Rich Integrations

Seamless connections for a smooth hiring process

Standard Integrations: Indeed QuickApply, Google for Jobs, AI application evaluation are all built into even our most entry-level package.

Advanced Integrations: DBS & background checks (including driving licence), Google Maps, HRMS interfacing, online test providers, and job board posting.

Expandable & Future-Proof: If you need more specialised integrations, we can add them at any time, with no workarounds or fudges.

Why It Matters: You can centralise all your recruitment tools and data in one place, eliminating manual tasks and reducing the risk of errors or missed steps.

Manager Mobile App

Supercharge engagement and responsiveness

Speed Is Everything: Review candidates, communicate instantly, and schedule interviews (TI, VI, or F2F) right from your phone.

Push Notifications: Get nudges on outstanding actions or new applicants, so you never miss a top candidate.

Capture Documents on the Go: Upload Right to Work (RTW) and Proof of Address (POA) documents directly to a candidate’s profile.

Why It Matters: In a market where candidate expectations are sky-high, responding faster can mean the difference between hiring top talent or losing them to a competitor.

Full Application Form (But at the Right Time)

Streamlined data capture that’s still compliant

Avoiding “Front-Loaded” Frustration: We don’t dump a massive form on candidates at the outset. Instead, we capture essential info first, then invite them to complete the full application once they’re more committed.

Pre-Interview Data: Especially important for CQC or Ofsted settings that require a full application before a face-to-face interview.

No More Gaps: Our system flags or even blocks submission of missing employment history or references, ensuring you have everything needed for safer recruitment audits.

Why It Matters: Striking the right balance means fewer dropouts, more accurate data, and a smoother path to compliance.

Heads or Hours

Flexible hiring for diverse roles

Heads-Based: Traditional approach to filling specific headcount or roles.

Hours-Based: Perfect for care settings where scheduling or shift coverage is key, letting you allocate hours instead of fixed positions.

Seamless Tracking: Switch between heads or hours as needed, or combine both in the same system, whatever fits your operational model.

Why It Matters: Many care providers juggle different contract types. We adapt to your reality, not the other way around.

Candidate-First Experience

Engage applicants like never before

AI Summaries: Even if candidates don’t have a polished CV, we use AI to generate a plain-language profile, helping you quickly gauge suitability.

Omnichannel Communication: Email, SMS, or WhatsApp. Reach candidates on their terms, ensuring faster responses and fewer no-shows.

Smart Forms: Minimal friction early on, with more detailed questions as candidates progress.

Why It Matters: A poor candidate experience can slash your applicant pool. By removing hurdles, you attract and retain higher-quality candidates.

Contract Creation & Management

Simple, intuitive onboarding for you and your hires

Automated Contract Generation: Upload a standard contract or use our native functionality to establish a library of templates for different roles.

TBC Start Dates: Update as soon as all checks are complete, so there’s no confusion about a new starter’s first day.

Seamless Integration with Onboarding: Candidates can sign electronically, with updates flowing straight into their record.

Why It Matters: Fewer manual steps means fewer errors, faster acceptance, and a more professional impression on new hires.
