Plenty of Applications. Very Few Right Candidates.
A single vacancy can easily attract dozens or even hundreds of applications. On paper that looks like strong interest. In practice most of them don’t fit what you asked for.
Someone still has to read every CV to find the few worth an interview. Recruiters know the feeling: 67% say a lack of quality candidates is their biggest hiring challenge.

The Wrong Hire Costs More Than a Salary
74% of employers have hired the wrong person for a position.
When it happens, you pay twice. First in onboarding and lost productivity. Then again when you have to start the search over. Replacing an employee can cost more than 30% of their annual salary. In a small team, everyone feels it.
More CVs won’t solve this. Better matches will.
Start with Candidates Who Fit the Role
Candyees is a South African AI recruitment platform built on quality over quantity. ULTRA MATCH ai compares your job profile with candidate profiles on the criteria you set, then shows you the people who match. You still make the final call on who to interview and hire.
Matched on skills, experience, location and culture fit, so you start with people who suit the role.
Matched on the Criteria That Matter to You
Matching looks at skills and experience, industry and level, location preferences and indicators of culture and personality fit. The more detail you put into your job profile, the better your matches.
Culture and Personality Fit
Candyees adds personality information to your matches. It’s an important indicator of job satisfaction and productivity, so you can look beyond what’s on the CV.
Your Questions, Your Requirements
Ask your own qualifying questions or use templates: yes/no, true/false, multiple choice or written answers. Your questions can be set as a matching requirement. Tasks have a time limit and no copy and paste, which helps keep answers honest.
Relevance, Not Promotion
No candidate is pushed up your list for any reason other than how well they match your role. Only matched candidates can apply. You decide who to invite.

Pay for What Adds Value to Your Hiring
Candyees uses credits.
For a small or growing business, avoiding even one bad hire can easily cover the cost of using a platform like Candyees.
For current pricing, get in touch using the form.
You buy credits and they’re used as you go, with itemised fees for the interactions that add value to your hiring.
If you don’t find any strong candidates, you only pay the basic listing fee.
Team and communication tools are included with no licence paywall.
The result is that you’ll likely pay less per position than on other job sites.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Candyees decide which candidates match my role?
You complete an employer profile and a job profile for each listing. ULTRA MATCH ai analyses that information alongside candidate profiles, looking at skills and experience, industry and level, location preferences and culture and personality fit. The more specific, honest and detailed your profiles are, the better your matches.
How accurate is ULTRA MATCH ai ?
No matching system can promise 100% accuracy, but that’s what Candyees aims for. The more detail you give in your job profile, the better your matches. If a match isn’t suitable, you can report it for review.
What does culture and personality fit mean?
Alongside skills and experience, Candyees gives you personality information about matched candidates. It’s an important indicator of job satisfaction and productivity, which helps you choose people who suit your team as well as the role.
Can I screen candidates before I interview them?
Yes. Add tasks to any listing, from application questions to detailed questions on skills, experience or cultural expectations. Templates include yes/no, true/false, multiple choice and written answers.
How do I know candidates’ answers are their own?
You can write your own questions instead of using templates. Each task also has a time limit and copy and paste is switched off, which helps curb dishonesty.
Where do the candidates come from?
Candyees matches you with candidates from its own database and from other job sites.
Is Candyees a recruitment agency?
No. Candyees is an online platform that matches employers with candidates. It doesn’t make hiring decisions on your behalf. You choose who to invite, who to interview and who to hire.
How much does Candyees cost?
Employers buy credits that are used as you go, with itemised fees for value-adding interactions with candidates. If you don’t find any strong candidates, you only pay the basic listing fee. Get in touch for current pricing.
Do candidates pay to apply?
