The Challenge

The agency managed 200+ active candidates across 12 Excel files, with consultants duplicating data entry and losing track of placements. Reporting took 4 hours every Friday. Client communication happened via email and WhatsApp, with no audit trail.

Existing Workflow

Candidates tracked in Excel → manual email follow-ups → PDF CVs emailed to clients → status updates in WhatsApp groups → weekly manual reporting → invoicing in separate system.

The Solution

Full-stack recruitment platform with candidate pipeline, automated client matching, integrated email sequences, and a live reporting dashboard. Consultants now manage their entire workflow in one place.

Unified candidate database with custom pipeline stages per vacancy

Automated CV parsing and scoring against vacancy requirements

Client portal with live placement status and document approvals

Integrated email sequences for candidate follow-up

Real-time reporting dashboard — no more Friday afternoon reports

Exact Online integration for automated invoicing on placement
