Many applicants are still actively applying with the help of our platform
None of them are right. But you're still the one reading them.
Better adverts, smarter screening, fewer time-wasters.
Looked great on paper. Fell flat in person.
Sharper ads. Structured shortlisting. Better results.
Counter-offered. Ghosted. Just disappeared.
Efficient process. No bottlenecks. No faff.
Now you’re expected to be a recruiter too.
Templates, workflows, and support when you need it.
They said all the right things. Then did all the wrong ones.
Interview structure. Benchmarking. Less guesswork.
It doesn’t feel worth it, but there’s no obvious alternative.
Fixed pricing. No fee per hire.
Sick of the job boards and agencies aren't much better?
Guided hire gives you access to all of the people and tools your agencies use at a fraction of the cost (and without the pushy sales tactics).
Here’s how Guided Hire works:
Planning to hire more consistently but can't seem to find a predictable system?
The Hiring Toolkit is for companies that hire consistently. It can work as your in-house recruiter, or as the support your existing team can't live without.
Here's what's included:
Know what you want but not sure how to find it?
Our Talent Vault (powered by Optima) is your "shop window"; full of pre-screened candidates who are actively looking for change.
Here’s how it works:
Ask your current team if they’ve ever worked with anyone that could do the job. People won’t usually suggest someone they can’t trust, so you’re ¾ of the way there without any of the heavy lifting.
Having a good social presence is an easy way to become “front of mind” for people. If you post consistently and show the reasons you’re a good employer, people will want to work for you.
You can advertise for free on Indeed and LinkedIn. As long as your advert tells someone why they’d want to work for you (rather than just listing what you want from them) you might find it does the trick. Clearly, you’ll need to put the salary in the advert and make it easy for someone to apply.
Give them access to all of the job boards, a LinkedIn recruiter licence, pay for some formal training on candidate attraction and assessment, invest in tools that take menial admin tasks away and back them when they come to you to say they’re struggling to get your hiring managers to review CVs, give interview feedback or stop responding to every recruiter that throws a CV over the fence.
Some rightly get a bad rap but ask yourself how hard you’d work on a job if you’d just been beaten down on price and still didn’t have any guarantee that someone was going to buy from you at the end. Find an agent, one you can trust, pay them properly and do what you can to have them prioritise working your job.
You’ll find loads of guides, hints and tips that could help if and when you do come to hire. There’s even a private networking group you might be able to use to win business.
The whole point of this is to help companies avoid paying needless fees to agencies. The pricing model we use means there’s no incentive for us to “sell” a candidate to you that won’t fit in, regardless of the service you use. We’re on your team with this, offering support at every stage to allow you to make the right decision. If you get it right you’re winning, but so is the candidate and the industry in general. That just feels better than putting a bum on a seat and hoping they stick it out for 12 weeks when your rebate period ends.
Honestly, nothing is guaranteed:
It depends. If you’re unlikely to hire again for a while afterwards, a Guided Hire could make most sense. If you tend to have 1 or 2 live roles at any time in the year, the Hiring Toolkit could make more sense. But you might want to check out our Talent Vault, which gives you access to our network for a fraction of the cost. You’ll only pay a small fee for every person you hire, and can even cancel your payments whenever they leave. If you’re still now sure you can speak to us any time by clicking here.
It is cheap. But we’ve packaged our process in a way that gives you total control, without the “success fee” or any of the pointless stuff you usually pay for. Frankly you, or someone in your team, will need to do a little bit more of the work than normal, but then you’re paying about 10% of a recruitment fee, so I guess you’d probably expect that.
We’ll get started as soon as your payment is processed so “How quickly can you pay?” might be a better question.
