For Clients

Cut through the noise, hire with confidence

Add VBench to your existing ads and let AI screen every applicant on what matters to you, then rank them with full transparency. Your team spends more time with the right people instead of sifting through the noise.

Screen on What Matters

AI screens every applicant on your real criteria: visa, location, salary, and both hard and soft skills. You only speak to the people who genuinely fit.

Interview-Ready Insights

Get personalised interview questions for each candidate plus in-depth analysis, including cross-functional skill opportunities and any concerns or areas worth probing.

Fits Your Workflow

VBench sits between your job adverts and your CRM or email. Keep advertising where you already do, and connect it to your existing systems with API and webhook integrations.

TA.Extended Network

Reach beyond active applicants with TA's Extended Network for proactive headhunting across large talent pools, surfacing passive candidates who never apply to ads.

TA.Sponsored Talent

We can sponsor. If a candidate needs sponsorship we show you the all-in cost up front. Happy with the price and we sponsor quickly and handle the rest. Minimum 12-month term.

TA.Deep Search

Struggling to fill? Upgrade to Deep Search and have your bench populated for you in real time by the best recruiters in your sector.

For Candidates

If you are right for the job, you ARE seen

Your skills speak for themselves. VBench makes sure you are never lost in a sea of applications, assessed on merit rather than how your CV is formatted. AI does not replace the human here. It gives recruiters more time to spend with the right people, so you get genuine human engagement.

You ARE Seen

If you are right for the job, you will not get lost in a sea of applications. VBench makes sure the right people see your profile.

Skills Speak for Themselves

Bias eliminated. No gatekeeping on names or backgrounds. Your abilities are assessed on pure merit with AI-powered skill scoring that lets your talent do the talking.

Beyond the CV

VBench surfaces your cross-functional skills and opportunities to employers even when your CV does not look like an obvious fit. Formatting it a certain way is not essential. If the information is there, you will be seen.

Interview Training & Tips

Get access to interview training, tips and articles to help you prepare and put your best foot forward.

Everyone Gets Closure

No ghosting, no black holes. Real-time status updates mean you always know where you stand at every stage.

See Roles Early

Open a new avenue to see up-and-coming positions before they go live, putting you ahead of the queue.

More Human, Not Less

AI does not replace the human. It gives recruiters more time to spend with the right people, so you get genuine human engagement rather than an automated brush-off.

Sponsorship Pathway

Need visa sponsorship to work in Australia? Employers on VBench actively want to sponsor the right talent. TA handles the entire process so you get placed and sponsored without navigating it alone.

How It Works

Five steps to a ready-made pipeline

01

Add VBench to your role

Define your requirements and drop a single VBench link into your ads. You can even advertise up-and-coming positions before they go live to get your bench ready in advance.

Candidates always see full transparency about the situation.

02

Candidates apply

Applicants add their details and preferences through your link. No cover letters, no lengthy forms.

Fast, frictionless, respectful of their time.

03

AI screens instantly

AI screens every applicant on visa, location and salary (Tier 1 gates), then scores hard and soft skill fit (Tier 2), and generates personalised interview questions and insights.

Full transparency on every score, so your team can trust the ranking.

04

Your bench populates

Candidates are ordered so the best matches surface first on your secure dashboard, scored and ready to go, with privacy controls until you engage.

AI gives your recruiters more time with the right people.

05

You engage and everyone gets closure

Review profiles, track your pipeline, and request introductions when the timing is right. As roles close, every candidate is updated.

No black holes, and Talent Aligned facilitates every connection.

Platform Features

Built for modern recruitment

Every feature designed to reduce time-to-hire, protect relationships, and give you strategic intelligence across any industry.

AI-Powered Scoring

Assesses both hard and soft skills with evidence-based reasoning, and gates on visa, location and salary. Not a keyword match, a true proficiency evaluation across any role in any industry.

Keep-Alive Protocol

Automatically contacts benched candidates every 15 days to confirm their circumstances have not changed. Still active candidates stay live; the rest come off.

Everyone Gets Closure

Set automations to reject candidates on visa, salary, or a complete skills mismatch, and every candidate is updated as a role closes. No black holes.

Links That Fit Your Timeline

Job links only expire through inactivity and the dates you set, with live updates to your team and candidates as you go.

Connect VBench to your CRM, ATS or email with API and webhook integrations, so it fits neatly into the systems you already run. No CVs are stored on the platform, and all information is deleted once the job is removed.

Pulse

Update close probability and other specifics, add notes and see actions to complete directly within your portal.

Candidate Privacy Controls

Option to hide names, emails and employers in the portal to protect candidate privacy until you are ready to connect.

Commercial Protection

With the TA Deep Search arrangement, access to the platform is free. You just pay a deposit which is deducted from your final fee. SaaS subscription options also available.

Ready to cut through the noise?

VBench is live and working for hiring teams across every industry. Screen smarter and give your team more time with the right people, while every candidate gets closure. The AI augments your recruiters, it never replaces the human.
