The Problem

Your Recruiters Spend the Day Copying Data Between Tabs

Most agencies run an ATS, a CRM, job boards, and a payroll tool that barely talk to each other. Every gap between them becomes a recruiter retyping a name, a rate, or a note.

  1. 01 · CV overload

    Recruiters read every application by hand before calling anyone.

    An AI agent pre-screens applications against the brief and ranks who to call.

  2. 02 · Copied records

    Candidates get copied from job boards into the ATS by hand.

    Applications land in your ATS with the CV and source attached.

  3. 03 · Photo timesheets

    Placed workers send timesheets as photos for payroll to retype.

    Timesheet approvals run as an automated workflow that feeds payroll.

  4. 04 · Lost notes

    Candidate notes sit in personal inboxes and phones.

    Messages and notes sync to the candidate record in your ATS or CRM.

Monday starts with 140 new applications for one warehouse role. Your recruiters read each CV by hand, copy the best ones from Indeed into Bullhorn, and text candidates from their own phones. Placed workers send timesheets as photos, and payroll retypes them on Friday. A client wants a shortlist by noon, but half the candidate notes sit in someone's inbox.

We start with a free recruiting review that follows one requisition from job post to placement and payroll. Then we connect the pieces. Applications flow into your ATS, an AI agent pre-screens each one against the brief, and interview reminders and timesheet steps run on their own. Your recruiters spend their day talking to candidates, not copying data between tabs.

  • Applicants screened against the brief

    An AI agent scores each application on your must-haves and flags the ones a recruiter should call first.

  • Two-way ATS sync

    Jobs flow out to your site and boards, and applications flow back into Bullhorn, JobAdder, or Vincere.

  • Hours back for recruiters

    Reminders, status updates, and timesheet steps run as automations, with alerts when one fails.

Our Services

HR Tech Software Development Services for Agencies and In-House Teams

Our HR software development services start where your recruiters lose the most time, whether that's applications, client shortlists, or payroll handoffs. Each piece connects to the ATS you already run.

Who We Build For

Staffing Agency Software Matched to How You Recruit

A temp staffing firm needs timesheets and shift alerts, while an executive search firm needs private client shortlists. Pick the team closest to yours to see the services we combine and the usual timeline.

    Open shifts synced from your ATS with a mobile apply form.

Fill shifts fast and pay workers on time

You place temporary workers every week, and shifts change by the hour. Timesheets arrive as photos, and payroll retypes them before every pay run.

Temp staffing agencies placing shift workers: Your agency fills weekend warehouse shifts, and every Friday someone retypes photographed timesheets into payroll before workers can be paid.

  • Shift offers sent to workers' phones
  • Timesheets approved in a workflow
  • Payroll fed without retyping
Plan this setupTypical timeline: 6 to 12 weeks

Our Process

From Free Recruiting Review to Live Pipeline in Five Steps

You approve the process map and price first, see the agent score past roles before it touches new ones, and launch one desk at a time.

  1. We follow one requisition from job post to placement and payroll, including every copy and paste in between. You get a written list of the steps to automate, connect, or leave alone.

What Our Clients Say

What Clients Say After Launch

Feedback from an HR manager and other clients after we built their apps and sites.

We needed an HR attendee app for our employees, but the problem was that we didn’t really know how to turn our requirements into something people would actually use. We had attendance tracking, leave requests, notifications, and a few internal workflows in mind, but everything felt disconnected at the beginning. DeveloperLook took the time to understand how our HR team actually worked before building anything. The final app made those daily tasks much simpler, especially for employees who weren’t particularly tech-savvy. What really stood out to me was the support after launch. When we had questions or needed small changes, we weren’t pushed aside. That gave me a lot more confidence in rolling the app out across our team.

Not a fit

  • Budget under $850

    Your budget is under $850 and you need one job board embed on your current site. Your ATS's own careers page widget will do that for less.

  • Full HRMS from scratch

    You want a full HR system for payroll, benefits, and reviews built from scratch. An HR management software development company focused on HRMS products fits that better.

  • A few Zaps only

    You only need two or three simple Zapier tasks set up. Our Zapier Consultant and Automation Services page covers that with a smaller starter plan.

  • Careers chatbot only

    You only want a chatbot that answers candidate questions on your careers page. Our AI Chatbot Development Services page covers that without any ATS work.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on cost, timelines, ATS and HR software basics, integrations, and candidate data.

  • Recruitment software from us starts at $850 for one automated workflow and $1,350 for an agency website with jobs synced from your ATS. A connected recruiting site with two-way sync starts at $4,200, and a talent platform with portals and AI screening starts at $8,800. Off-the-shelf ATS tools usually charge per recruiter seat each month instead.

  • A single workflow goes live in 1 to 2 weeks, and an agency website with synced jobs takes about 3 to 5 weeks. A connected recruiting site takes about 6 to 8 weeks, and a talent platform with portals and AI screening takes 10 to 14 weeks. Access to an ATS sandbox usually sets the pace.

  • ATS software, short for applicant tracking system, is the database recruiters use to post jobs, collect applications, and move candidates through hiring stages. Agencies often run Bullhorn, JobAdder, or Vincere, while in-house teams use tools like Greenhouse or Lever. Custom ATS software development rarely pays off. Connecting the ATS you already have usually does.

  • ATS software stores every candidate and job in one place and tracks who is at which stage. It parses CVs, posts jobs to boards, schedules interviews, and keeps notes and emails on each record. Most also report time to fill and source of hire, which only stay accurate when every application lands in the ATS.

  • HR software is any program that manages people data once someone is hired: employee records, payroll inputs, time off, benefits, and reviews. An HRMS bundles those into one system, while recruiting tools cover the steps before an offer. Custom HRMS software development services make sense only when off-the-shelf tools can't fit your rules.

  • An HR system keeps employee records, collects payroll inputs, tracks time off, and guides onboarding and reviews, so HR staff stop working from spreadsheets. In staffing firms it also tracks placed workers, their timesheets, and compliance documents. The real value comes from connecting it to the ATS, so each new hire's details are entered only once.

  • Yes. We build recruitment apps for candidates and placed workers from one React Native or Flutter codebase, with shift offers, applications, documents, and push alerts. A tested prototype starts at $1,300, and a first release in both stores starts at $4,700. The app reads from and writes to your ATS through its API.

  • We connect any ATS, CRM, or payroll system that offers an API, including Bullhorn, JobAdder, Vincere, Greenhouse, and Lever. Each integration gets a data map, retries paced to the API's limits, and failure alerts. If a system has no API, scheduled file exports can often fill the gap, and we explain any limits before we start.

  • Choose one that has connected real ATS APIs and can show how it protects candidate data. Ask how they test an AI screening agent against past roles, who owns the code and accounts, and how they record consent and CV retention under GDPR. A fixed-price proposal with a written data map is a good sign.

  • You own the code, the automations, and every candidate record, and they sit in your ATS and cloud accounts, not ours. We remove our access at handover. Post-launch support lasts 30, 60, or 90 days by plan, and we tune the AI screening rules in that window as your recruiters give feedback.
