What we look at

Six things decide whether the right person applies to you.

An advert only reaches people. Whether they apply, and whether they accept, depends on everything around it. We look at all six and show you what we found.

Market standing

How you compare as an employer with the businesses hiring the same people near you: the offer, flexibility, progression and what people say about working for you.

EvidenceTheir live adverts, your reviews and staff voice, side by side with yours

Salary and package

Where your pay sits against the local market for this exact role. If there aren't enough adverts to give a fair band, we tell you that instead of guessing.

EvidenceLive local adverts that state a salary, never a job board's estimate

Competitor analysis

Who else is hiring for the role in your area, how often they advertise, what they offer and how long their roles stay open.

EvidenceLive job adverts across the major boards

Market mapping

Where the people you need work today, by employer and location, and how many of them are realistically within reach of you.

EvidenceOur candidate database and LinkedIn reach across your commuting area

Online presence and footprint

What a candidate finds when they look you up: your careers page, whether your jobs appear in Google for Jobs, and whether AI assistants can see you at all.

EvidenceOur Recruitment Health Check, run on your own website

Adverts and process

How your adverts read, how long they stay live, whether the salary is shown, and where good applicants drop out between application and offer.

Before they apply

Every candidate looks you up. What do they find?

A good advert gets the click. What happens next is a search for your company name — and most employers have almost nothing there answering what a candidate is actually weighing up: what it is like to work there, the culture, the hiring process, the backstory. We build branded careers sites that answer them, on your own domain, from £995 +VAT.

Not sure how you look? The free recruitment health check measures it: whether candidates can find you at all, what your careers page tells them, how your adverts read, and where your pay sits against the employers hiring the same people nearby.

The maths

See what the percentage is costing you.

Enter the salary. A typical agency charges 15–20% of it. Ours is a flat fee — same job boards, same candidates, a fraction of the price.
