre-screened them, ran technical assessments, and uncovered skills that the CV missed entirely.
In the interview, they:
Gave real examples of solving tough problems.
Showed a relentless drive to learn.
Spoke about leadership in ways I didn’t expect.
Now?
They’ve not only excelled in their role, but they’ve brought in some of the most innovative ideas our clients seen.
Here’s what I’ve learnt after placing hundreds of IT professionals for my clients:
➔ A CV only tells one side of the story. Our job is to dig deeper with pre-screening and technical assessments to find out who can actually perform.
➔ Gaps in a CV aren’t a red flag when you assess real skills.
And the best part? Every candidate we introduce comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Stop judging candidates by their CVs alone. Start hiring based on skills, not guesswork.
