ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE, UK, 29 September 2026
Every day, up and down the country, businesses lose thousands of hours to hiring processes. Ashton-under-Lyne-based Renari Assessment says it does not have to be this way.
A new Tameside-born business has launched this week, taking aim at one of the most frustrating and time-consuming parts of hiring: interviews. Renari Assessment Ltd, known as Renari, has introduced its new Interviewing-as-a-Service model, offering structured interviews on behalf of employers, led by founder Jennifer Jackson and delivered with a growing network of experienced recruitment professionals, career advisors and technical specialists who work with Renari on a project basis.
Each candidate is assessed against the same criteria and scored across the core competencies tailored to the role, drawn from a bank of structured criteria built for the position. Every score is supported by written evidence of what the candidate actually said or demonstrated during the interview, giving employers a tangible way to compare evidence rather than impressions. Specialist technical and industry-specific assessments are carried out by technical specialists and senior professionals in their field, brought in for that project.
Reports are returned to employers within 24 hours of the interview. Candidates receive written feedback within the same timeframe, regardless of whether they progress.
"I built Renari because I could see there was a gap in the market. Businesses are struggling to keep their interview process fair and structured, and they are looking for new ways to reduce bias. Candidates need the kind of advice Renari gives them," says Jennifer Jackson, founder of Renari. "Beyond what we provide to businesses and candidates, I want to build a human-led business that relies on the talent of the people in it. We intend to be outcomes focused, and to give people a safe and interesting place to grow their careers."
The company does not decide who reaches the shortlist, does not use AI to score or screen applicants, does not share interview recordings beyond Renari and the client and does not make the final hiring decision. In simple terms, the business describes its role as: "We do the interviewing. You do the hiring."
"One of the biggest challenges in cyber security is finding the right people. Having spent many years building and leading cyber teams, I've seen first-hand how important it is to look beyond someone's CV and job title," says Robbie Tyrie, founder of Torridon Cyber. "Technical knowledge is important, but so are problem-solving, curiosity, communication and the ability to think critically. Renari's approach to structured, evidence-based interviewing is a welcome step towards helping organisations recognise talent and giving capable people opportunities they might otherwise miss."
"Jennifer has worked incredibly hard to bring Renari to life. It is really exciting to see that work become a business and launch here in Tameside," says Chloe Jackson, who has supported the launch.
Businesses currently hiring, planning to recruit or simply spending too much time interviewing are invited to speak to Renari about how Interviewing-as-a-Service could fit into their hiring process. To find out more, visit renariassessment.com.
