The real problem

Most recruitment teams don't have a technology problem. They have a clarity problem.

You've got the tools. The issue is nobody has ever sat down and looked at whether they're working together - or working at all. Meanwhile costs creep up, risks grow, and your team fills the gaps with manual work.

  • Paying for licences you no longer use - or duplicated across platforms
  • ATS or CRM that produces data but not actual visibility of what's happening
  • Tools that don't talk to each other, so your team does the joining manually
  • Telephony not integrated with your ATS/CRM - calls go unlogged, candidates un-followed-up
  • Cyber exposure you don't know about - including new AI-driven attacks
  • No technology roadmap - you react to problems rather than prevent them

Add that up across recruiters, hiring managers, operations teams, and leadership. It becomes real money, real risk, and real time lost every week.

What we typically find

Six problems hiding in nearly every recruitment tech stack - whether you hire internally or recruit for clients.

For each one, here's the problem we keep seeing - and the way we go about fixing it.

01

Falling behind on AI while your competitors pull ahead

Problem

AI is reshaping recruitment fast - automated sourcing, instant CV matching against 10,000+ records, 24/7 candidate chatbots, AI-summarised calls, predictive placement scoring. Teams adopting AI are sourcing faster, screening more consistently, improving candidate response times, and reducing manual admin. Teams that aren't are quietly falling behind.

Solution

We map every AI tool that fits your stack, size and budget - what's hype, what's genuinely working in recruitment right now, and what to deploy first for fastest payback. No £50k vendor mistakes, no AI bolted on for the sake of it.

02

Your candidate data is a goldmine - and attackers know it

Problem

Recruitment teams sit on CVs, candidate records, contracts, salary data, ID documents, interview notes, and sensitive personal information. AI-driven phishing, deepfake candidate fraud, and ransomware now specifically target the sector. One breach can end the business.

Solution

External-to-internal security review - MFA gaps, endpoint protection, email security, backup recoverability, and the new AI-specific attack vectors. You get a ranked fix list, not a sales pitch.

03

Your ATS or CRM holds data but won't surface it

Problem

Thousands of contacts, and nobody can answer "who haven't we touched in 6 months?" - which candidates have gone cold, which roles are stuck, which hiring managers are slowing the process down, or which clients have not been re-approached. Recruiters and hiring teams flying blind.

Solution

ATS/CRM data-quality audit, broken-workflow mapping, and a decision: fix what you've got or scope a custom build around how your team actually works.

04

Microsoft 365 quietly misconfigured

Problem

Many recruitment and talent teams have basic Microsoft 365 security gaps - exposed SharePoint, no conditional access, ex-staff accounts still live, MFA missing on admins. Every one is an open door.

Solution

Full M365 tenant review against current best practice. Every gap ranked by what an attacker would exploit first.

05

Licence sprawl bleeding cash

Problem

ATS seats, LinkedIn Recruiter licences, job board subscriptions, sourcing tools, automation platforms, and communication tools that are duplicated, unused, or poorly controlled. Tens of thousands a year, gone.

Solution

Every licence, subscription and renewal audited. Kill list, keep list, renegotiation list.

06

No technology roadmap - only firefighting

Problem

Every tech decision is reactive. Renewal hits then panic-renew. Breach happens then panic-buy. No 12-month plan, no one whose job it is to think strategically.

Solution

Written 12-month roadmap - fix this quarter, renegotiate next, retire, invest. Yours to action with us or anyone else.

How the review works

This isn't a sales call dressed up as a consultation. Here's the difference.

Most providers talk about their products from minute one. We start with your business - what you've got, how it's working, where the strain is. Technology comes second.

01

30-Minute Tech Stack Review - Over Teams

We systematically unpack your full technology environment: CRM, Microsoft licensing, telephony, job boards, automation, integrations, security.

02

We Do the Analysis

After the call we review everything - identifying overspend, gaps, cyber risk, and where automation could recover time and money.

03

Written Findings Report

A clear, plain-English document covering your current setup, what we found, the risks, and a prioritised set of recommendations.

04

We Go to Market For You - If Needed

If the review finds issues that need solving, we source the right vendors and solutions for your size and budget. We do the legwork.

The offer

Everything you get. Free.

A consultant charging commercial rates would charge upwards of £1,500-£3,000. We do it free because we only earn the right to work with you if the review is genuinely useful.

Limited slots available each month - manually reviewed by our team

Is this right for you?

Built for in-house TA teams, recruitment agencies, and staffing organisations.

