Syl · the match
Hire engineers on what they have shipped.
Syl grades every match against your brief and shows the proof for each line, from the person's own work.
Syl · Senior Backend Engineer
Got it. I read every profile that fits and graded each on your brief. Two strong matches, one close.
Amara rebuilt a payments service that now handles three times the traffic. Want to meet them?
Against your brief
Everything a great tech recruiter does. In one conversation.
Syl briefs, finds and grades. You book and decide.
Asks the right questions
What they built, what they owned, the trade-offs they made and how they work with a team.
Both sides say yes
You only meet people who said yes.
Evidence, not keywords
Every match shows its proof.
Hire directly
They join your team. You never pay a cut of their salary.
The maths
One agency hire, or a whole year of Syl.
A typical agency fee is a percentage of first-year salary. On Sylpen you pay a monthly plan and hire as many people as you like.
Illustration only. Agency fees vary. Standard is £249 a month, or £199 a month on a 1-year plan.
Questions
What companies ask about hiring engineers.
Does Syl just match keywords?
No. Syl reads what the person built and owned, and grades it against your brief line by line. Each line shows the project or answer it came from, so you can judge the work yourself before you meet.
How does Syl grade a match?
Line by line, against the must-haves and nice-to-haves in your brief. A green line needs evidence from the person's CV, profile or answers, and each line says where it came from. Systems they built and owned are what the person told us unless Sylpen looked them up, and the profile says which. Syl recommends; you decide who to meet.
Can I hire for commission-heavy roles?
Yes. Put the base salary and any commission or bonus in your brief. Candidates see the salary before they say yes, so the conversation starts from facts.
What does it cost?
Start on Free: one UK role with every match in full, and your first 3 meetings, no card needed. Post one job free too. To meet more people and make offers, Standard is £249 a month, or £199 a month on a 1-year plan. No hiring fee, however many you hire. Monthly plans cancel any time and run to the end of the month you've paid for.
How do you keep hiring fair?
Only UK companies Sylpen has verified can see candidates, and a candidate can hide their profile from their current employer. Syl refuses criteria that would discriminate, such as age or nationality, and suggests the lawful version. Every hiring decision is made by people.
