In HR consultancy thousands of CVs pile up in inboxes and folders, and nobody knows which role a candidate was submitted for before or which client interviewed them. A candidate presentation is rebuilt from scratch for every client, and CVs without GDPR consent are a liability. In the system we build every CV is parsed into a searchable candidate database that can be filtered by skills, experience and location. Candidates move through role-specific stages, interviews are scheduled from the calendar, and the client company sees the shortlist in its own portal and gives feedback.

Off-the-shelf software or custom-built?

When off-the-shelf is enough

For independent consultants working on a few roles, off-the-shelf ATS products may be enough.

When custom software pays off

For firms with a large candidate pool, many client companies and their own assessment processes, a custom ATS improves matching speed and data security.

Frequently asked questions

Can our existing CV archive be imported?

Yes. PDF and Word CVs are bulk-uploaded and parsed, and a consultant fills in any missing fields.

Is there AI matching?

Candidate profiles can be ranked against a role’s criteria as a suggestion; the final choice stays with the consultant.

How is it managed under GDPR?

Consent is recorded for every candidate, and records past their retention period are flagged and then anonymised or deleted.

Do clients see candidates’ contact details?

No. Contact details can be hidden on the presentation screen and are revealed only if the consultant shares them.
