All About Your Profile, Matches and How Perspectv Works

Perspectv is a modern, user-friendly recruitment platform designed to help job seekers connect directly with employers quickly and easily. At Perspectv, we believe that finding a job shouldn’t be about endless searching—it should be about finding a role that truly fits you. With our smart matching system, we connect you directly with opportunities that align with your skills, experience, job preferences and career goals.

No more scrolling through endless job listings or applying to irrelevant roles—just personalised matches that help you discover your best fit. 

Perspectv automatically matches you to jobs based on your skills, experience and interests.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Create a Profile: Tell us about your skills, experience, and the kind of job you’re looking for.
  2. Upload Your CV: Your CV helps us learn more about your background and what you can offer.
  3. Smart Matching: Our system looks for jobs that fit your profile and sends them your way.
  4. Get Connected: When you get a match, simply hit the thumbs up button if you’re interested. We’ll notify the employer, and if they’re interested too, you can connect directly with them.

It’s a quick and simple way to find jobs that fit you, without the hassle of having to hunt around and submit endless applications.

Yes, Perspectv is completely free for job seekers. You can create a profile, upload your CV, and get matched with jobs without any cost. There’s no fee to register or be matched with potential employers. However, if you want to increase your visibility, you have the option to boost your profile for a one-time fee of £8.99, which helps you get noticed by more employers.

Creating a profile on Perspectv is quick and easy. Just follow these steps:

  1. Sign Up: Go to the Perspectv website and click on the sign-up button.
  2. Fill in Your Details: Enter basic information like your name, email, and password to create an account.
  3. Complete Your Profile: Add your work experience, skills, and the type of job you’re looking for.
  4. Upload Your CV: Upload your CV so employers can see your qualifications and experience.
  5. Start Matching: Once your profile is complete, Perspectv will begin matching you with jobs that fit your skills.

It’s that simple! After your profile is set up, you’ll receive job matches and can select the ones you’re interested in, directly through the platform.

We won’t release any of your personal information to an employer without your knowledge or consent. When your profile is shown to an employer as a potential match, they will see your profile picture, first name, location, current job title, and a matching percentage—our calculated opinion of how well you fit the role. Employers will also see a brief elevator pitch and details like your desired job role and salary expectations. It’s then up to them to decide if they want to connect with you.

You don’t need to search and apply for jobs with Perspectv—our smart system does the searching for you. Here’s how it works: new jobs are added to the platform daily. When a new job is posted, our matching algorithm runs automatically. If you match the job’s requirements, we’ll create a match and notify both you and the employer. From there, you can decide if you want to connect.

Yes, all jobs on Perspectv are real. We work directly with employers who post genuine job openings on our platform. 

Yes, once a match is made on Perspectv and both you and the hiring manager show mutual interest, you can message them directly through the platform. This ensures that only when both sides are interested can communication begin, allowing for a smooth and direct exchange.

Yes, our personality assessment is quick and easy—it’s a four-part question built into the registration process and only takes a couple of minutes to complete. It helps us understand your strengths, work style and how well you’ll fit into certain roles or company cultures. By adding this layer, we can match you with jobs that not only fit your experience but also align with your personality, giving you a better chance of finding a role where you can truly thrive.

Yes, adding a CV to your Perspectv profile is highly recommended. It helps showcase your experience and skills to potential employers, increasing your chances of getting matched with the right jobs.

Looking ahead, we’re working on moving from traditional CVs to more advanced digital profiles that are interactive, up-to-date and give a better overview of your unique skills and personal attributes. Stay tuned for these exciting changes!

If we have jobs on our platform that match your profile, you’ll get matches in seconds. If not, it may take a little longer.

It’s completely normal to not receive job matches right away – it just means we haven’t found the perfect role for you yet! New opportunities are added to Perspectv every day, and we’ll notify you as soon as a suitable match comes through. Stay patient; the right job is on its way!

