Talent engine — hiring, matching & onboardingEarly access

Grove: a talent engine for teams that hire often

Hiring in growing businesses is a scramble of WhatsApp messages, CVs in inboxes and gut-feel decisions. Grove turns it into a structured, fair and fast pipeline — from job brief to first payslip.

Grove Talent Engine in short

Grove Talent Engine is a hiring and talent-matching platform by Dé Lime Tree. It helps employers and staffing teams write structured job briefs, collect applications, screen CVs with AI assistance and human review, match candidates on skills rather than keywords, schedule interviews over WhatsApp, score candidates consistently, and hand new hires to payroll and onboarding.

Features

Grow the right team, faster.

Structured job intake

Turn a vague “we need someone” into a clear brief with must-have skills and a scorecard.

AI-assisted screening

CVs parsed and summarised against the scorecard — a human always makes the call.

Skills-based matching

Match on demonstrated skills and experience, not keyword stuffing, and re-surface past applicants.

WhatsApp-first scheduling

Candidates book interview slots from a WhatsApp link — no email ping-pong.

Consistent scorecards

Every interviewer scores the same criteria, reducing bias and gut-feel hires.

Onboarding handover

Hired candidates flow into employee records and payroll (Canopy HR) without re-typing.

Who Grove is for

Retail and hospitality businesses hiring front-line staff regularly, SMEs building their first proper hiring process, and staffing and recruitment agencies placing candidates with many clients.

Responsible AI

Grove uses AI to save reading time, not to make hiring decisions. Candidates are never auto-rejected by a model, scoring criteria are visible, and candidate data is handled with consent and deleted on request.

FAQ

Grove Talent Engine — FAQs

What is a talent engine?
A talent engine is a system that manages the whole hiring flow — attracting candidates, screening, matching, interviewing and onboarding — in one place, using structured data and automation so teams hire faster and more consistently.
Does AI decide who gets hired?
No. AI summarises and highlights; people decide. Grove is designed so no candidate is rejected automatically by a model.
