Find your role

Hiring a care assistant and hiring a mobile app developer have almost nothing in common — different questions, different gates, different things a CV can't tell you. Pick yours and see how Selene handles it.

Software & Engineering7 roles

Small applicant pools, enormous variance in depth, and a CV format that rewards listing tools over having used them properly.

All software & engineering hiring →

Backend EngineerTwelve technologies listed. No way to tell which ones they've actually run. DevOps / Platform EngineerEveryone lists the same eight tools. Almost nobody describes an incident. Frontend EngineerA portfolio that looks good and a CV that lists everything. Neither says who made the decisions. Full-Stack DeveloperThe title everyone claims. Almost nobody is equally good at both halves. IT Support TechnicianTwo hundred and sixty applicants, and the filter everyone reaches for removes the best of them. Mobile App DeveloperEveryone has an App Store link. It tells you almost nothing. QA / Test EngineerManual and automation are different jobs. The CVs blur them on purpose.

Data & Product5 roles

Job titles that mean five different things depending on the company, which is exactly what makes the requirements conversation worth having.

Data AnalystTwo populations, identical CVs: people who answer questions and people who run queries. Data EngineerThe same eight tools on every CV, and nothing about what any of them were carrying. Product AnalystOne title covering everything from SQL monkey to strategy partner. Product ManagerEvery CV led, drove and owned. Almost none of them say what they killed. UX / UI DesignerThe CV is not the artefact. The portfolio is — and it only ever shows the wins.

Customer Support & Success4 roles

High volume, thin CVs, and the things that actually predict success — patience, clarity, judgment under pressure — barely appear on paper.

Contact Centre AgentFour hundred and fifty applications, and the rota answers seventy per cent of them. Customer Success ManagerA job title barely a decade old, and no two companies mean the same thing by it. Customer Support AgentThree hundred applicants, two-line CVs, and the real signal isn't on any of them. Technical Support EngineerTwo incompatible skills in one job, and CVs that always foreground the wrong one.

Sales & Marketing7 roles

Every CV claims the same outcomes. The difference is whether the numbers, the cycle and the market match the job you're hiring for.

Account Executive (B2B)Everyone hit quota. The number that matters is the one nobody puts on a CV. Account ManagerGrowing an account and keeping it warm read identically. They are not the same job. Content Writer / CopywriterThe samples decide it, and the CV is barely relevant. So screen the writing. Digital / Performance MarketerROAS figures with no spend attached. The scale is the signal, and it is almost never stated. Marketing ExecutiveA generalist title hiding five completely different skill mixes. Sales Development RepresentativeEveryone hit quota. Almost nobody says on what, or how. Social Media ManagerFollower counts are the most reliable false positive in marketing.

Finance, Legal & Admin7 roles

Qualification-gated at the top, drowning in applicants at the bottom, and the same job title covers wildly different levels of responsibility.

All finance, legal & admin hiring →

BookkeeperTen years' experience that might mean ten years of the same three tasks. Finance ManagerThe qualification cuts eighty-five down to thirty. Then the thirty look identical. HR Administrator / GeneralistUsually the first HR hire, which means the job is everything and the CV is one thing. Office Manager / EAFour hundred applications, and the job is defined almost entirely by what nobody notices. Paralegal / Legal AssistantSpecialism gates are real here — and applied far more widely than they need to be. Payroll AdministratorA small error rate, an enormous error cost, and one day a month when it all lands. Recruiter / Talent PartnerHiring the person whose job is hiring. Placements made tell you almost nothing.

Health & Care7 roles

Regulated, high-volume, and high-consequence. Eligibility is absolute, values matter more than experience, and the pile is enormous.

All health & care hiring →

Care AssistantTwo hundred applicants, hard eligibility rules, and no time to read any of it. Dental NurseA tiny local pool, a registration gate, and a practice manager hiring alone between patients. Domiciliary Care WorkerGeography does the filtering. A brilliant carer forty minutes away is no use to a 7am call. Healthcare AssistantTwo hundred and ten applicants for a clinical role where the job is noticing before the numbers do. Pharmacy Assistant / DispenserFour hundred identical tasks a day, and the one that matters is the one that looks wrong. Registered NurseTwenty-five applicants, an absolute registration gate, and a process that loses people by being slow. Veterinary NurseThirty-five applicants, a registration gate, and a job that ends careers through burnout.

Education & Childcare3 roles

Ratio-critical, qualification-gated and safeguarding-bound, with hundreds of applicants for roles that cannot go unfilled.

Nursery PractitionerRatio-critical, qualification-gated, and the vacancy cannot stay open. SEN / Learning Support AssistantSpecific experience matters enormously here, and reads on paper as a generic phrase. Teaching AssistantThree hundred and forty applications, and they nearly all arrive in the same week.

Hospitality & Retail6 roles

Availability is often the real filter, CVs are thin by nature, and you're usually hiring while already short-staffed.

All hospitality & retail hiring →

Café / Restaurant SupervisorUsually a promotion, occasionally a hire, and the CVs tell you almost nothing either way. Chef / CookJob titles mean nothing across kitchens. Covers and section do. Hotel ReceptionistThe night shift is a different job, and the same advert hires for both. Retail Sales AssistantThree hundred and eighty applications, most arriving in October, and availability decides most of it. Retail Store ManagerA famous logo on the CV, and no way to tell what they actually ran. Waiting / Front of House StaffAvailability is not part of the screening. It is the screening.

Logistics, Trades & Facilities4 roles

Licences and certifications are hard gates, volume is relentless, and reliability beats almost everything else.

Cleaner / Facilities OperativeFour hundred and twenty applications and almost no CV differentiation at all. Delivery DriverLicence class, points and insurance age settle it before anyone reads a CV. HGV / LGV DriverThirty applicants, four absolute legal gates, and every good one has another offer. Warehouse OperativeTwo hundred and fifty applicants, and shift availability decides most of it.
