01
Scoping Call
We start with a focused scoping call to understand your context, not just the job title. We align on the problem you are trying to solve, the outcomes you care about, and the constraints you are working with so we know exactly who you need and how fast.
During the scoping call
Run a structured intake to capture goals, success metrics, and risks.
Map the current team, key stakeholders and how decisions are made.
Define the role profile, must-have skills, nice-to-haves and culture markers to feed into our platform.
Agree the hiring route and timelines, including options for remote and on-site
Your outcome from this step
A clear written search brief that reflects your real context, not a generic job description.
A recommended hiring plan, including target markets, sourcing mix and interview flow.
A named Calimala Talent Partner as your single point of contact and communication cadence.
An early view on rates, budget scenarios and trade-offs so there are no surprises later.

Shortlisting & Evaluation
With a clear brief in place, we switch on our AI evaluation engine and human panel. We rank candidates not only on skills and tools, but on how well they fit your systems, team dynamics and delivery constraints.
How we build the shortlist
Our AI engine builds an initial longlist by matching profiles to your role graph, tech stack and constraints.
Senior Data and AI leads review experience for evidence of real delivery at scale, not just PoCs or certificates.
Structured pre-screening calls are run by practitioners who have worked in data and engineering teams. We test the substance behind the CV and how candidates explain their work.
We run risk checks on rate, availability, notice period and time zone so hidden blockers surface early.
Decision material for your team
Access to a client portal where you can browse the shortlist, open full profiles and choose who you want to interview.
Transparent scoring that shows how each candidate ranks across skills, delivery track record and culture.
360° candidate reports with strengths, development areas, cultural fit and growth potential, supported by structured scorecards.
A concise summary of rate, availability, location and key constraints so your team can align quickly on next steps.