Rest assured, we won’t leave you in the dark! When a match is made, we’ll send you a notification right away. You can check out the job details and decide if it’s a good fit. To move forward, just hit the thumbs up 👍 or thumbs down 👎 button, and we’ll let the hiring manager know. It’s that simple!

Yes, you can enhance your Perspectv profile to increase your chances of being matched with the right opportunities. Here are a few tips to help you stand out:

Ways to Enhance Your Profile:

  1. Complete Your Profile: Ensure all sections are filled in, including your skills, experience, and job preferences.
  2. Upload a Strong CV: A well-organised CV that highlights your key skills and achievements can make a big difference.
  3. Add Relevant Skills: Make sure you include specific skills that match the types of jobs you’re seeking.
  4. Boost Your Profile: Job seekers have the option to pay a one-off fee of £8.99 to boost their profile. Boosted profiles get 10.3x more views than standard profiles and let employers know you’re serious about finding a role.

Boosting your profile is an easy way to increase visibility and improve your chances of being noticed by employers.

Perspectv’s profile boosting function works in a similar way to boosting on Tinder, but with a one-time fee of £8.99.

Once activated, your profile becomes more visible to employers, increasing your chances of getting more matches.

All About Your Profile, Matches and How Perspectv Works

Perspectv is a smart platform that connects employers directly with qualified candidates. Instead of relying on job boards or expensive recruitment agencies, our goal is to help you find and connect with people who are a great fit for your company and role—quickly and efficiently.

We’re on a mission to revolutionise the way employers and candidates find and connect for work, making the process simpler, faster, and more efficient for everyone involved. The recruitment industry is ripe for innovation, and we’re ready to lead the way.

Perspectv works in three simple steps:

  1. Post Jobs for Free: Employers create job listings with their requirements, and candidates do the same with their profiles.

  2. Smart Matching: Our technology matches job listings with candidates who meet the skills, experience, and preferences outlined.

  3. Connect Directly: Employers review matches and pay a small, flat fee of £35 to connect with candidates they’re interested in. Once connected, they can communicate directly, download CVs, and proceed with hiring.

It’s the fastest, easiest and most affordable way to find candidates in the UK.

Perspectv is not a recruitment agency—we’re the smarter alternative.

  • Cost: Unlike agencies that charge 15-30% of a hire’s annual salary, Perspectv charges a flat £35 per candidate connection, saving businesses thousands of pounds.

  • Control: With agencies, you rely on a middleman. Perspectv empowers employers to take control of hiring by connecting directly with candidates who meet their needs.

  • Speed: Agencies can take weeks (sometimes months) to find candidates; Perspectv’s smart technology delivers high-quality matches quickly, allowing employers to review and connect with talent in hours.

We give employers direct access to the talent market without the delays, fees, or dependency on recruiters.

Registering, creating a profile, posting jobs and getting matches on Perspectv is all completely free for employers.

You only pay for the matching candidates you want to meet. 

Here’s how it works:

  • Free Job Postings: Employers can post unlimited job openings at no cost.

  • Flat Connection Fee: When you choose to connect with a matched candidate, there’s a flat fee of £35 per connection. This fee grants full access to the candidate’s profile and the ability to initiate communication.

This transparent approach eliminates high recruitment fees, making the hiring process more affordable and efficient for businesses of all sizes.

Job boards have millions of users, which is why you often get flooded with hundreds (or even thousands) of irrelevant applications.

We use the same channels to find candidates, but the difference is our smart system filters out unsuitable applications and matches you with people who truly fit your role. This way, you only see candidates who are a great match, saving you time and effort.

Absolutely! You can create online job posts on Perspectv to advertise open positions at your company and it’s completely free. In fact, you can create and share as many job openings as you need.

Who can use this feature?

Anyone can use this feature to advertise their jobs. Whether you’re looking to fill a single position, multiple roles, temp placement or remote job, Perspectv caters to your needs. You can even keep roles open to build a steady flow of talent.

