Recruiter

Industry

Sometimes called a talent acquisition specialist. Distinct from a hiring manager — recruiters source and screen, hiring managers decide.

A recruiter is a professional whose job is to find, screen, and bring candidates to hiring teams. Internal recruiters work as employees of a single company, focused on its hiring needs. External recruiters work for staffing firms and are paid on placement, often for senior or specialised roles.

For early-career candidates, the most relevant recruiter type is the internal early-career or campus recruiter — typically responsible for graduate schemes, internships, and entry-level hiring. The candidate-facing surface for these recruiters runs through job boards, university career services, and increasingly portfolio-and-credential platforms.

On Ewance

Ewance is built for the question every recruiter eventually asks — show me what this candidate has actually shipped. A candidate's Ewance credentials let the recruiter answer that question without scheduling an interview first. The credential, deliverable, and rubric assessment are all clickable; the recruiter forms an early-funnel judgement on evidence rather than CV summary.
