Be first in the race for talent

First specialises in managing inbound application volume. We put AI screening directly in the application form, capturing more data than just a CV while candidates are engaged. The top 1-5% automatically advance to the next stage whilst interest is highest. We focus on solving this for industry-leading companies with high inbound volume and those driving candidates from job boards.