You’ll only ever see candidates who match your requirements and you only pay for the ones you want to meet.

Posting a job on Perspectv is quick and simple. Here’s how you do it:

After posting, Perspectv’s smart system will start matching your job with suitable candidates.

Perspectv uses a multi-channel approach to source candidates. We’re connected to major job boards, so your job posts reach a broad audience. In addition, we run extensive digital and social media marketing campaigns to attract active and passive job seekers. This ensures your roles are seen by the right candidates, increasing the chances of finding the best match for your needs.

Here’s where we stand out: Instead of drowning you in endless applications, our smart algorithm filters candidates and selects only those who truly fit your job criteria. This way, you skip the clutter and focus on reviewing the best matches, saving you time and effort.

You’ll be notified as soon as a candidate matches your job posting. Perspectv sends timely updates to ensure you’re aware of new matches, allowing you to review and act on them quickly. Notifications will include key details about the candidates, so you can assess their fit before deciding to connect.

Once matches are found, you’ll receive notifications with details about the candidates, including their skills and experience. You can review these profiles and decide if you’d like to connect. If you choose to proceed, you pay a flat £35 connection fee per candidate. After connecting, you’ll gain full access to their profile, allowing you to message them directly and take the next steps in your hiring process.

Once you’ve chosen to connect with a matched candidate by paying the £35 connection fee, you’ll gain direct access to their full profile. This includes their contact information and messaging options, enabling you to communicate with them directly through the platform to discuss the role, schedule interviews, or proceed with your hiring process.

After connecting, you gain full access to the candidate’s profile and contact details. You can review their CV, initiate direct communication, and discuss the role further. From there, it’s up to you to arrange interviews or take the next steps in your hiring process. Perspectv provides the match; you manage the rest.

With Perspectv, you can receive relevant candidate matches quickly, often within seconds, minutes or hours of posting a job. Our smart algorithm continuously works behind the scenes to find and connect you with candidates who fit your criteria. The speed of results depends on the complexity of the role and available candidates, but you’ll start receiving “HIGHER QUALITY” matches a lot faster than traditional methods.⏰⏰

If matches are unsuitable, you can simply decline them. At Perspectv, you’re not obligated to connect with every match. Our platform focuses on quality over quantity, so you can:

  1. Refine Job Criteria: Update your job post to improve match accuracy.
  2. Review New Matches: As our platform constantly updates, new candidates may appear who better align with your requirements.
  3. Pay Only for Connections: You only incur costs for candidates you choose to connect with, ensuring you’re not tied to unsuitable matches.

This ensures you maintain full control over the hiring process without unnecessary expenses.

If you haven’t received any matches yet, don’t worry – our algorithm is hard at work. It’s sifting through thousands of potential candidates to pinpoint the ones that perfectly align with your requirements. We continuously market and promote your jobs through our digital and distribution channels, ensuring new candidates are always being introduced to your opportunities. Once the matching process kicks into gear and the right candidates emerge, we’ll notify you immediately.

Rest assured, we’re working to find the best fits for you and you’ll only ever pay for the candidates you want to meet.

Refining job matches on Perspectv is simple and gives you greater control over the quality of candidates you see. Here’s how you can improve your matches:

  2. Adjust Criteria: Modify location preferences, work type (e.g., remote, in-office), or role specifics to attract more aligned matches.

  3. Focus on Priorities: Identify the most critical aspects of your role, such as essential skills or industry experience, and highlight these in your posting.

Our platform dynamically adjusts based on your inputs, ensuring you consistently receive more suitable matches over time.

Absolutely, once you’ve paid the profile fee, you gain access to view and download the candidate’s CV directly on Perspectv. Looking ahead, we anticipate a shift from traditional paper profiles to more advanced digital profiles that offer comprehensive, up-to-date, interactive and easily accessible information.
