A longer interview to dig into skills, experience, and culture fit.

Create a final shortlist

We narrow it down to the strongest candidates for you to review.

Interview, Hire & Onboard

We won’t ever fling CVs at you and ask you who you think is best. That’s our job. We book slots in your diary and put only the very best candidates in front of you.

You can then review their Cosmic Profile, use the interview task we create for you, and use the Cosmic interview scoring matrix. That’s before we help with onboarding and handover.

It’s a truly unparalleled recruitment service for sales hiring.
