Recruitment technology consultancy

    Independent strategy in three tiers

    The one-day Recruitment Tech Audit, 12-month transformation roadmaps and ongoing technology leadership for UK recruitment agencies, with no vendor bias.

    You don't know if your tech is earning its keep, or where AI actually fits, for your recruitment agency. Independent advice, based on what actually works for your business. Three ways to work with us, depending on how much support you need.

    Where to start: choose the Recruitment Tech Audit if the problem is your tools, your process or where AI fits. If the problem is your contact data, start with the CRM Data and AI Readiness Analysis.

    The outcome

    You leave with a ranked list of improvements, each with the effort involved and the payoff, so you know what to do first and what to leave alone.

    Natural progressions:
    "Your CRM is the bottleneck"→ CRM Implementation / Optimisation project
    "Your target list is generic or outdated"→ Data Intelligence
    "Your CRM data is not AI ready"→ CRM Data and AI Readiness Analysis
    "You need a 12-month transformation plan"→ Strategic Roadmap
    "Manual research is eating into billing time"→ Automation implementation project
    "You need ongoing technology leadership"→ Ongoing Retainer
    The transformation plan

    Strategic Roadmap

    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.

    The partnership

    Ongoing Retainer

    Fractional 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    Most audits point somewhere specific: a CRM that's become the bottleneck, a database that's gone quietly out of date, or a case for the full 12-month roadmap.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.

    When the answer is a build

    Sometimes the audit points to a workflow that should run itself. We design and build those too, in Clay and Claude, connected to your CRM.

    Frequently asked questions

    What does the Recruitment Tech Audit cover?

    A one-day, on-site review of how your agency runs across BD, Resourcing, Marketing and Ops: your process, tools, CRM and where AI fits. You receive a written report with a ranked plan and a costed first phase.

    Should I start with the Tech Audit or the CRM Data and AI Readiness Analysis?

    Start with the Tech Audit if the problem is your tools, your process or where AI fits. Start with the Readiness Analysis if the problem is your contact data and whether it can support AI, automation and targeted BD.

    What happens after the audit?

    You decide what to act on. Some agencies take the plan and run with it. Others move into a 12-month Strategic Roadmap or ongoing technology leadership, where we help deliver the changes.

    How much does the audit cost?

    The fee is agreed on the free 30-minute call, because it depends on the size of the agency and travel for the on-site day.
