Overview

Two databases means no database

Recruitment runs on relationships and records. When clients live in one system, candidates in another and the website in a third, the firm spends its time reconciling rather than placing. We replaced the arrangement with one system where the website, the CRM and the records are the same thing.

Challenge

Fragmented databases made it difficult to manage clients and candidates efficiently. Manual processes slowed recruitment and limited growth potential.

Objectives

One place for clients, candidates and programmes. A public website that feeds the CRM directly. Less administration, faster response times.

Discovery

We traced a single enquiry from first click to placement and counted every manual step along the way. That count became the specification.

The solution

Website and CRM as one system

Part 1

Custom website system

A public site for programmes, trainers and articles, built to convert enquiries.

Part 2

Built in CRM

Clients and candidates in one database, updated by the website rather than by retyping.

Business outcome

Faster recruitment, lighter administration

A centralised system replaced the reconciliation work. Recruitment moved faster, administrative burden fell, team productivity improved, and the firm gained the operational visibility it needed to scale with confidence.

What we carry forward: Most SME technology problems are not missing features, they are the same information living in three places. Unify first, then automate.
