Garbage in, garbage out.
Why digital recruitment is broken,
and what we've done to fix it.
Today, we live in a digital world. A world driven by emerging technology and reliant on digital skills. But the world of recruitment has failed to keep up with the pace of change.
Digital skills are in short supply, or are they?
Building digital teams is hard. And hiring the very best digital talent from a sea of mediocre applicants can be a challenge for even the most experienced hiring managers. But you know the perfect candidate is out there – if only you could find them.
- High-performing teams drive digital transformation
- Digital skill sets are evolving at an accelerating pace
- CVs are an unreliable way of assessing capabilities
- Legacy hiring systems are inflexible and cumbersome
- Job boards are designed for quantity not quality


Manual processes are slow and inefficient.
It’s strange. As we work hard to digitise, automate and transform business processes and design, develop and deliver digital products, the systems and processes we use to build our digital teams remain manual, slow and inefficient.
- Hiring processes are labour-intensive
Recruitment resources are in short supply
- Candidate screening is slow and burdensome
- Traditional assessment methods are ineffective
- Specialist recruitment agencies are expensive
Current tools are just not up to the job.
Organisations need digital talent. From nimble technology startups to enterprise-wide transformation initiatives, building high-performing digital teams is now mission critical. But a lack of dedicated tools and digital innovation is hampering this effort.
- Posting on job boards is highly unpredictable
- Candidate matching methods are fatally flawed
- Poorly informed hiring decisions can be very costly
- Processes are not designed to build digital teams
- Current tools lack intelligence and automation

INTRODUCING ELBO.
Simply the future of digital recruitment.
Assess meaningful metrics
Digital recruitment is broken. Pure and simple. And CVs are an unreliable way of assessing capabilities. But until now there’s been no credible alternative. Here’s how we’ve fixed that.

Specialist criteria
Digital skill sets are evolving so fast it can be hard to keep up. That’s why we designed Elbo around the specific criteria needed to find the best technical and delivery talent and make the best hiring decisions.
- Access detailed skills assessments and proficiency rankings
- Understand salary, benefits and location preferences
- Recognise cultural and technological preferences
360-degree profiles
Skills and experience are important. But it takes more than that to get a true representation of each candidate. That’s why we embedded personality reporting and strength assessments at the heart of Elbo.
