HR · internal hiring
HR posts a role with its job description. Employees refer candidates with a CV. Before anyone reads either document, the system compares them and returns a structured verdict — score, skill match, experience gaps, risk flags and a written reason.

Strong match
Confidence: high
Automated screen
A human reads every verdict — this ranks, it does not decide
Skill match — 71%
Critical gap: none
Experience
Written reason
Matches five of seven required skills including the full core stack, and exceeds the experience bar by 1.2 years. Cloud and orchestration experience is the gap. The 2023 career break is flagged for context, not as a negative — it is stated on the CV.

Employee referrals are the best hiring channel most companies have and the worst-managed. A CV arrives as an email attachment, sits in an inbox, and the referring employee never learns what happened.
The screening itself is the bottleneck: someone has to read a job description and a résumé side by side and form a judgement, for every referral, and the judgement is not written down anywhere comparable.

The choice, why it was made, and what it means for you. Skip the middle part if you like — the point still lands.
01
The choice
The screen returns fifteen-plus discrete fields rather than a block of prose.
Why
A recruiter can sort and filter a structure. A paragraph, they have to read — which means at volume they do not, and the screening adds nothing.
What it means for you
You can rank a week of referrals by skill-match percentage, or filter to everyone with a critical gap, without opening a single CV.
02
The choice
A human reads every verdict, and the flags exist to be argued with.
Why
An automated hiring decision is both a bad idea and, in most jurisdictions, a growing legal problem. The flags — career break, overqualification — are exactly the ones where an automated judgement would be wrong most often and most unfairly.
What it means for you
You get the time saving without handing over the decision, and the reasoning is written down so it can be challenged.
03
The choice
Authentication runs through the company’s existing directory.
Why
An internal tool with its own user list becomes a stale user list the day someone leaves.
What it means for you
Access follows employment automatically, and there is no separate offboarding step to forget.
Any company running an internal referral scheme, or any high-volume hiring process where the first pass is a human reading two documents side by side. The same document-comparison shape applies well beyond hiring — tender responses against requirements, claims against policies.

Twenty minutes on a call is usually enough for me to tell you whether software is the answer and roughly what it would cost. If it isn’t, I’ll say so.
Available for freelance builds alongside senior engineering work. One or two projects at a time.
