A Smarter Way to Meet Candidates
One-way video interviews let your team evaluate candidates on your own schedule — without coordinating diaries or committing to a live call too early. Ceres uses structured, asynchronous interviews to give you faster, fairer, and better-informed shortlists.

Candidate Experience
Candidates record responses to a tailored set of questions at a time that suits them — across any time zone, without scheduling pressure. This removes barriers to participation and ensures you hear from high-quality talent who might otherwise drop out of a traditional process.

Employer Advantage
Your team reviews recordings at a convenient time, using consistent questions that make candidate comparisons fairer and more objective. You see more of the right people before committing to a live interview — saving hours and improving shortlist quality.
How It Works
1
Ceres Sends the Questions
We design a tailored question set aligned to the role’s competencies, culture, and your specific hiring criteria — then send it directly to shortlisted candidates.
2
Candidates Record on Their Time
Each candidate records their responses privately, at a time and place that suits them — removing scheduling friction and enabling participation across geographies and time zones.
3
You Review and Select
Your team reviews the recordings together, compares candidates on equal footing, and decides who advances to a live interview — fully informed, and without wasted meeting time.
Engagements
Retained Search
Ceres Management offers flexible engagement models tailored to the way you hire. For strategic, ongoing recruitment needs, we work on a retained basis, partnering closely with your leadership team, prioritising your roles, and providing dedicated search resources. For roles where you prefer to pay only when a hire is made, we offer contingency search, giving you access to our talent network with fees triggered upon successful placement. For roles that require a longer evaluation period or added workforce agility, our temp-to-hire model allows candidates to begin on an interim contract, with the option to convert to permanent employment once mutual fit is confirmed.

Contingency Hire
While specific fees depend on role level, volume, and market conditions, our pricing is always transparent and aligned with your hiring strategy. Retained search typically suits critical or confidential leadership and specialist roles, where you value priority access, structured market mapping, and guaranteed delivery. Contingency search is ideal for standard or multiple similar vacancies, giving you flexibility and payment only on successful hire. Temp-to-hire solutions combine staffing agility with the opportunity to evaluate performance and culture fit before making a long-term commitment, helping you control risk and manage budgets more predictably.
