Learn more about JobAdder's contingent recruitment

How fast can I create a shortlist from a longlist?

Adder Intelligence rates every candidate against the job as Excellent, Good, Moderate or Limited, and explains each rating with a written recommendation. Move the strongest fits to your shortlist straight from the job pipeline without opening every profile, and cut the time you spend screening by up to 50%. Adder Intelligence is included in Recruiter Essential and Recruiter Pro.

Can clients see where a role stands without calling me?

Yes, using the Hiring Manager Portal add-on gives clients a live view of candidate progress and job status, and allows them to provide feedback and progress or reject candidates directly.

How do I get paid faster after a placement?

JobAdder captures fee and invoicing details on every placement record and syncs them with integrated billing platforms, so invoices can go out without re-entering placement data, and billing data syncs back to JobAdder in real-time.

Can I see which accounts are worth chasing?

Yes, Adder Intelligence surfaces your entire relationship history with the company on every opportunity, including win/loss analysis, recent engagement and stakeholder context, so you know which opportunities to prioritise. Adder Intelligence is included in Recruiter Essential and Recruiter Pro.

Does this work the same way across every desk in my agency?

Yes. Recruiter Essential and Recruiter Pro plans include unlimited job workflows, so you can set up stages for every desk and role type while keeping full visibility and ownership of every job. Recruiter Lite includes a single workflow.
