Category Standard

Templeton & Partners is a verified, established recruitment agency with significant revenue (approx. £21M/year confirmed via Endole, ~$26M USD) and recognized industry awards (Stevie Awards, REC Business Leader). While the submission claims a team of 350, external data suggests a core internal team of ~60-75, with the larger number likely including placed contractors. The project demonstrates high Real-World Utility and strong Evidence of Traction through verified financial scale and longevity (founded 1996). However, as a service-based business, it lacks significant Technical Innovation (scoring low on custom tech). The submission quality was mixed, containing errors (e.g., 'marketcap' for revenue) and hyperbole ('most people have used my product'), which lowered the Response Quality score. Overall, it scores highly due to proven commercial viability and scale.
