Finalist notes
C-07 · 95
Strengths: 6 years keeping books for an electrical contractor; ran weekly payroll for 22 hourly staff; set up job costing by project. Gaps: availability says "flexible", Tue–Thu not confirmed. Check: reason for leaving the current role after 6 years. Interview questions:
- Walk us through how you allocated materials and labour to individual jobs.
- How did you handle overtime and holiday pay in payroll?
- Which days and hours can you commit to from next month?
C-02 · 80
Strengths: 4 years at an accounting office serving 30+ small clients; strong reconciliations. Gaps: payroll only for salaried staff; no trades experience. Check: comfort with timesheets that change weekly. Interview questions:
- How would you set up payroll for staff paid by the hour with variable shifts?
- Describe a month-end close you ran from start to finish.
- What would you need to learn about job costing in your first month?
Recommendation
Invite C-07, C-02 and C-11 to interview. C-04 is a solid backup if payroll training is an option. The final decision is yours.

Questions and answers
Do you decide whom to hire?
No. We score CVs against your requirements and explain why; the hiring decision is always yours.
What do you never take into account?
Age, gender, photos, nationality, ethnicity, religion, marital status, health and other protected traits. We score only what the job requires.
Can you contact candidates or check references?
No. We work only with the CVs you send and do not contact anyone or look candidates up online.
Is there a limit on CV length?
All files together can hold about 40,000 words, which is enough for 25 typical CVs. Very long CVs may be cut, so leave out portfolios and attachments.
Can I ask for changes?
Yes, within the revisions of your package.
