What it removes

The admin around the work. All of it.

Everything your team does that isn't placing candidates.

CV screening

Every CV is scored against your role criteria in under a minute. You see the top picks first.

Interview scheduling

Calendar invites, prep docs, and rescheduling all handled. No more six-email reply chains.

Status update emails

Candidates and clients get progress updates in your voice. Drafted, not templated.

Reference checking

Reference questionnaires sent, responses chased, written up and dropped into the candidate record.

Pipeline reporting

Daily, weekly, or on-demand. Active roles, candidate stages, time-to-fill, win rate.

Onboarding admin

Offer letters drafted. Right-to-work checks tracked. First-day comms automated end to end.

A day in the life

One workflow. From inbox to pipeline report.

A typical day with the Recruitment suite running in the background.

8 am

New role lands

Scout

Brief arrives by email or Slack. Scout reads it, pulls your previous searches for similar roles, and starts sourcing while you're still on your first coffee.

9 am

Candidates sourced

Scout

Job boards, LinkedIn, your internal CV pool. Forty candidates surfaced and stored. Each one ICP-scored against the role.

10 am

Top picks ranked

Lens

Lens reads every CV. Scores against role criteria. Surfaces the top eight. You review the shortlist, not the long list.

11 am

Interviews scheduled

Booker

Booker sends Cal.com links to the eight, manages reschedules, and drops prep docs into the calendar invites.

3 pm

Status updates sent

Scribe

Candidates hear back inside the day. Clients get a written progress note. All written in your voice, not a template.

5 pm

Pipeline report drops

Trace

Active roles, candidate stages, time-to-fill trends. Sent to your inbox. You close the laptop knowing exactly where things stand.

The agents

Five agents. One workflow.

Each agent owns one piece of the job. Together they run the whole loop.

ScoutSourcing

Surfaces candidates from job boards, LinkedIn, and your internal pool. Scores each against the role ICP.

LensScreening

Reads every CV, ranks against role criteria, and explains why each candidate made the shortlist (or didn't).

BookerScheduling

Sends interview links, manages reschedules, attaches prep docs to calendar invites.

ScribeCommunications

Drafts candidate emails, status updates, role write-ups, and offer letters in your voice.

TraceReporting

Daily and weekly pipeline reports. Time-to-fill, win rate, conversion at each stage.

FAQ

Common questions.

Can we try it before committing?

Yes — start with a two-week pilot on a single live role for £149. You'll see the shortlist quality and the hours saved before choosing a monthly tier, and the £149 is credited in full to your setup when you convert.

Do you integrate with our ATS?

On Full Stack we build a direct integration so candidates and scores write back into the ATS your team already uses (Bullhorn, Vincere, JobAdder and similar), wired up during your setup week. On Core and Growth your pipeline lives in a dedicated, access-controlled Airtable workspace we manage for you.

How long does setup take?

One to two weeks for Starter and Growth. Two to four weeks for Full Stack where custom agents are involved. Onboarding is included.

Can we customise the agent prompts?

From Growth tier upward. We tune Scribe's voice to match your house style and Lens's scoring to match your hiring criteria.

What if we already use HubSpot or Salesforce?

We work alongside your existing stack rather than replacing it. On Full Stack the agents write back into your CRM/ATS so your team works where they always have; on Core and Growth your candidate data lives in the dedicated Airtable workspace we manage for you.

What about GDPR and candidate data?

Each client gets a dedicated, access-controlled Airtable base that we manage on your behalf — your candidates are never co-mingled with another client's. On Full Stack, data can write into your own ATS instead. We act as your data processor under a DPA, with defined retention and deletion, and the audit covers data handling on day one.
