The Meridian Standard

What happens after you apply

Five stages, and you know where you stand at the end of each one. Nothing goes to a client until you have said yes to that specific role.

  1. 01

    You apply

    Reply within 3 working days

    Your CV is read by a consultant who recruits in your field.

    • CV and salary expectations
    • Read, not parsed
    • A written answer either way
  2. 02

    Screening call

    30-45 minutes

    A conversation about what you have built, where you want to go next and what you are not willing to trade for it.

    • Your track record
    • What you want next
    • Constraints and dealbreakers
  3. 03

    Expertise assessment

    60-90 minutes

    A structured technical or domain conversation with someone who knows the work. No trick questions, no unpaid take-home project.

    • Depth in your specialism
    • Trade-offs under real constraints
    • How you reason out loud
  4. 04

    Validation

    One short call

    The practical half. We agree your band, your notice period and what a role has to offer before it is worth your time.

    • Compensation band
    • Availability and notice
    • References, only with your consent
  5. 05

    Introduction

    When a role matches

    We put you forward with a written case for why you fit, and prepare you for the client's own process. Your name only ever goes out once you have agreed to that specific role.

    • A written case, not a forwarded CV
    • Your approval per role
    • Preparation and feedback
Who it's for

Where we can actually help

We would rather rule you out in a sentence than take three hours of your time and then go quiet.

  • Mid-level and above

    Three years or more of professional experience in your specialism. We do not run graduate or entry-level hiring, and saying so early saves you the assessment.

  • A technical or specialist discipline

    Software engineering, AI and data, product and management, marketing, advertising or HR. If your field is not one we recruit in, we will tell you at the first reply.

  • Working English

    Our clients hire across borders, so you will need enough English to run a technical conversation in it. We assess it as part of the process rather than asking for a certificate.

  • Genuinely open to a move

    Not necessarily today. But the programme is built around real conversations, so it only works if you would take the right role if it appeared.

What you get

What being in the pool means

  • Relevant opportunities only

    We contact you when a role genuinely matches your experience, level and stated preferences. Not monthly, not in bulk.

  • Confidential conversations

    Nothing is shared with a client without your explicit approval on that specific role. Your current employer never appears in our outreach.

  • Market insight

    Compensation benchmarks, hiring demand and market movement for your specialism - the same data we give our clients.

  • Long-term relationships

    Most of the people we place we have known for years. We would rather be useful across a career than transact once.

FAQs

Before you apply

No. Candidates are never charged, for anything, at any stage. Our fee is paid by the company that hires you, which is also why we will not put you forward for a role you have not agreed to.
