Industries: Recruitment agencies

Automation for recruitment agencies.

Recruitment runs on email and a CRM, which makes it one of the best-fit industries for automation there is, and one Brocklesby specialises in. Candidate chasing, client updates, interview scheduling and ATS hygiene can all run on systems, so consultants spend their day placing people instead of typing.

The pattern

A desk's day is mostly admin wearing a suit.

A busy desk handles the same loops constantly: chasing candidates for CVs, right-to-work documents and interview confirmations, updating clients on shortlists, rearranging interviews, and keeping the ATS honest enough to trust. Every one of those loops is structured, repetitive and email-based, which is exactly what automation is good at.

The consultant's actual edge, judgement about people and relationships with clients, is the part that stays human.

Where it saves time

The systems that give consultants their day back.

Inbox triage

Candidate replies, client instructions and noise separated automatically, so the placement-critical emails surface first. Inbox management.

Candidate chasing

CVs, documents, references and confirmations chased on schedule without a consultant's to-do list. Automated follow-ups.

Interview scheduling

Availability collected and interviews booked without the email tennis. Booking automation.

Client updates

Shortlist and progress updates drafted from activity, so clients stay warm without hours of writing. Email automation.

ATS and CRM hygiene

Records updated from emails automatically, so the database stays truthful without data entry. CRM updates.

Desk reporting

Activity, pipeline and placements reported without a Friday spreadsheet session. Spreadsheet automation.

Built for how agencies work

Candidates are people, so people stay in the loop.

Anything that touches a candidate's prospects or a client relationship keeps human approval in the process: the system drafts and prepares, a consultant approves. Candidate and client data is handled carefully, as set out in security and data.

The first system is scoped, built and tested before billing starts. If it does not work for your desk, you do not accept it and you do not pay.
