I build the hiring-signal pipelines, the candidate-sourcing engines and the CRM that recruitment teams actually run their desk on. The data and the timing that get you to the client first. Built by an AI and data engineer, not a sales agency.
Candidates on one side, clients on the other. Both go stale fast. When the database lies and the calls are reactive, the consultant works harder for the same placements.
Bullhorn, Vincere, JobAdder or whatever you're on, full of duplicates, dead records and candidate data that decayed months ago. Nobody believes who's placeable, so nobody opens it.
By the time a role goes public, every agency in the specialism is calling the same client. You're competing on speed-dial, not relationship. The mandate was won six months before the advert.
Consultants trawling LinkedIn each week, rebuilding the same candidate and client lists from scratch. No hiring-signal layer telling them who to call now, so the day starts cold.
The agencies that win the mandate aren't working harder. They saw the signal first. The edge is data and timing, not effort.
Four parts, built around how you actually place. Each one earns its keep on its own. Together they run the desk.
Companies raising funding, scaling teams or posting roles in your specialism, surfaced daily as clients to win and matched to what you actually place. You get to the mandate early, while it's still a conversation, not an advert.
Automated sourcing and enrichment, so the right candidates surface without a consultant trawling LinkedIn for hours. The shortlist starts built, the day starts warm.
Duplicates merged, dead records archived, contacts enriched. The database stops lying about who's placeable and who's hiring, so the desk trusts it again and actually uses it.
Signal-matched companies reached one-to-one on the specific role and the specific trigger, everything logged back in the CRM. The system the desk works in, kept running, not a campaign that stops when someone's off.
Not a list export and a cold morning. A flow, from the moment a company starts hiring to the placement living in a CRM the team trusts.
A funding round, an exec hire, a team scaling, a role posted. Each one is a client worth calling now, surfaced the day it happens, not the week the advert goes live.
The signal gets filtered against what you actually fill, so you only chase mandates you can win. No noise, no wild-goose calls. The list is yours to place.
The company and the decision-maker get enriched, then you reach out on their specific need. The right person, the right trigger, the right opener. No spray, no goodwill.
The placement, the client and the candidate history sit in one system the team trusts. The agencies that win the mandate got there six months earlier, because they saw the signal first.
I built and still run the candidate-sourcing engine a major UK recruitment group works in. A system the business depends on daily, not a one-off project handed over and forgotten. The work is real. The clients stay private on purpose.
A short call. I'll listen, ask the right questions, then tell you straight where the signal and the data could get you to the mandate first. No deck, no pitch.
