Specialist recruitment platforms
Candidates in post do not apply on a public site. We build platforms where candidate anonymity is the core feature.

Proof
The work that proves it
Platforms and sites in production, viewable online. No mockups, no invented clients.
The problem with general-purpose platforms
A candidate currently in post cannot put their CV on a public site: their employer will see it, and so will their colleagues. The best profiles in a market are therefore exactly the ones not visible on it.
Conversely, a specialist recruiter looks for precise skills that a general platform's volume drowns out. Sorting a thousand irrelevant applications costs more than receiving only ten relevant ones.
What we have built
Skillio is a recruitment platform dedicated to accountancy and finance roles. The profile is visible by skills, experience level and region, with no name or employer: the candidate stays anonymous until they accept an introduction. On the recruiter side, access is structured by role category and gated behind a subscription.

Why us
What sets us apart
Four commitments that hold over time, not four slogans.
100% code, zero proprietary platform
No WordPress, no Shopify, no page builder. Your product is written in TypeScript, documented and version-controlled — the repository is yours from day one, and you are locked in to nobody.
Products, not brochures
User accounts, recurring subscriptions, messaging, gated access, payments: we have shipped five platforms running with real paying customers behind them.
Regulated sectors
Insurance broking, accountancy firms, real estate, financial recruitment. We know the data confidentiality, role-based access and domain constraints these professions carry.
Multilingual by default
FR · EN · ES. Internationalisation is built into the architecture, not bolted on as a plugin six months later — essential in Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How do you ensure an employer cannot recognise their employee?
By masking everything identifying by default — name, current employer, exact job title, sometimes the town — and letting the candidate choose what they expose. The anonymity threshold is configurable according to how narrow the market is.
Can the platform connect to our ATS?
Yes. We integrate applicant tracking systems that expose an API, and provide a structured export otherwise. The aim is to avoid double entry, which is the main reason recruitment tools get abandoned.
