Recruitment agency software: job boards & candidate pipelines

Recruiters: every candidate tracked from apply to placed. Place more, chase less.

Applications land from SEEK, LinkedIn and your website in three different inboxes. CVs sit in Outlook where nobody can find them and a client wants a shortlist by 3pm. We build job boards, candidate pipelines and client portals for recruitment agencies that all talk to each other. Then we host them and look after them.

Looking for recruitment software that joins up your job boards, candidates and clients?

A recruitment agency is three businesses at once: a marketing shop chasing candidates, a sales team chasing clients and an admin office chasing paperwork. Most agencies run it on a big recruitment platform they half use, plus Outlook, a shared drive, a spreadsheet of placements and a lot of phone calls. Advertise one role and you're posting it five times, sorting applications in three inboxes and emailing CVs to a hiring manager who loses them.

Wollopit builds custom recruitment software around how your desk actually works. Write the ad once and it goes to the boards and your website. Every applicant lands in one pipeline. Clients see their shortlist in a portal and book interviews themselves. Candidates get updates without you lifting a finger. Temps onboard on their phone and their timesheets turn into invoices. We connect the tools you like, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot.

01The problems

What we hear from recruiters

Does your recruitment agency have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.

Most recruiters we talk to are great on the phone and buried in admin. The good candidates slip through the cracks between inboxes, spreadsheets and sticky notes.

  • The problemApplications everywhereSEEK, Indeed, LinkedIn and your website all send applicants somewhere different. Some get read late and some never get read.
    How we fix itEvery application from every board and your website lands in one pipeline against the right job, with duplicates merged.
  • The problemCVs buried in OutlookThe perfect candidate applied eight months ago for a different role. Good luck finding that email.
    How we fix itA searchable candidate database with CVs parsed into skills, tickets, location, salary and availability.
  • The problemShortlists sent as attachmentsFive CVs attached to an email. The client loses it and asks for them again on Thursday.
    How we fix itA client portal where hiring managers see the shortlist, read your notes and pick who they want to meet.
  • The problemInterview scheduling ping pongThree emails per candidate to find a time that suits the hiring manager, then someone forgets to turn up.
    How we fix itSelf-booking links tied to the hiring manager's calendar, with Teams or Zoom links and reminders to both sides.
  • The problemThe job board on your website is staleFilled roles still showing and new ones not up for a week because only one person knows how to update it.
    How we fix itA live job board that updates the moment you open or close a role, set up for Google for Jobs.
  • The problemPosting the same ad five timesCopy, paste and reformat the same role into every board, then do it all again when it closes.
    How we fix itWrite the ad once and push it to the boards and your website from one place, wherever the boards allow it.
  • The problemCandidates left in the darkNobody has time to tell hundreds of applicants where they stand. Your Google reviews say so.
    How we fix itAutomatic status updates by email or SMS at each stage. Personal, polite and sent without anyone chasing it.
  • The problemOnboarding paperwork chased by emailTax file declarations, super choice forms, ID and licences chased one attachment at a time for every new starter.
    How we fix itAn onboarding portal where candidates fill in forms, upload documents and sign contracts on their phone.
  • The problemCompliance that quietly expiresPolice checks, Working with Children cards, white cards and visas run out without anyone noticing.
    How we fix itExpiry tracking with reminders well before anything lapses, so nobody gets placed out of date.
  • The problemReferees chased by phoneDays of phone tag with referees, then the notes end up in someone's notebook.
    How we fix itOnline reference checks with set questions, sent to referees and saved straight to the candidate record.
  • The problemTemp timesheets on photos of paperTimesheets texted as blurry photos, retyped into payroll, then retyped again into invoices.
    How we fix itDigital timesheets approved by the client that flow into payroll and invoices in Xero or MYOB.
  • The problemNobody knows who's billing whatPlacements, fees and consultant targets live in a spreadsheet that gets updated at month end, maybe.
    How we fix itLive dashboards for placements, revenue and pipeline per consultant, desk and client.

Your whole desk, on one system.

These are the systems recruiters ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly clever when they're joined up.

07How we work

The process

Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.

We get properly below the surface of your recruitment agency: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.

  1. 01

    Think

    We sit with your consultants and your admin team, follow a role from brief to placement and work out where the time actually goes.

  2. 02

    Archi-tech

    We plan it before writing code: your jobs, boards, candidates, clients, compliance, timesheets, hosting and cost.

  3. 03

    Build

    Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win before your next big hiring rush.

  4. 04

    Look after

    We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.

08Questions

FAQ

Things recruiters ask us.

Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.

Can it post jobs to SEEK, Indeed and LinkedIn?

Yes, wherever the boards support feeds or posting. You write the ad once and push it to the boards and your website from one place. Applications come back into the same pipeline.

We already use JobAdder or Bullhorn. Do we have to switch?

No. If your recruitment platform is doing its job, we build around it: the website job board, client portal, onboarding or timesheets on top. If it's holding you back, we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.

Can clients see shortlists without another login to remember?

Yes. Clients can open a secure shortlist link or have a proper portal login, whichever suits them. Either way they see your notes and CVs and can pick who to interview.

Can it handle temps and contractors as well as perm placements?

Yes. Perm roles run through the pipeline and placement fees. Temps get onboarding, compliance tracking and phone timesheets that flow to payroll and invoices.

How do you look after candidate privacy?

Candidate data is only seen by the people who need it, access is logged and records can be updated or removed when someone asks. We build it with your privacy obligations in mind from day one.

How much does recruitment software cost?

It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.

How long does it take?

Smaller jobs like a website job board or client shortlists can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.

Who looks after it once it's built?

We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.

We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?

Usually, yes. Most recruiters we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
