Eastern Ontario Talent

Human-Led Technical Screening. Done Right.

The Problem

Hiring for technical roles has become noisy.• Job postings attract dozens (sometimes hundreds) of resumes
• Automated screening favors keywords over real capability
• Technical managers lose time reviewing applicationsGood candidates get missed.

What We Do

Eastern Ontario Talent provides human-led screening of technical candidates before interviews begin.Resumes are reviewed the way experienced technical managers read them:• Practical capability over buzzwords
• Real experience over keyword matches
• Evidence of results, not word saladYou receive a focused shortlist — not another stack of resumes.The outcome: strong technical candidates reach your team — without the noise.

How It Works

First Human Pass — Resume Screening• Human review of all applications for a specific technical role
• Consistent evaluation against job-related criteria:
     • Qualifications
     • Skills
     • Experience
     • Communication
     • Evidence of results
• Did they actually do the work, or just sit near it?
• Were they responsible, or just “involved”?
• Can they explain what went wrong and what they fixed?Buzzwords don’t matter. Reality does.Top candidates get short, practical calls:• “Walk me through that startup.”
• “What broke first?”
• “What were you responsible for?”If they can’t answer clearly, they don’t move on.You receive:• 2–4 candidates worth interviewing
• Straight notes — no sales talk
• Clear flags where something feels thinYour engineers talk to people who belong in the room.
