Shortlists out in hours, and counter-offers seen coming
A fourteen-person agency running permanent and contract desks. Consultants spent more of the day on admin than on placing: updating records, chasing feedback, booking interviews around three diaries. The database had thousands of candidates nobody had time to search properly, and placements were lost to counter-offers that nobody saw coming.
Six areas: roles, candidates, interviews, placements, compliance, the desk. Plugged into their CRM, their calendars and their inbox.
A worked example, not a delivered client project. Modelled on a real build shape and on published UK recruitment benchmarks for time-to-shortlist, admin load and counter-offer rates. The before figures are what a consultant time audit typically shows on a busy desk.
