Hiring, from your side
of the table.
Orso is recruitment run by someone who's actually sat in the hiring seat. No inbox of forwarded PDFs. No agency phone tag. Just a live, transparent dashboard of vetted candidates — seen, screened and scored.
Recruitment shouldn't feel like 2005.
You've felt the pain: a flood of look-alike CVs, agencies chasing you by email, no real sense of who these people actually are until you're in the room.
The old way
- ✕ A dozen near-identical PDFs in your inbox
- ✕ Agencies calling and emailing for updates
- ✕ No idea how someone presents until the interview
- ✕ Opaque, high fees with little to show for it
- ✕ Hours lost filtering and forwarding
The Orso way
- ✓ One live dashboard — every candidate in one place
- ✓ Interactive digital CVs, not flat PDFs
- ✓ Recorded first-stage video screens with AI + recruiter insight
- ✓ Fit scored against your exact brief
- ✓ Lower fee, full transparency, zero chasing
End to end, in one place.
You keep doing your job. I run the search. The portal keeps you in the loop the entire way — no meetings required.
We scope the brief
A short call to define the role, the must-haves and the culture. I turn it into a scorecard.
I source & screen
I find and personally screen candidates over recorded video calls — consented and GDPR-safe.
You get a private portal
Your own secure login opens onto a live dashboard of shortlisted, scored candidates.
You decide, we place
Watch the screens, read the insights, pick who to meet. Access closes once you've hired.
What you actually get to see.
Recorded video screens
Watch each candidate answer your questions in a real first-stage screen — body language, communication, the human read you can't get from paper.
AI + recruiter insights
Every screen comes with AI-generated signals on clarity, competency and consistency — paired with my own human notes as a finance leader.
Fit scored to your brief
No vanity rankings. Each candidate is scored against the exact scorecard we agreed, so you compare like for like.
Digital CVs
Interactive candidate profiles — career timeline, skills, comp expectations and availability — instead of a stack of PDFs.
GDPR by design
Recordings are captured with explicit candidate consent and permanently deleted the moment your engagement closes.
Access that expires
Your login is unique to your engagement and switches off once a placement is made. No lingering data, no clutter.
Not a recruiter. A finance leader who's hired.
Ranbir Ghuman — Founder
ACA · Big Four · Private Equity · FTSE 100
Fifteen years in finance — across the Big Four, private equity and FTSE 100 businesses — building high-performing finance teams from the ground up for brands like Starbucks in the UK and Papa John's across the UAE, KSA and Jordan.
In my last two senior roles I lived the exact pain Orso fixes: drowning in look-alike CVs, chasing agencies, trying to read a person off a single page. The obvious next step was an FD or CFO seat. I chose this instead — to solve a problem I'd felt first-hand, and add real value where it's needed.
"With Orso you're not just getting a recruiter. You're getting a finance leader as your hiring advisor — for a lower fee, and a far better experience."
The future, for less than the past.
Same engagement model you already know — a placement fee on success. Just lower, and with a vastly better experience behind it.
