Questions

Before you ask.

Is this recruitment?

No. You source the shortlist. We evaluate it and hand back a written verdict. No sourcing, no placement fee.

Why finance roles only?

Because the evaluation rests on finance judgment. Reading whether a controller actually owned a close is the same work Daftar does on a set of financial statements. Outside finance we would be guessing.

Does it replace our interviewers?

No. Your panel still interviews. The Verdict gives them a scorecard and a written read on the evidence, so the decision rests on something they can point to.
