Recruitment agencies

Candidates and clients
want the same hour.

A consultant is the only person who can place a role, and the same consultant is answering the application questions that stop them doing it.

Who this is for

Where the capacity actually goes.

Recruitment and staffing agencies handling candidate applications and client briefs through the same small team.

Candidate questions fill the consultant’s day.

Status, process and role questions arrive in volume, and each one interrupts the search work that actually earns the fee.

The client brief arrives incomplete.

A role comes in without the seniority, the range or the timeline, and the first search runs against a guess.

Good candidates go quiet.

The candidate who was not contacted this week is interviewing somewhere else next week.

The journey, step by step

One request.
Four moves.

One recruitment agencies journey, end to end. Your configuration decides the sequence, the rules and the point a person takes over.

Answer the enquiry

Candidate and client enquiries are answered on the channel they arrived on, using the information your agency has approved.

Capture the brief

Role, seniority, timeline and the other details your consultants need are captured through your own questions before a search begins.

Coordinate the conversation

Screening calls and client meetings are offered against real availability and written to the consultant’s diary.

Keep candidates warm

Scheduled follow-ups keep active candidates in contact, and stop when they withdraw, are placed, or a consultant takes over.

What it meansMore inbound

The consultant hour does not scale with it

The specialists this draws on

Four roles, working in sequence.

All eight specialists are included in every plan. These are the ones Stella typically activates first for recruitment agencies.

Where your people take over

Suitability, shortlisting, salary negotiation and every placement decision stay with your consultants. The workforce keeps the conversation moving between them.

The human boundary

Common questions

Questions recruitment agencies ask.

Will it screen candidates?

No. It captures the information your consultants asked for and presents it. Judging whether someone is right for a role is a consultant decision and stays that way.

Can it talk to clients as well as candidates?

Both, within the scope you configure. What it is permitted to say to each is set during scoping rather than assumed here.
