Talent
Match has developed a unique, six-step hiring and capability approach which now combines role fit, Capability Passports, standalone Career Intelligence and Certified validation for clients and talent alike.
The Perfect Match
A six-step process designed to improve fit, pace, evidence and future career clarity.
Clients
By understanding your current capabilities, organisational needs and delivery pressure, we can apply our matching tools, portfolio insight and one-on-one consultancy expertise to attract the highest calibre talent.
Talent
Our profiling tools now combine Capability Passport evidence, standalone Career Intelligence, market positioning and AI career resilience so you can see how your profile reads, where you are strongest and what to strengthen next.
The Power of Data
Accurate and Agile Filtering
In a single project, we received more than 300 candidates and, after completing our six-step process, only one candidate was deemed suitable. That's a 0.33% ratio, and not untypical.
Trusted Network
85% of our resourcing placements are filled via our validated network, 10% via proactive head hunting, and only 5% via traditional recruitment methods.
Removing CV Dependency
Good people and good CVs are not always one and the same. Reflective suitability and validation are therefore a vital part of our process.
Efficiency Improvement
Our six-step talent process helps clients improve hiring ratios, reduce overall cost to hire, and move interview-to-hire ratios from 1-to-5 to 1-to-1.
Our Process
Our process is a flexible framework that adapts, evolves and responds to your needs.
01 Talent Assessment
We validate your requirements against best-in-class role models to increase the chances of success from the outset.
02 Chances of Success
Using your unique profile, we filter high volumes of pre-screened and validated candidate profiles to find the best Match.
03 Validation
Consultants validate candidates against your needs, test inconsistencies, review CV accuracy and confirm working preferences.
04 Interview
Professional interviews and assessments translate strong candidate data into confident hiring decisions.
05 Fit and Offer
We help compare capability, motivation and environment fit so clients can move faster with better certainty.
06 Better Results
The six-step process has been applied thousands of times and is constantly evolving to improve hiring outcomes.
Achieving Better Results
Our six-step process gives clients immediate access to fully validated talent and has been created to significantly increase your chances of success. We know it works, we have applied it thousands of times and we are constantly developing it.
Our process allows you to do in 10 minutes what we have learnt over the last 20 years.
Career Intelligence
A standalone paid insight module for talent.
Career Intelligence sits alongside Capability Passport and Certified as the premium insight layer. It helps talent understand market value, employability, future career resilience and the practical next steps most likely to strengthen their profile over time. It is optional and is not required to register with Match or apply for roles.
- Market Value Index and benchmark range
- Employability and future-risk scoring
- AI Career Resilience Index
- ABC complexity profile and action planning
- Clearer direction on what to strengthen next
The Certified Path
For talent who want optional validation and supporting material, the Match Certified path focuses on structured evidence, trust signals and profile support. Career Intelligence sits alongside it as a separate paid insight layer.
These paid services are optional. Employers continue to pay Match for recruitment services, and buying them is not required to create an account, search for opportunities, or apply for roles.
