How UK tech companies transformed their screening process
The problem: 312 applications for a senior engineering role. I was overwhelmed and about to hire a recruiter.
The discovery: Serand flagged 6 strong candidates. One was on page 8 of my inbox - a self-taught developer with an unconventional background but perfect experience.
The result: She's now our lead engineer and the best hire we've made. Would have never found her manually.
Before: Every Monday, I'd block 4 hours to read weekend applications. Usually 150+ CVs. Soul-destroying work.
Now: I upload them all to Serand on Monday morning. By 9:15am, I have my shortlist. I'm interviewing by 10am.
Time saved: 15+ hours per week. I actually enjoy Mondays now. My team thinks I've hired an assistant!
The skepticism: I didn't trust AI to understand our specific needs - we need product managers with marketplace experience, very niche.
The setup: Spent 10 minutes teaching Serand our requirements. It understood marketplace dynamics better than some recruiters I've worked with.
The proof: Of 12 candidates it marked "highly qualified", we interviewed 11. Hired 3. That's an insane hit rate.

Everything you need to know in under 2 minutes
Under 30 seconds for 100 CVs. Upload them all at once - PDFs, Word docs, even forwarded emails. You'll have your shortlist before your coffee gets cold. Most clients screen their entire backlog in their first 10 minutes.
Yes to all. PDFs, Word docs, LinkedIn exports, even those nightmare CVs with tables and graphics. Our AI extracts the content regardless of format. It even handles different date formats, abbreviations, and typos. If a human can read it, we can screen it.
Our AI understands context, not just keywords. Need someone with "experience scaling marketplaces but not from Amazon"? Or "startup experience but not as a founder"? Just write it in plain English. The AI understands nuance, implications, and even reads between the lines of CVs to spot relevant experience that isn't explicitly stated.
Absolutely. Too strict? Too lenient? Adjust your requirements and re-screen in seconds. You can tweak must-haves vs nice-to-haves, adjust years of experience, add new criteria you hadn't considered. It's like having a recruiter you can give instant feedback to. Most clients nail their perfect criteria within 2-3 adjustments.
The opposite - it finds them. Unlike keyword matching, our AI understands transferable skills. Self-taught developer? Career changer from consulting? It recognizes relevant experience that traditional screening would miss. Several clients have hired "hidden gems" that were buried deep in their inbox. The AI is often less biased than human reviewers.
Most ATS systems use basic keyword matching - if the exact words aren't there, they miss it. Our AI understands meaning. "Managed a team of engineers" = "Led technical team" = "Engineering leadership". Plus, we explain WHY each candidate matches or doesn't, not just a percentage score. Works alongside your existing ATS - we're the intelligence layer on top.
Fully GDPR compliant. All data is encrypted, processed in the UK/EU, and automatically deleted after your specified retention period. You maintain full ownership and control. We're ISO 27001 certified and undergo regular security audits. Same standards as major UK banks.
Our AI achieves 91% accuracy in predicting 18-month job performance—validated across hundreds of companies. Traditional interviews average 50% (barely better than random).
Most clients see positive ROI within the first quarter. Avoiding just one bad hire (£50K+ cost) typically covers the annual investment 3-5x over.
Absolutely not. Our motto is "Robots Don't Hire People." The human connection is the most critical part of hiring.
We handle the repetitive, data-processing parts of screening so your recruiters can get out of spreadsheets and focus on what they do best: building relationships, assessing deep cultural fit, and selling top candidates on your vision.
Think of Serand as a co-pilot, not an autopilot. We give your team superpowers—we don't replace them.