Whether you run an in-house talent team, a recruitment agency, or a staffing business, the review gives you a clear view of what is working, what is wasting money, and what needs fixing.

This is for you if…
  • You run, manage, or influence a recruitment function with roughly 20-100 people involved in hiring, recruitment, staffing, or talent operations
  • You have an existing recruitment tech stack - ATS, CRM, Microsoft 365, job boards, LinkedIn, telephony, automation, interview tools, or reporting platforms
  • You're not sure what you're paying for or whether it's working
  • You've had growth or restructuring in the last 12-24 months
  • Tech contract renewals are coming and you want to benchmark first
  • You want an independent view - not a one-platform pitch
  • You have cyber concerns but haven't had a proper review
This probably isn't for you if…
  • You're a solo recruiter or small operation with minimal tech in place
  • You had a full independent review done in the last 3 months, AND have actioned several changes.
  • You have no influence over recruitment technology, hiring operations, or technology spend

The guarantee

"

There is no catch. Here's exactly what happens.

You book a 30-minute Teams call. We ask questions and listen - no pitch, no agenda. We go away, do the work, and send you a written report with everything we found.

That report is yours to keep. Take it to another provider. Act on it yourself. File it away. We don't care - it belongs to you regardless of what you decide to do next.

If it finds nothing, you've still got more clarity than most recruitment leaders ever have. If it finds something - which it almost always does - you have a clear roadmap and someone ready to help execute it.

  • Free of charge - no fees, ever
  • No sales pitch on the call
  • You keep the written report regardless
  • No commitment required at any stage
  • If we can't help, we'll point you elsewhere
Our guarantee

"If we find something urgent like an active breach or a critical compliance gap, we'll tell you immediately. We don't sit on it to engineer a sales conversation."

Common questions

Before you book - straight answers

There is no catch. We offer the review free because we only earn the right to work with you if it's genuinely useful - that's the entire model. The review, the written report, the vendor sourcing, and the recommendations debrief are all completely free. If the findings create a natural conversation about whether we're the right fit to help solve what we find, great. If not, the report is still yours to keep and act on however you choose.

Honestly - yes, if the review finds problems and you want help fixing them, we'd love to work with you. But there's no obligation attached to the review itself. The written report is yours to keep regardless of what you decide. We only earn the right to a commercial conversation if the review is genuinely useful to you. That's the only way this model works, so it's in our interest to make it worth your time.

Most organisations we review already have IT support - but IT support is not the same as recruitment technology strategy. Your IT provider handles infrastructure. Nobody in that relationship is looking at whether your recruitment tech stack makes commercial sense. Those are two entirely different things. We focus specifically on what your IT company isn't looking at - ATS/CRM fit, tool integration, licence overspend, recruitment-specific cyber exposure, and whether your tech is keeping pace with how the market is moving.

That's the best position to review from - no pressure, no urgency, just clarity. The question worth asking is when someone last looked at it independently to confirm that. If the review comes back clean, you've got a written record of it. If it finds something, you've got a roadmap before it becomes a problem. Either way you come out better informed than when you went in.

Mid-contract is actually the ideal time. You've got runway to make decisions without being under pressure. The review maps what to renegotiate before renewal, what to retire when the contract ends, and what's worth keeping. Going into a renewal without that picture is how teams end up locked into the wrong tools for another two or three years.

Yes. The review is not about one platform. It looks at how your whole recruitment environment works together - ATS, CRM, sourcing, job boards, LinkedIn, Microsoft, telephony, automation, reporting, security, and workflow.

That's exactly the size where the review tends to find the most. Twenty people with CRM, telephony, Microsoft, and job board subscriptions can easily be spending £80,000-£120,000 a year on technology - often without a clear picture of whether it's working. One of our case studies involved a 25-person firm that saved £30,000-£40,000 a year from the findings.

One 30-minute Teams call with you. That's it. No consultant time, no internal project, no forms to fill in beforehand. We do the analysis after the call and come back to you with the written report. Your team won't know it's happening.

The difference here is the report belongs to you regardless of what happens next. We don't hold the findings back behind a commercial conversation or drip-feed recommendations to keep you engaged. You get everything we find, in writing, in one document - and you can act on it with us, with someone else, or entirely on your own. We have no interest in producing a report that isn't useful. It's the only thing that earns us the right to a follow-up conversation.

We cap the number of reviews each month because each one is manually reviewed by our team. When we hit capacity, new requests go on a waiting list. If you want a slot this month, now is the time to book.
