An ATS
that works the way agencies do.
Candidate database, AI CV parsing, vacancy pipelines, drag-and-drop placement tracking, commission reporting. Built for agencies that recruit on behalf of client companies - not a job-board bolt-on.
Source, submit, place - in one tool.
Candidate database
Every candidate a first-class record - skills, salary expectation, notice period, availability, work eligibility. Search by anything.
AI CV parsing
Drop a CV in any format. We extract the summary, skills, experience timeline and education automatically - skills chips populate themselves.
Vacancy pipelines
Sourced, screened, submitted, interviewing, offer, placed. Drag candidates between stages. Every move logged with who and when.
Jobs board
Vacancies grouped by status - open, on-hold, filled, cancelled. Each card shows the client, salary band, fee and pipeline count.
Placement + commission tracking
Place a candidate and the fee auto-calculates from the vacancy terms. Track invoice status from pending to paid.
Client companies
Vacancies link to the client company in your CRM. One record spans the buy side and the sell side of the desk.
Recruitment is not a silo.
A candidate can also be a CRM contact. A client is a company you already track. Placements feed commission reporting. The recruitment desk sits inside the same platform as your sales pipeline - not stapled on beside it.
- Candidate ↔ contact linkOptionally link a candidate to a CRM contact - one person, both sides of the desk.
- Search the whole poolFilter candidates by skill, availability and salary band - find the shortlist in seconds.
- Fees that calculate themselvesPercentage or fixed. Set it on the vacancy once - every placement does the maths.
