What is IntentSignals®?

A candidate-led screening platform

The application volume problem isn't going away.

Easy apply, generative AI & bulk application tools have made volume worse, not better. Recruiters are spending more time reviewing applications that were never serious and less time with the candidates who are.

IntentSignals® moves the quality filter upstream, to the moment before the application. This way, the candidates who reach your application form have actively chosen to be there.

Applications are no longer a signal of quality

The act of applying now lacks real intent, making it hard to identify quality candidates early on.

Self-selection is the fairest solution

When candidates are given honest, transparent information about a role, those who are misaligned opt out themselves - before you've invested in them.

How it works

Sitting in a unique position, between the job advert and the application form; candidates completed a 10 minute, role-specific experience. The journey gives candidates something most application processes never do: the space to decide whether this role is actually right for them.

1. Candidates explore the role honestly

Instead of landing on an application form, candidates enter a branded experience built specifically for this role. It covers values alignment, day-in-the-life realities and reflective prompts designed to drive genuine self-reflection.

2. Motivated candidates earn their Intent Code

Candidates who complete the journey receive a unique Intent Code, the key to unlocking your application. Those who realise the role isn't right for them step away before either side has wasted time.

Alex Norman, Business Psychologist & Assessment Manager

British Airways

"By exploring candidate ‘intent’, Connectr have introduced something genuinely new at a time when many organisations are struggling to find fair and reliable signals of candidate quality… This is the first innovation that’s enabled us to boost quality without adding a ‘barrier’. Candidates can make a more informed decision before applying — and those who do are already demonstrating their motivation."
