Real Hiring Challenges. Proven Results.

The hiring challenge

Senior investment professionals rarely answer job ads. Most are employed, well paid, and only listen when a role is clearly a step up. With a single opening, the shortlist had no room for filler.

How Hire22 approached the search

1. 1

   Hunter AI looked past active job seekers and found 288 profiles with the right investment experience.

2. 2

   CoNCT AI asked them, privately, whether the move interested them, and JoinX scored the ones who said yes on fit and likelihood to join. 80 scored above 70.

3. 3

   The five strongest were shortlisted for interview. The client ran the interviews from there and hired one candidate from the top 10 of the JoinX ranking.

The outcome

1. 288 Candidates found
2. 80 Scored 70+ on JoinX
3. 5 Shortlisted for interview
4. 1 Hired by the client From the top 10 JoinX-ranked profiles

Five names for one seat. One hire.

“With one opening, five names is the right size of shortlist: big enough to compare, small enough that the hiring manager actually reads every profile.”

Jais Augus, Head of Recruitment & Talent

Hire22 found, screened and shortlisted the candidates. The client ran its own interviews and made the hire.

Questions about this case

The hiring challenge

Search "ServiceNow" on a job board and you get thousands of IT resumes that mention it once. Very few belong to people who have actually built on the platform, and fewer still want to move. Finding out which is which usually costs a recruiter days on the phone.

How Hire22 approached the search

1. 1

   Matching ran on hands-on platform work, not job titles. That gave 165 profiles.

2. 2

   CoNCT AI checked which of them wanted to talk, and JoinX scored the ones who said yes on fit and likelihood to join. 74 scored above 80.

3. 3

   18 went to the client as an interview-ready shortlist. The client hired two, both from the top 10 of the JoinX ranking.

The outcome

1. 165 Candidates found
2. 74 Scored 80+ on JoinX
3. 18 Shortlisted for interview
4. 2 Hired by the client From the top 10 JoinX-ranked profiles

18 developers worth interviewing, from one JobCoNCT.

“The number I watch on niche roles is the drop from a high JoinX score to the shortlist. Here 74 became 18, which tells you how many ServiceNow resumes don't survive a real look.”

The hiring challenge

The work is new: building systems where AI agents plan and act on their own. The people who can do it call themselves ML engineers, backend engineers, applied scientists, sometimes just "AI developer". Search on the title and you miss most of them.

Agentic AI recruiting, used to hire Agentic AI engineers.

“On a role this new, I trust a skills match over a title match. A title search would have gone looking for people who barely exist yet.”
