How pre-submission scoring protects your agency's credibility

Every candidate pack is scored against the brief before submission. Consultants review scores across multiple criteria, identify gaps, and make informed send/hold decisions. Client-ready packs include branded profiles, scoring summaries, and gap analysis.

Candidate scoring breakdown for a single profile

Scoring across five key criteria

Every candidate is scored on technical skills, industry experience, seniority, availability, and overall match before anyone hits send. Each score includes identified strengths, weaknesses, and a written recommendation — the full picture, not just a number.

Pre-submission quality gate

Before the shortlist reaches the client, Respond reviews the entire candidate pack as a group — not just individual profiles. It checks brief coverage, flags collective gaps, and rates the group's strength so your consultants can make confident send or hold decisions.

See where candidates fall short

Respond shows where each candidate meets the brief and where they fall short. If the pack has a collective weakness — no one has the right clearance or industry background — it searches your talent pool for candidates who fill that gap and recommends them.

Client-ready candidate submission packs

Export a professional covering email to your clipboard, download all branded CVs as a single ZIP, and include scoring summaries showing the client why each candidate was selected. Optional name masking supports blind shortlisting when the client requires it.
