Key Concept: Every placement you source from your own candidate database rather than a job board improves your margins. We will help you keep your candidates engaged and reachable through your own branded mobile app. Our goal is to improve margin per placement, reduce time-to-shortlist, and stand out in a crowded market.
The Business Case
SME agencies typically spend 10% of annual revenues on external sourcing platforms. For an agency billing £500,000 per year, that is £50,000 spent on job boards, CV databases, and LinkedIn. This spend comes directly off your margin.
Research from recruitment software provider Firefish found 34% of applications for agency-listed jobs already come from candidates in the agency database. One third of your job board applications are people you already know. You pay annual subscriptions to reach candidates sitting in your own CRM.
Most agencies leave this potential untapped. Your database exists. Your candidates are in there. But without a direct channel to reach them, you default to job boards and hope they apply again.
The opportunity: If you reduce your sourcing platform spend by 30% by filling more roles from your existing database, an agency spending £50,000 annually saves £15,000. This saving drops straight to your bottom line.
Beyond direct cost savings, consultant time shifts from screening unqualified job board volume to conversations with pre-qualified candidates. 73% of job board applicants are unqualified for the roles they apply to. Your consultants screen dozens of unsuitable CVs before finding candidates worth calling. Candidates from your own talent pool skip this step.
The shift: Instead of renting access to candidates through job boards, you build an owned channel. Every candidate who downloads your app is one you can reach directly — today, next month, next year. The app doesn't just reduce costs. It turns your database into an active, maintained talent pool that grows more valuable over time.
The Agency Pain Points We Solve
Your database decays faster than you maintain it. Candidates change jobs, phone numbers, and email addresses. CVs go stale. Your consultants spend hours chasing updates or discover mid-process the contact details no longer work. A self-service app gives candidates a reason to keep their information current, and we automate reminders to ensure regular updates.
You compete for the same candidates as every other agency. When you post on Indeed or Reed, you appear alongside your competitors. Candidates apply to multiple agencies for the same role. Your shortlist overlaps with theirs. A direct channel to engaged candidates generates better results.
Your annual job board spend keeps climbing. Subscription renewals increase. Premium features cost more. CV database access fees rise. Reducing your dependence on these platforms protects your margins as costs rise.
Your consultants waste time on unqualified applicants. Job board adverts attract volume, not quality. Pre-qualified candidates from your talent pool skip the screening step entirely.
Features and Benefits
This is a white-label mobile app platform. You get your own branded app in the App Store and Google Play. Your logo. Your colours. Your agency identity. Candidates download your app, not a generic recruitment platform.
Push Notifications to Segmented Candidate Lists
When a new role comes in, you alert relevant candidates within minutes. No waiting for job board applications to trickle in. No competing with other agencies on the same results page. Your notification appears directly on their phone.
Agency benefit: Speed to shortlist. You present candidates to clients before competitors have seen the applications. Faster shortlists mean higher fill rates and stronger client relationships.
Candidate Self-Service Profiles
Candidates update their own availability, skills, news and preferences directly in the app. Your database stays current without your consultants having to chase people for updated CVs. Email, SMS and Push Notification Reminders are sent when we haven't heard from a candidate to prevent things from going cold.
Agency benefit: Consultant productivity. Time spent chasing candidate updates is time not spent billing. Self-service profiles shift the maintenance burden to candidates who benefit from staying visible for relevant roles.
In-App Messaging
Communication stays in one place. No hunting through email threads, WhatsApp messages, and LinkedIn DMs to find a conversation from three weeks ago. Every interaction logs against the candidate record.
Agency benefit: Compliance and continuity. When a consultant leaves or a candidate resurfaces months later, the full conversation history is accessible. No knowledge walks out the door.
Job Matching and Alerts
Candidates set their preferences once. Desired role types. Salary expectations. Location radius. Notice period. When a matching role comes in, the app notifies them automatically. Candidates can update their preferences, including how active they are in looking for a new role.
Agency benefit: Pre-qualified interest. When someone responds to a matched alert, you know they want this type of role, at this salary level, in this location. Your consultant speaks to interested candidates, not cold contacts.
Your Brand, Not Ours
The app appears as your agency name in app stores and on candidate phones. There is no platform branding visible to candidates. Every interaction reinforces your brand.
Agency benefit: Differentiation and loyalty. The UK recruitment market has 31,345 recruitment enterprises, with 77.3% being micro businesses. A branded app signals professionalism and gives candidates a reason to stay connected to your agency specifically.
Analytics Dashboard
See which candidates are active. See which notifications get opened. See which job types generate the most interest. Use this data to refine your approach and identify your most engaged candidates. Spot candidates who may need support, so you can offer guidance.
Agency benefit: Strategic insight. Know which sectors are heating up before roles come in. Identify your most placeable candidates. Allocate consultant time where it delivers results.
Who This Is For
This platform works best for agencies with these characteristics:
An existing candidate database. Add/import your existing candidates. Our goal is to grow your candidate talent pool and keep it fresh.
Recurring roles. Agencies regularly filling similar positions give candidates a reason to stay connected for future opportunities. IT contractors. Healthcare staff. Industrial workers. Office professionals.
A desire to differentiate from competitors. In sectors where multiple agencies fish from the same job board pool, having a direct channel to engaged candidates creates an advantage.
Frustration with increasing sourcing costs. Agencies watching their annual job board and CV database spend climb year after year benefit from diversifying their sourcing channels.
