AI-powered recruitment for technology teams — India & worldwide
Why Dilectus
How We Differ
Most hiring feels like a numbers game. Here's what we do differently — and the specific problems each difference solves.
The Difference
The old way vs. the Dilectus way
Built only for technology roles
Generalist agencies and job boards spread across every industry, with limited depth in tech hiring.
We recruit exclusively for software, data, cloud, AI, and engineering leadership — so our screening reflects what actually matters for these roles.
Consistent, automatic screening
Manual resume review is slow, inconsistent, and doesn't scale past a handful of applicants.
Every application is scored in seconds against the job's must-have, preferred, and optional skills, plus experience and resume format.
Credit for related & transferable skills
Basic keyword-matching ATS tools reject strong candidates just because they used GCP instead of AWS, or Vue instead of React.
Our Pro AI analysis recognizes genuinely related and transferable skills, while still applying a strict, evidence-based standard.
Transparent scoring for candidates
Candidates rarely learn why they weren't shortlisted, or how their resume stacks up.
Our free Resume Checker shows your match score, a skill-by-skill breakdown, and specific suggestions to improve — before you apply.
Qualification Check — what actually matters
Employers waste time reviewing resumes from candidates who don't meet basic expectations on salary, notice period, or a key qualifier.
Every applicant shares current/expected CTC and notice period, and employers can add custom qualification questions answered up front.
Always free for candidates
Some recruiters charge job seekers for "premium" placement or resume services.
Dilectus is completely free for candidates, always. Pro resume analysis can be unlocked with an access code provided by a partner employer.

Our Commitment
What you can count on, in writing
Success-based pricing
Pay just 10% of the candidate's annual CTC — and only once they're hired. No retainers, no upfront fees.
90-day replacement guarantee
If a placed candidate doesn't work out within 90 days of joining, we'll source a replacement at no extra cost.
Always free for candidates
Dilectus never charges job seekers — for applications, screening, or Pro resume analysis unlocked via an employer's access code.
One dashboard for everything
Manage your postings, review qualification-checked and skills-assessed candidates, and log interview feedback — all from your client dashboard.
AI/ATS screening is advisory only
Our scoring helps you focus on the right candidates faster, but every hiring decision remains entirely yours.
These terms are part of our standard Talent Sourcing Services Agreement, which every client e-signs when posting a job.
