The problem

The call ends. The admin begins.

All the admin is time no one is paying for. Consultants should be billing, not typing.

It is such a labour and time intensive process. Last February we gave people a list of about 12,000 candidates, and they might have got through 2,000 of those in a full working week, by calling and emailing them.

Where the hours go

Every hour on admin is an hour not spent on the work that pays.

Bringing in new business. Advising a client, and building the relationship that brings the next search. Qualifying candidates and deciding who to put forward.

Admin burns people out. Your best consultants leave over paperwork, not over clients.

The nuance gets lost. What a candidate actually said on the call goes into a head, not a record, and never gets shared.

And none of it scales. Twice the searches means twice the typing.

What it costs

The small automations are the ones that would help most, and the ones nobody hires for.

Finding the person, explaining the job, checking the work: it costs more than the work. Inside the business, nobody has done it properly before.

Freelancers haven't grown with your business, and the MD is already the unofficial CTO.

And in the back of your mind: my team isn't ready for change.

Why it is hard to fix alone

We build around the way your team already works, one job at a time.

You don't need to teach us how recruitment works.

The biggest sceptics become the strongest ambassadors, because the tool fits, not because anyone told them to.

Each fix lands in your CRM, in your format, with a consultant signing off before a client sees anything.

Even the small things we fix pay back. Short-term implementation, long-term return.
