We had an absolute ball at the Recruitment Agency Expo these past two days. We spoke to a huge range of incredible businesses that are making a real impact in the recruitment sector.
The recruitment industry has lagged a little when it comes to innovation and technology. However, as of 2019, the industry is seriously shaping up for a complete digital make-over. We’re talking about a total revamp!
Anyone who has been exposed to the recruitment industry will agree that it's a sector that can never be fully automated. Human interaction is, and always will be, vital to the success of any recruiter. That’s why we are particularly interested in the companies who aren’t trying to eliminate human interaction yet are successfully enhancing it.
Here are five companies we spoke to at the Recruitment Agency Expo 2019 that are doing their bit to revolutionise the recruitment industry.
Cube 19 just get it. They know that every recruitment agency is thinking about growth. Whether this is increased revenue, new hires or new business – it’s all about growth. That’s why they’ve developed a data-driven software designed to put every member of the company in the driver’s seat, on route to destination growth.
The best features of Cube 19 include:
• Providing real-time insights
• An integrated CRM that allows monitoring of any client, individual or team
• Cube TV – a leaderboard designed to encourage recruiters to record their actions
• A digital KPI integration that shows recruiters exactly how they are contributing to the company’s overall growth and revenue
Cube 19 believes they have created a product that optimises a company’s two greatest assets -the people and the data.
Well, we agree 100%.
As the winners of the 2018 Recruitment Agency Awards, you can imagine that these guys know their stuff. The company is backed by founders Steve Beckitt and Adam Dale, both of who have strong staffing and recruitment backgrounds.
The two became partners over a beer and 'Boolean' chat and today they have established an industry reputation that positions their start-up as ‘revolutionary, game-changing and having a huge impact’.
The tech company specialises in:
• Uncovering the top candidates
• Discovering a company’s live vacancies as they are released
• Find the decision makers who are hiring
• Understand who is recruiting for your niece and where
We have a feeling that Source Breaker is just getting started. Watch this space.
All we can say is wow. There is no wonder Bullhorn has over 8,000 customers in more than 150 countries. This is a company that is incredibly innovative and is on a mission to become a one-stop-shop for recruitment agencies wanting to grow their business.
The Bullhorn suit of tools is seriously impressive. Unfortunately, we can’t list them all, so here are just a few of their top of the market features:
• The fastest application tracking system (40% faster than any other)
• The industries first staffing specific CRM integration with LinkedIn
• Mobile integration – allowing recruiters to view and edit candidate records and access placement data on any device
• An impressive on-boarding process tracking, allowing anyone with access in your agency to see precisely where a new hire is in process
We’ve seriously only scratched the surface here. Head to Bullhorn’s website to see what we’re talking about!
The team at volcanic understand that the recruitment industry will always be a very human one. The two creators realised that people in the recruitment sector were hugely ambitious and high achieving, but there was a lack of technology readily available to feed the growth.
Their mission is a simple one, ‘to build the best culture to deliver better recruitment platforms globally’.
Some of Volcanic’s best features include:
• CRM – designed to increase revenue, growth and opportunity while reducing risk and cost to the company.
• Integration with industry-leading CRMs while maintaining full GDPR compliance
• A massive focus on security, including never outsourcing development and the inclusion of a data vault
This is a platform that is prepared to support the unprepared agencies, who are about to be hit by the digital transformation set to take over the recruitment industry.
We know we’re being completely biased, but we can’t help ourselves. We’re so excited for what’s to come in 2019!
Hinterview founders Rich McLaren and Andy Simpson knew that in the 21st century, there had to be a better solution to candidate search than a black and white CV and back-and-forth phone conversations.
With extensive backgrounds in recruitment, they realised that an understanding of a person's cultural fit and communication skills can be established within two minutes of meeting a candidate. So, why not screen candidates and determine their suitability for the role in a five-minute video interview?
The top features of Hinterview include:
• Two-way video interview software that can be recorded and sent directly to the hiring manager
• ‘Hintro’ a video introduction used to headhunt clients, engage passive clients and pitch to candidates
• A USP that sets an agency apart from their competition
• An incomparable advantage that recruiters can use to gain exclusivity
Everyone can see that video is here to stay. That’s why Hinterview are asking the question, will you join the revolution now, or play catch up later?

We hope you enjoyed our wrap up of the 2019 Recruitment Agency Expo.
