Manchester software house. We build websites, web and mobile apps, MVPs and AI for UK businesses.
Recruitment runs on speed and on paperwork, and the two fight each other. Consultants who should be placing people spend their day screening unsuitable applications, chasing documents and keeping records straight. We build AI that handles the first response, the screening questions and the compliance chasing, so consultants spend their time on the candidates and clients who will actually convert.
A single advert can pull hundreds of CVs, most of them wrong for the role. Screening them by hand is the job nobody has time for, so good candidates go cold.
Applicants who hear nothing tell everyone. The reputational cost of a slow or absent reply is paid in the next campaign, when fewer good people apply.
Right to work checks, references, qualifications and the records the Conduct Regulations require are chased by email, one candidate at a time.
Placed candidates, near misses and lapsed clients sit in the system untouched because nobody has time to work it, so you pay to advertise for people you already know.
Replies to every applicant within minutes, asks your qualifying questions on availability, location, right to work and salary, and pushes only the matches through to a consultant with the answers attached.
AI Chatbot Development pricing and detailsCollects right to work evidence, references and certificates, chases what is missing on a schedule, and files everything against the candidate record so the audit trail builds itself.
AI Automation pricing and detailsAnswers candidate and client calls when the desk is on the phone or closed, takes structured messages, and books consultant callbacks straight into the diary.
AI Voice Agents pricing and detailsConnects to Bullhorn, Vincere, JobAdder, Firefish or your own system so nothing is re-keyed and the AI works from live records rather than a copy.
AI Integration pricing and detailsNo. It gathers structured answers to the questions you set and flags who meets your stated criteria; a consultant makes every decision. Keeping a person in charge of the outcome matters both for fairness and because automated decision-making about individuals carries its own obligations, which your data protection lead should confirm for your process.
The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003 require you to keep records showing compliance and to retain them for at least twelve months, and the government guidance confirms the Fair Work Agency took over enforcement on 7 April 2026. Automation helps by capturing information consistently and filing it against the right record, but the duty remains yours; confirm your process with whoever handles compliance in your agency.
Bullhorn, Vincere, JobAdder, Firefish and most systems with an API. On the discovery call we check what your platform actually exposes before quoting, because that decides whether the AI can write back to a record or only read from it.
Every project is quoted as a fixed price after a free discovery call, never a day rate. A screening and response chatbot is scoped by how it connects to your applicant tracking system. Compliance and document chasing is quoted per workflow, and out-of-hours call handling as a one-off build plus a monthly fee and call minutes.
How UK recruitment agencies use AI to reply to every applicant and screen against qualifying questions, what decides the cost, and the ICO and Fair Work Agency rules that apply in 2026.
A practical guide for UK SMEs on adding AI to the CRM you already run: the 10 integrations with the fastest payback, native AI features versus custom work, 2026 UK prices, UK GDPR considerations and a six-step plan.
The tools cost next to nothing. So what is the agency fee for? An honest breakdown of what sits inside it, what actually moves it, and when you should skip the agency entirely.

Explore Let AI BrowseRead the LetAIBrowse case studyThirty minutes, free, no obligation and no salesperson. You describe what is costing you time or customers, we ask about the systems involved, and you leave with an honest view of whether this is worth doing. We regularly end that call by saying the tool you already pay for covers it.
The code, the repository and the accounts are set up in your company name rather than ours, and they are yours on completion and full payment. Nothing runs on infrastructure we control, so ending the relationship does not end the thing we built.
Every project is quoted as a fixed price with a written scope after the call, so an over-run is our problem rather than yours. If the scope changes, we say so and re-quote before doing the work, not after.
In the UK or EU, under a data processing agreement, kept only as long as you specify. Any model provider we rely on is named as a sub-processor rather than left implicit, and we will tell you plainly where something you have asked for would put a commitment of yours at risk.
Agreed before launch rather than negotiated during an incident: what is covered, how quickly we respond, and what counts as new work. Every build has a defined escalation to a person, because the failure that costs you is the one nobody noticed.
