AI automation consultancy  ·  UK recruitment

Automation,
engineered for
recruitment.

We don't sell software. We solve problems.
Most tech vendors pitch a platform and hope it fits.
We start by understanding your agency — then build exactly what you need.

Built by recruiters, for recruiters · Not a SaaS vendor · UK-based

The reality

Most agencies run
on busywork.

The talent is already in your business. The problem is everything sitting between your consultants and the placement.

🪦

Your CRM is a graveyard

Thousands of candidates sit untagged, unfindable, going cold. Meanwhile you're paying £10k+ a year for LinkedIn to find people who are already in your system.

Your best people do admin

The average consultant spends 4+ hours a week formatting CVs, chasing feedback, and re-keying data. That's time not on the phone, not building relationships, and not making placements.

🔁

Nothing compounds

Every search starts from scratch. Knowledge lives in people's heads, not the business. When someone leaves, they take the network with them.

What changes

Quietly powerful,
underneath.

We don't lead with features. We lead with what's different the morning after we deploy.

01

Ask, don't search

Find any candidate in plain English. No Boolean strings, no manual sifting through 200 results — the right people surface when you need them.

02

The admin disappears

CV formatting, client submissions, interview scheduling, follow-ups — engineered to happen in the background, not on a consultant's to-do list.

03

Data that organises itself

Candidates are auto-classified, pooled, and kept warm. Your database becomes a live asset, not a filing cabinet that nobody trusts.

04

Your edge compounds

Every placement makes the next one faster. The business gets smarter with every engagement — not just the individual consultant who worked it.

Our approach

We diagnose
before we prescribe.

No generic platform. No features you'll never use. We start with your desk, then build exactly what removes the friction.

Step 01

Diagnose

A structured audit of your workflows, your data, and where time actually leaks — across every stage of the desk.

Step 02

Scope

We define only what solves real pain. Fixed-scope, fixed-price, no surprises. You know exactly what you're getting before anything is built.

Step 03

Deploy

Fast, practical, done-for-you. Live on your desk, not sitting in a backlog. Your team uses it from week one.

Step 04

Adopt

Training and ongoing support built into every engagement. Automations that stick — not tools that get abandoned after a month.

What we build

Two ways to work
with FlowHire.

Some agencies need a platform that runs alongside their existing CRM. Others need a specific problem solved. Most need both.

Track 01 · The platform

A recruitment platform built from the desk up.

We've built — and actively use — a recruitment platform designed around how agencies actually operate. It's live, in production, and configured per agency: your brand, your CRM, your workflows.

Consulting · Database

Database Intelligence & Cleanse

Your database is your most valuable asset — if it works. Most don't. We audit, clean, tag, and enrich your CRM so that every candidate record is findable, accurate, and useful. Then we build the tools to keep it that way.

Consulting · Automation

Bespoke Automation Builds

Specific problems, scoped precisely. Fixed-scope, fixed-price builds that solve exactly what's costing your consultants the most time — document generation, pipeline automation, AI-assisted search. Delivered and adopted.

By the numbers

The problem is bigger
than most agencies realise.

4 hrs+

The average consultant time lost every week to document production — CVs, executive summaries, candidate submittals, and client-ready profiles. Per consultant. Every week.

5–8×

The number of calls and emails the average interview booking requires before it's confirmed. Per interview. Multiplied across every consultant on your team.

30–50%

Duplicate records in a typical recruitment CRM. Candidates in there twice, three times — invisible in searches, wasting everyone's time.

£8–9k

The cost of a LinkedIn Recruiter seat — per consultant, per year. Most agencies are paying this to find candidates already sitting in their own database, untagged and unsearchable.

These aren't estimates. They're what we find in every audit.

Why FlowHire

We've sat where you sit.

FlowHire isn't built by developers who've never run a desk. It's built by recruiters who have — across permanent, interim, retained, and exec search — who got tired of watching good agencies drown in admin that shouldn't exist.

That's why we audit before we build, why we clean your data first, and why you only pay for automation that solves real pain. Not what looks good in a demo.

  • 12+ years of combined recruitment experience — not just in the codebase. We know what a real desk looks like.

  • One agency at a time, onboarded properly — bespoke, never off-the-shelf. We don't scale by cutting corners.

  • Audit first, always. The report is yours whether we work together or not. No obligation beyond the session.

Common questions

Is this right for us?

Questions we hear on every first call — answered honestly.

No. FlowHire sits on top of whatever you're already using — Bullhorn, Vincere, JobAdder, or anything else. We don't migrate your data or ask you to change your existing tools. We make what you already have work better.
Yes. Generic AI tools aren't connected to your candidates, your clients, or your workflows. FlowHire builds automations that are — so the output is specific to your desk, your data, and your process. Not a generic prompt that anyone else could run.
Phase 1 automations typically go live within 2–4 weeks of the audit. Most agencies recover 15–20 consultant hours per week in the first month — across formatting, scheduling, and submission workflows.
No. The agencies that benefit most are typically 5–30 consultants — large enough to have real admin problems, small enough to move quickly without the procurement delays of a bigger business.
The audit is a fixed-fee engagement. You receive a written report — workflow map, prioritised automation opportunities, ROI projection, and a phased implementation roadmap — delivered within 3 business days. The report is yours to keep, regardless of whether we work together beyond it.
No. Every project is a fixed-scope statement of work. You approve scope and price before anything is built. Nothing starts without your sign-off, and nothing runs over what was agreed.
A small number. Engagements are bespoke and that takes time to do properly. If you're interested, it's worth having the conversation sooner rather than later — capacity is limited by design, not by accident.
Start here

It starts with
the audit.

A fixed-scope diagnosis of your desk: where time leaks, what your data is worth, and exactly what we'd build first. Clear, practical, and no obligation beyond the session.

The report is yours to keep — regardless of whether you proceed. Most clients find the audit alone changes how they think about the business.
