Stop drowning
in CVs.
Done-for-you AI screening for UK tech recruitment agencies. Get your 24 hours back.
Your consultants shouldn't be
CV-readers.
Revolut got 1.6 million applications for 5,000 roles last year. The volume isn't an outlier any more. It's the new floor.
The first scan of a CV takes about 7.4 seconds. A quick eye-track over the headline, dates, and the first bullet. Nothing close to what a senior DevOps contractor needs.
Doing it properly takes 12 to 18 hours per role. Two working days, per brief. Multiply by every live spec on the desk and the maths gets brutal fast. The candidates you actually wanted are off the market in 48 hours. By the time your shortlist lands, the strongest profiles are in process elsewhere.
And then the punchline. 80% of CVs never make the shortlist. Your consultants still had to read every one to find out.
A dedicated resourcer fixes the bottleneck, at £28,000 a year before NI. For most agencies your size, that maths rarely works. So screening gets squeezed onto consultants who should be selling, or quietly skipped, and the top candidates get lost in the pile.
Astra reads every CV. The whole pile. You get a ranked shortlist back, in under 24 hours.

The maths
most agencies never run.
Screening 100 CVs for one role. Four real options. What each one actually costs you in time, money, and risk.
Small UK tech
recruitment agencies.
Optimised, narrowly and deliberately, for the agencies that feel this pain hardest.
- UK-based tech or IT recruitment. SaaS, infra, data, AI, cyber, fintech.
- Four to twelve consultants. No dedicated resourcer. Founders still selling.
- Contract-heavy desks. 60%+ contract roles. Speed matters more than depth.
- Five or more live roles. CV volume is breaking your weeks.
- Losing top candidates to slow turnaround. The ones you wanted went elsewhere.
About 3% on top of what you're already burning.
Most agencies your size are running around £37,000 a year in tools. ATS, job boards, LinkedIn Recruiter, CV formatters. Astra sits on top of that at about 3%. And it's the only line item that actually shortens your consultants' week.
