Most agencies still screen the way they did a decade ago — one CV, one tab, one spreadsheet at a time.

Not just a score — the reasons behind it
Every candidate gets a report like this: how they meet each requirement, the line in their CV that proves it, what still needs checking, and what to ask at interview. Warehouse floor or boardroom. Helixon helps you decide — the final call is always yours.

Bulk screening
One role. Dozens of CVs. One ranked shortlist.
Every candidate for a role is scored against the same spec, so the comparison holds up — and a weak CV never blocks the rest of the batch.
