How Sieve works

From finance brief to direct connection.

Sieve brings the work a business needs together with finance professionals who have the right capability, availability and working preferences.

For businesses

1. Build a finance brief

Describe the role, responsibilities, systems, experience, working pattern, location, availability and budget.

2. Understand your matches

Review anonymised profiles ranked by fit. See the evidence behind the match and any important gaps.

3. Create a shortlist

Compare the professionals you want to explore and send them an anonymised connection request.

4. Connect using credits

One credit is reserved for each request. If a professional accepts, the credit is used and both parties receive contact details. If they decline or the request expires, the credit returns to your balance.

5. Take it from there

Discuss the opportunity, carry out your own checks and agree any engagement directly.

For finance professionals

1. Build your profile

Create it yourself or upload a CV to generate a draft that you review before publishing.

2. Complete your assessment

Demonstrate capability for the finance roles you want to offer.

3. Set your preferences

Choose your availability, rate, location and working pattern.

4. Review connection requests

See an anonymised finance brief and decide whether you want to meet the business.

5. Connect directly

Accept a relevant request and exchange details through Sieve.

A Sieve match is a relevance signal, not a guarantee. Businesses remain responsible for their own due diligence and both parties decide whether an engagement is right for them.
