The Process

Step 1: Recruitment Planning

This step sets the foundation for the hire. We work through the role requirements with you to align on what “good” looks like — including role fit, screening depth, and how decisions are made.

The outcome is a clear recruitment plan that removes guesswork before sourcing begins.

The recruitment plan covers:

1. Role scope and screening criteria
2. Sourcing approach and channels
3. Planned effort and pricing (agreed upfront)
4. Workflow and timeline aligned to your process

Step 2: Align Candidate Experience

Recruiters ghosting candidates and offering poor experiences is a big issue. Here’s how we improve your candidate experience and focus on ethical and equitable recruitment:

  • Crafting candidate-friendly JDs with clear EVPs.
  • Streamlining the hiring process for a smooth and thorough experience.
  • Using our custom ATS to simplify feedback and updates.

A strong candidate experience boosts your brand, attracts top talent, and encourages reapplications.

Step 3: Start Sourcing

Unorthodox is the mantra here, this process takes about 3-7 days. Where we don't just stick to Seek and Linkedin, we also dive deep into Twitter, Reddit, GitHub, TikTok and Instagram.

How? We use a combination of head-hunting techniques, digital ads and marketing automation to get in front of the best talent and also encourage them to apply to your role/s.

Step 4: Screening Interviews

Screening is where most hiring time is lost — and where ClearHire™ changes the outcome.

Interviews are run against your agreed screening criteria using structured screening calls, supported by in-house domain experts and in-house AI that assesses responses in real-time.

Candidates are assessed properly — before they reach your team.

What you receive:
1. A structured screening summary against the role criteria
2. Interview recordings and written insights
3. Clear signals on role-fit

The result is fewer interviews and clearer hiring decisions.

Step 5: Your Interviews

We then send you a list of shortlisted candidates and their interview notes/results, where you select the candidates that you would like to run your own interview/s.

With Magic, typically our clients are able to make a confident decision after a single interview per candidate on their end.

However, this can be discussed prior and the number of rounds can be decided in accordance to what allows you to make a confident decision.

Step 6: Offer & Negotiations 

This is optional but we can take care of negotiating your offer with the candidate, striving to secure the talent with a fair offer that the candidate is happy with.

Otherwise, we're more than happy for you to handle this or even do this segment with us.

Step 1:
Dissect Your
Role

This is where we dive deeper into your role requirements and dissect it alongside you, so we can gauge a true understanding of the type of talent you’re looking for in terms of technical skills, non-technical skills and also the type of culture your team has. 

All this information is critical for us to find talent that will fit the role and be a culture-fit or a culture-add.

Step 2:
Align
Candidate
Experience

Recruiters ghosting candidates and offering poor experiences is a big issue. We created PICWA to change that, focusing on ethical and equitable recruitment. Here’s how we improve candidate experience:

  • 1) Crafting candidate-friendly JDs with clear EVPs.
  • 2) Streamlining the hiring process for a smooth and thorough experience.
  • 3) Using our custom ATS to simplify feedback and updates.

Step 3:
Start Sourcing

Unorthodox is the mantra here, this process takes about 5-7 days. Where we don't just stick to Seek and Linkedin, we also dive deep into Twitter, Reddit, GitHub, TikTok and Instagram.

How? We use a combination of head-hunting techniques, digital ads and marketing automation to get in front of the best talent and also encourage them to apply to your role/s.

Step 4:
Skills Interviews
(Done For You)

Here’s how we save clients 80% of their time and help them save an average of $12,000:

We’ve built a network of Tech leaders, Senior Project Managers, MarTech Digital Marketers, and Sales Heads who conduct role-specific skill interviews tailored to your needs.

This is done transparently in Step 1 of our process. Within an hour, you’ll receive detailed reports and a cloud-based recording of the interview, ensuring complete accountability.

Step 5:
Your Shortlisted 
Candidates & 
Interviews

We then send you a list of shortlisted candidates and their interview notes/results, where you select the candidates that you would like to run your own interview/s.

With Step 4, typically our clients are able to make a confident decision after a single interview per candidate on their end. However, this can be discussed prior and the number of rounds can be decided in accordance to what allows you to make a confident decision.

Step 6:
Offer &
Negotiations 

This is optional but we can take care of negotiating your offer with the candidate, striving to secure the engineer with a fair offer that the candidate is happy with. Otherwise, we're more than happy for you to handle this or even do this segment with us.
