The cost of hiring the old way

One role can swallow a full week of your time.

You post the role on Seek, Indeed, or wherever you already advertise, and the applications pile up. Forty to two hundred for a single opening. Someone has to open every one, skim most in seconds, and the good people get buried under the rest. Lume doesn't replace where you post. It takes over the part that costs you the week: the reading.

How Lume works

You set the standard. Lume does the legwork.

01

The candidate applies online

Name, experience, availability, a cover letter, and their resume, plus an optional short video intro. It takes them five to eight minutes.

02

Lume reads and scores in seconds

You tell Lume what matters for the role: the strengths to reward, the gaps to flag, the must-haves. It reads every application against that brief, weighs each person's strengths and weaknesses on their own merits, transcribes the video, and scores them to the standard you set. No two roles are judged the same way unless you want them to be.

03

Everyone hears back fast

Candidates get a timely, professional response instead of weeks of silence. No ghosting, no backlog, no late nights working through an inbox.

04

You open a shortlist, not a pile

Instead of 200 resumes, you see a ranked list. Each candidate comes with a score, a behavioural badge, their strengths, the concerns, and their full answers. Around two minutes per candidate.

05

You make the call

You decide who to meet, and you can adjust the standard or override any result at any time. Lume hands you a clear view. The judgment stays yours.
