Hikari doesn’t match keywords. It reads each CV for meaning, so “carried a number” and “quota-bearing” count as the same thing. Then it highlights the exact lines behind every score.
Five deals above £250k at Corbelle Payments, the largest £610k with a grocery multiple in 2024.
What Hikari read
- New business throughout, never a renewals patch
- Ravenhill Software 2017–21, mid-market finance software. Corbelle Payments 2021 to now, enterprise. She has never held a pure renewals patch.
- The buyer has been a CFO since 2021
- On the £610k she took the payback model to the CFO and the audit committee, and wrote the business case herself rather than handing it to a solutions consultant.
- Full-cycle, and roughly 60% self-sourced
- She sources her own pipeline, runs discovery, builds the case and closes. No SDR has carried her patch.
Against the briefAttainment is claimed, not carried on the CV — she says the figures are commercially sensitive. Hikari marks it said, not evidenced, and writes the question for your call.
Carried a new-business number across two payments patches, acquiring and settlement, with four deals above £250k.
What Hikari read
- Four deals above £250k across the two patches
- Acquiring and settlement, each one new business rather than a renewal. The largest is not named on the CV.
- Enterprise motion evidenced
- Deals run through procurement and infosec, with a named finance buyer on each.
Against the briefFour deals above £250k against the five the brief asks for, and the largest is not named. That is why he sits below Ottilie rather than beside her.
Two deals above £250k, not the five the brief asks for. Everything else is evidenced, and all of it is new business.
What Hikari read
- Two deals above £250k last year
- New business at Thornmere Pay since 2021, selling acquiring into retail and hospitality. The CFO was the buyer on both.
- New business throughout, no renewals
- Every deal on the CV is new business at Thornmere Pay; no account-management or renewals patch appears anywhere.
- Right buyer, right sector, three deals short
- He is the candidate a keyword filter drops on the deal count and a recruiter keeps on the shortlist.
Against the briefTwo deals above £250k against five. Tell Hikari the client will flex for the right person and he moves to third.

Every client has a line. Hikari knows theirs.
Hikari keeps a record of every candidate a client has taken forward or turned down, and why. It shows you the lowest score they’ve ever taken forward, so you can see who’s likely to land before you send them. It’s built only from that client’s decisions. Every shortlist you send adds to it.

Never a score. The client sees the reasons.
No two versions of Hikari are the same.
Because no two recruitment businesses are the same. On an annual subscription, we build Hikari around your process, your clients and your ATS. We agree exactly what’s included with you on the call.

Thirty days, free, on your own live roles, set up with you by a recruiter who has done the job. After that, an annual subscription built around your desks, based on how many recruiters use it.
Applications close 30 October.
Works with your ATS.
Use it as a Chrome extension beside the ATS you already work in, from day one. Or have it built into your ATS, reading the role and the CVs directly. Either way, nothing is installed on your network and there’s nothing for your IT team to build.
Tested for bias. Every week. Results published.
The same CV, scored with different names, every week. When we found a candidate's name moving scores in September, we took the name out of the scoring and published the before and the after. That is the standard: test, fix, show you.
Before the fix, a candidate’s name moved scores almost three times as much as chance would. After it, less than chance.
We don't claim bias-free. We claim tested, fixed and published — every result, in full.
We'd rather tell you the truth, even when it costs us the sale.
