Because elite careers, deserve elite insight


Kelmi Intelligence is Sowena’s proprietary software platform designed to give finance professionals a complete picture of the businesses they’re interviewing with before they make one of the biggest decisions of their career.

Instead of relying solely on interviews and job descriptions, candidates receive exclusive, data-led insight into a company’s financial performance, leadership, culture, technology, growth plans and more.

The result?

Better-informed candidates, stronger hiring decisions and longer-lasting placements.

Watch our short explainer video to discover how Kelmi Intelligence is changing the recruitment experience for our candidates and employers.

Why we built Kelmi Intelligence

 At Sowena, transparency has always been one of our core values.


Too often, candidates accept roles without truly understanding the business they’re joining. Important information is either difficult to find or only becomes apparent after they’ve started. This can lead to high levels of attrition for a business, particularly when a candidate feels the role isn’t what they expected.

We created Kelmi Intelligence to change that.

By giving candidates access to meaningful business insight from the very beginning, we’re helping people make informed career decisions with confidence, while enabling our clients to attract candidates who genuinely align with their organisation and want to stay for the long-term.

What does Kelmi Intelligence include?

Every Kelmi Intelligence report provides valuable insight into the business behind the job advert, including:

  • Financial performance, including revenue and EBITDA trends
  • Leadership team structure and key decision makers
  • Business challenges and opportunities
  • Software and reporting systems
  • Company culture, benefits and flexible working
  • Growth plans, acquisitions and investment strategy

In short, candidates see the good, the bad and the ugly, because transparency leads to better decisions.

How it works

When a candidate is introduced to an opportunity through Sowena, they receive access to a dedicated Kelmi Intelligence report before progressing through the recruitment process.

This allows them to understand the business, prepare more effectively for interviews and decide whether the opportunity is the right long-term fit before accepting an offer.

The benefits for candidates

Kelmi Intelligence gives candidates the confidence to make career decisions based on facts, not assumptions.

With greater visibility into each opportunity, candidates can:

  • Make informed career decisions
  • Better prepare for interviews
  • Understand the business before joining
  • Join organisations with confidence

The benefits for clients

Transparency benefits employers just as much as candidates.

Candidates who fully understand a business before accepting an offer are more engaged, better aligned with company culture and far more likely to succeed in the role.

That means:

  • Better quality hires
  • Stronger cultural alignment
  • Faster onboarding
  • Improved retention
  • Long-term recruitment success

Recruitment should be transparent

Kelmi Intelligence is more than a technology platform.

It’s our commitment to doing recruitment differently.

By combining market intelligence with genuine transparency, we’re helping finance professionals make better career decisions while enabling businesses to build stronger, more committed teams.

Because when everyone has the full picture, everyone wins.
