The UK’s Leading Skills & Aspiration Matching Platform
Built for recruiters who are done sifting through irrelevant CVs, and professionals who are done sending them.
Built for recruiters who are done sifting through irrelevant CVs, and professionals who are done sending them.
describe.me was founded in 2024 with a simple conviction: the best hires happen when skills meet aspiration. Traditional recruitment matches people on where they’ve been. We match on where they’re going.
For professionals, our absolute core mission is career empowerment — enabling ambitious people to attract their dream career moves without the soul-destroying cycle of endless applications and silence. Fill in one form, upload a CV, tell us what you want. We do the rest.
For recruiters, we solve the engagement problem. Every candidate on our platform has a clearly defined aspiration alongside their skills. That combination — motivation and ability — is what drives performance. No spam applications. No candidates going through the motions. Just authentic, pre-qualified professionals whose goals align with your roles from day one.
Your data stays yours. It is never shared without express permission, and only ever in relation to a specific role. We don’t sell your attention. We don’t harvest your data. The platform works for its users, not advertisers.
Even genuine skills are worthless without engagement. Priority is given to professional aspirations over history, guaranteeing that matched candidates are motivated from day one.
Personal data is never shared without express permission, and only in relation to a specified role. Your employer will never know you’re here. We don’t sell attention or harvest data.
Our semantic vector matching surfaces talent based on potential and intent, not just keywords. But every decision — who to contact, interview, hire — stays with people.
Professionals shouldn’t spend hours searching for roles. Recruiters shouldn’t screen hundreds of irrelevant CVs. Both sides deserve better — and now they have it.
Recruiters see exact costs before committing. Candidates know precisely when and how their data is shared. No hidden fees. No surprises. No games.
Our primary mission is empowering professionals in their careers. The best candidates attract the best roles. Everything we build starts from that principle.
Traditional recruitment platforms match on keywords — if your CV says “project manager” and the role says “project manager”, it’s a match. This misses career changers, ambitious professionals ready to step up, and anyone whose potential exceeds their job title.
describe.me uses semantic vector matching to understand the meaning behind skills, experience, and — critically — aspirations. When a professional tells us they want to move from finance into product management, our matching understands why that transition makes sense and finds roles where that ambition is valued.
The result: candidates who are matched on both capability and motivation. Recruiters get engaged professionals who genuinely want the role. Professionals get approached for careers they actually aspire to, not just roles they’ve already done.
Whether you’re a professional looking for your next career move, or a recruiter searching for engaged talent — describe.me was built for you.
