Most agencies think they've got a CRM problem, or an AI problem, or a data problem. Usually it's the same problem wearing different clothes.
We start by looking at how your tech, your data, your process and your team actually work together, not just the one system that's currently bothering you. That's what tells us whether you need a quick fix, a bigger rebuild, or just to stop paying for something you don't use. Find yourself below, or book a Technology Health Check and we'll tell you straight.
You don't know if your tech is earning its keep, or where AI actually fits, for your recruitment agency. Independent advice, no vendor commissions, ever. Three ways to work with us, depending on how much support you need.
Technology Health Check in 1 Day
Most clients identify 8 to 12 improvements. Implementing a couple usually pays for the audit itself.
12-Month Technology Transformation Plan
Current state assessment, a phased 12-month roadmap from quick wins through to full transformation, and an implementation playbook with vendor shortlists, timelines and budgets. This includes designing workflow automation where it removes real cost or friction, not just recommending tools.
Book Roadmap ConsultationFractional CTO / Strategic Technology Partner
Strategic Advisory: 1 day a month plus on-call support, for teams executing the roadmap themselves who want expert validation along the way.
Hands-On Partnership: 2 to 3 days a month, we actively project manage and implement alongside you, not just advise.
Fractional CTO: 5 to 8 days a month, full technology leadership including board attendance and M&A due diligence, for PE-backed or high-growth businesses.
Most audits point somewhere specific: a CRM that's become the bottleneck, a database that's gone quietly out of date, or a case for the full 12-month roadmap. You'll know which, and why, by the end. From here, most clients either bring us in to deliver the roadmap, or move to an ongoing retainer so we guide execution as it happens. Nothing from this stage goes to waste either way.
Your last migration was chaos, or you're terrified the next one will be, for your recruitment agency. A 9-phase methodology, 12 to 14 weeks, 95% success rate against the 40 to 60% typical of DIY attempts.
When you need this:
Previous DIY migration was traumatic - 6 months of chaos, still finding data issues
Terrified of getting this wrong - one shot to migrate, can't afford £50k+ in problems
No time to manage this - 300+ hours of project management nobody has capacity for
Team resistance expected - need proper configuration and training to get buy-in
System holding you back - current CRM can't scale, but switching feels too risky
Our approach:
Whether you're implementing, migrating to, or already running Vincere, our 9-phase methodology applies the same way.
What you're avoiding:
300+ hours of internal project management, a 6 to 12 month DIY timeline, and the 60% probability of significant problems that comes with it.
A clean migration often surfaces the next thing worth fixing, usually the data itself. That's where rec-covered picks up.
Discuss Your MigrationYour database's gone cold, or your recruitment agency's consultants are stuck doing research instead of billing. Our own Clay-powered service, sitting alongside our independence on third-party tools, same no-commission standard applies.
When you need this:
Your team is fishing in the same pond as everyone else - same LinkedIn searches, same ZoomInfo data, same generic outreach
The prospects you want aren't on standard platforms - they're buried in industry databases, public records and specialist sources your current tools can't reach
Consultants losing chunks of every week to manual research instead of billing
You're entering a new sector with zero existing contacts
Your candidate database has gone cold - people moved, numbers disconnected, emails bouncing
What we do:
If what we find here changes the wider picture, that folds back into a Recruitment Tech Audit rather than sitting as a separate piece of work.
