How It Works | Aqddar

The employer journey

From request to hire, in four steps.

Brief

You tell us the role — skill set, seniority, and what a great day-one performance actually looks like for this position.

Source

We source candidates, pulled from our vetted global network and matched specifically to your role, not a generic pool.

Vet

Every candidate is vetted — live call, push-back test, reference check, and a timed writing sample, detailed below.

Hire

You interview and hire. You only meet candidates who cleared every stage — no resume pile, no wasted screening calls.

Inside the vetting call

This is the same process for every candidate, regardless of role or seniority.

Live call

Unscripted conversation, not a rehearsed intro video. We're listening for how they think out loud, not how well they memorized an answer.

Comprehension

We hand them a messy, idiom-heavy brief — the kind a real client would send — and ask them to summarize it back accurately.

Push-back

We plant a flaw in the brief. Do they catch it and say something, or nod along and build the wrong thing?

Track record

Direct call experience with US, UK, or AU clients — not just internal team messaging.

Written, timed

A client-ready email, drafted in 10 minutes. We check tone before we check grammar — grammar is easy to fix, tone isn't.

Sample — vetting call excerpt

Aqddar: "Walk me through how you'd handle a client who's unhappy with click-through rate."

Candidate: "First I'd check if the audience matched the offer — then I'd ask what 'unhappy' means to them, in numbers."
