Pliable.

80% of Tech Companies in the UK use recruitment agencies. However, the average Tech Company will experiment with 4 recruitment agencies before finding the right one - that’s a lot of guesswork and even more time wasted. Moreover, 60% of UK Tech Companies report that recruitment fees cause them to sacrifice spending in other areas of their business, and should the hire not work out, can end up costing as much as up to x3 the candidate's annual salary.

Pliable is a bespoke recruitment platform designed to alleviate these issues, matching Tech Companies with vetted, quality recruitment agencies and offering a flexible payment model which splits the fee into manageable, monthly instalments, (think Klarna, but for recruitment fees!).

The result? Reduced guesswork, minimized risk, and less time wasted. Plus, you’re in control—setting terms that work for you, not the other way around. This empowers you to make the hires your business needs without the burden of hefty recruitment fees.

Posting a Vacancy

Pliable offers tech companies a seamless and customisable recruitment experience through its "Add a Vacancy" feature.

With Pliable, businesses have the flexibility to split recruitment fees over monthly instalments, making it an affordable solution for startups, SMEs, and budget-conscious organizations.

The number of live vacancies a company has listed on Pliable is always visible, allowing businesses to easily manage and track their hiring needs in one place.

Selecting an Agency

The "Select a Recruitment Agency" feature on Pliable streamlines the hiring process by connecting tech companies with top-performing agencies. When a vacancy is posted, relevant recruitment agencies are immediately notified, ensuring a quick and efficient start to the hiring process. Agencies then submit tailored offers to fill the vacancy, showcasing their expertise and approach. To help companies make informed decisions, agency KPIs, such as placement success rates and time-to-hire metrics, are transparently displayed. Businesses can choose up to three agencies to partner with for each vacancy, maximising their chances of finding the right talent. Additionally, agencies are rated by the companies they work with, fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.

Manage and Track Payments

Pliable’s "Manage and Track Payments" feature simplifies the financial side of recruitment. Tech companies can easily view the total amount owed to their selected recruitment agencies, ensuring full transparency. The platform also provides a detailed overview of employees hired through Pliable and the agencies responsible for their placement, offering valuable insights into recruitment performance. Payments are automated via direct debit on the agreed date, eliminating manual effort and ensuring timely transactions. Additionally, companies can track their payment history over time, making it easier to manage budgets and plan for future hiring needs.
