Show the workings

The useful bit, with the lid off.

A website, a connector and a workflow tool each have a job to do. These diagrams show what changes, who makes the decision and where the boundary sits. Pause any animation, or choose a step to inspect it.

How it works / 01

Your expertise should make it past the homepage.

Imagine a good referral followed by a page full of ‘people solutions’, leaving a new employer to work out the specialism for themselves. Give the page the substance your team would explain on a call.

See the visibility method
01Expertise to enquiryIllustration
Expertise to enquiry: Start with the deskState the sectors, roles and situations your agency understands, with evidence you are allowed to publish. Agency expertise → Readable website → Employer enquiry. This illustrates the method. Rankings, indexing and AI citations depend on external systems and are never guaranteed.
Step 1 of 4
  1. State the sectors, roles and situations your agency understands, with evidence you are allowed to publish.

  2. Deliver the important words in server HTML. Structured data describes those same visible facts.

  3. A person following a referral, a search engine or an AI reader can assess the specialism and how you work.

  4. Route an employer enquiry to the right conversation. Measure it separately from candidate applications.

This illustrates the method. Rankings, indexing and AI citations depend on external systems and are never guaranteed.

How it works / 02

One vacancy, with everyone reading the same version.

The role has been filled. Somewhere, a third copy of the advert is still cheerfully recruiting for it. A shared record gives the website a way to know when to stop.

02One vacancy recordIllustration
One vacancy record: Prepare one recordThe owner enters the vacancy facts once. Required fields and dates are checked before publication. Owner record → Shared live state → Public role and feed. Illustrative vacancy data. The working demo stores synthetic records in your browser and submits no real applications.
Step 1 of 4
  1. The owner enters the vacancy facts once. Required fields and dates are checked before publication.

  2. Owner, candidate and engine-room views read the same published record.

  3. The public role, application route and machine-readable feed follow that shared state.

  4. A filled or expired role leaves active results and stops accepting applications, including a stale application already open.

Let the ATS keep its day job.

Your consultants know their system. Turning a website project into an unexpected ATS replacement is quite a large surprise to hide inside a new homepage.

Check the integration boundaries
03The connection boundaryIllustration
The connection boundary: Establish the sourceIdentify the existing ATS, the available feed or API and which system owns each record. Existing ATS → Scoped connector → Agency website. A proposed architecture, not a live vendor integration. Feeds, permissions, application handoff and write-back are confirmed for your specific connector.
Step 1 of 4
  1. Identify the existing ATS, the available feed or API and which system owns each record.

  2. Confirm access, fields, refresh behaviour and vendor constraints before agreeing the scope.

  3. Translate supported vacancy facts into readable website pages, with a defined application destination.

  4. Show where the application completes. Write-back is included only where the actual connector supports it.

A proposed architecture, not a live vendor integration. Feeds, permissions, application handoff and write-back are confirmed for your specific connector.

Approval should notice when someone edits the advert.

A green tick is a fairly confident little object. It ought to lose some of that confidence when the approved salary, location or wording has just been changed.

Try the approval workbench
04Advert checks and reviewIllustration
Advert checks and review: Write against the agency rulesUse explicit fields and the agency's writing rules, rather than leaving the important details in a loose document. Advert fields → Checks and reviewer → Versioned approval. Deterministic checks and human review over a fictional advert. The demo does not provide legal sign-off or publish to a job board.
Step 1 of 4
  1. Use explicit fields and the agency's writing rules, rather than leaving the important details in a loose document.

  2. Deterministic checks point to the wording or missing fact that needs attention.

  3. The reviewer resolves the findings and approves the current advert, with the human decision visible.

  4. Changing the advert cancels that approval. The revised version needs a fresh review before it is approved again.

Deterministic checks and human review over a fictional advert. The demo does not provide legal sign-off or publish to a job board.

How it works / 05

A client gets the shortlist you reviewed.

A blind shortlist is doing a rather poor impression of a blind shortlist if the phone number is still sitting in the file sent to the client, beneath a rectangle someone drew over it.

Try the blind shortlist
05Reviewed blind shortlistIllustration
Reviewed blind shortlist: Keep the source privateThe consultant works with the fabricated source CV and private fields in the agency view. Private source → Reviewed redaction → Client snapshot. Fabricated candidates only. This demonstrates a reviewed, sanitised snapshot, not automatic redaction of every possible CV format.
Step 1 of 4
  1. The consultant works with the fabricated source CV and private fields in the agency view.

  2. Redact and review the role-relevant summary before opening the client room. Names are masked by default.

  3. The client receives the reviewed snapshot. Private contact details and consultant notes are excluded from the client payload.

  4. Editing the source closes the old client room until a fresh snapshot is reviewed. A name reveal is a separate reviewed choice.

Fabricated candidates only. This demonstrates a reviewed, sanitised snapshot, not automatic redaction of every possible CV format.

How it works / 06

See who can cover the gap, and who has agreed to hear from you.

A reminder queue has an admirable memory. Unfortunately, without a consent check, it can remember to send the very message the person has asked you to stop sending.

Try the cover pool
06Opt-in cover and remindersIllustration
Opt-in cover and reminders: Start with an eligible opt-inCheck consent, availability and shift suitability before a worker receives an offer. Eligible opt-in pool → Offer and reply → Consent gate. Synthetic workers, shifts and replies. Offers and reminders are simulated in a browser outbox; no real messages are sent.
Step 1 of 4
  1. Check consent, availability and shift suitability before a worker receives an offer.

  2. The simulated outbox records the offer and reply so the desk can see what happened.

  3. Recheck the shift when confirming cover. Competing responses cannot fill the same gap twice.

  4. Withdrawing consent suppresses offers and existing reminders. Restoring consent does not revive the old messages.

Synthetic workers, shifts and replies. Offers and reminders are simulated in a browser outbox; no real messages are sent.
