FOR RECRUITMENT OWNERS & STAFFING OPERATIONS TEAMS
We help UK recruitment agencies review software bills and repeated administration around candidate records, client handovers and placements. The starting point is the work copied around your applicant tracking or recruitment CRM system, with clear ownership of candidate information, client relationships and any required specialist checks.
Face-to-face cost reviews available anywhere in the UK by arrangement.
WHERE THE COST HIDES
These are specific starting points for a review. We confirm the actual tools, costs and people involved before recommending any change.
Candidate details arrive from several channels and are copied into an ATS, a consultant spreadsheet and a separate communication tool. Duplicate records make contact preferences and ownership harder to maintain.
What we’d assess Assess controlled capture, duplicate detection and a supported ATS handover. Record the source and applicable contact preferences; route uncertain matches to a person before merging or contacting anyone.
Requirements change in email while the vacancy, assignment brief and team tracker retain different versions. Consultants repeatedly ask which scope and terms are current.
What we’d assess Map an agreed vacancy record with a named client owner, approved scope and a versioned handover. Connect suitable team tools and flag changes for consultant review instead of distributing conflicting briefs.
Placement details are re-entered into onboarding, timesheet and finance tools. Missing references create queries between consultants, workers, clients and accounts.
What we’d assess Assess a checked transfer of approved placement information into the supported administrative systems. Reconcile rates and references, flag exceptions and retain authorised review of timesheets, pay and billing.
SYSTEMS BEFORE SOLUTIONS
We compare retaining, reducing, connecting and replacing the tools already in use. The answer depends on what the business must keep doing and the whole cost of delivering the change.
How we review software costsAI and automation are possible delivery methods where they make financial sense. They are not a reason to remove a useful control.
FROM DECISION TO DELIVERY
Pilot a defined consultant team or administrative handover. Map candidate, client, vacancy and placement identifiers, ownership rules and retention settings. Test duplicates, withdrawn candidates, restricted client records and amended placements; reconcile transfers and agree historic access, rollback and user training before cutover.
See the migration and handover processCandidate selection, right-to-work and sector-specific vetting, payroll and contractual decisions remain with responsible people and specialist systems. AI is not assumed to make hiring decisions or establish eligibility. Access, retention and communications must reflect the agency’s actual legal basis and candidate preferences.
A USEFUL FIRST MEETING
Bring approximate costs and an example of the work you want to improve. Detailed records can wait until a scoped review.
LESS COST. CLEARER DELIVERY.
