Recruitment technology
There are hundreds of recruitment platforms, with tools to automate every step and to make you an employer of choice. We help you find the right ones for your organisation, with impartial advice from someone who has used them at scale.
Impartial advice across the whole journey
Bias-free recommendations on the platforms for every step:
Usually a one or two-day workshop, extended to suit you.
Our approach
Start with why you want the technology
Is it cost and efficiency? Visibility and control? Or the experience your candidates and hiring managers have, and the impression it leaves? We start with your drivers, then explore the market for the platforms that fit.
Market insight and talent advisory
Platforms that give you the data to inform your recruitment decisions.
Applicant tracking systems
The big players and the challengers, to underpin your permanent hiring.
Vendor management systems
Visibility and control of your contingent workforce, including statement of work and freelancers.
Assessment automation
From high-volume longlisting and shortlisting to final assessments, and the impact of AI on equality, diversity and inclusion.
Video interviewing
Standalone platforms, or video built into another step of your process.
Vetting and compliance
Digital products that streamline your vetting and compliance checks.
Onboarding and induction
A great first experience for new starters, including virtual reality previews of your workplace.
Reporting and analytics
Track the process end to end, forecast accurately and monitor diversity at every step.
AI in HR tools
Innovation, with control
AI now features at almost every step of recruitment, from sourcing and screening to assessment, scheduling and candidate chatbots. Used well, it saves time and widens your talent pool.
But hiring decisions shape people's lives, so the bar is high. Candidates have rights around automated decisions under UK GDPR, discrimination law applies whether a person or a tool makes the call, and the EU AI Act treats AI used in recruitment as high-risk. We help you adopt AI with confidence, without losing sight of fairness, compliance or trust.
Transparent decisions
Can you explain why a candidate was shortlisted or rejected? Tell candidates where AI is used and how it affects them.
A human in the loop
Keep meaningful human review over decisions that matter, with a clear route for candidates to challenge them.
Fair by design
Ask vendors how their tools are trained and tested for bias, and monitor outcomes for every group once they're live.
Controls and governance
Data protection impact assessments, vendor due diligence, clear ownership and records of how each tool is configured and used.
