Blue Octopus is a UK recruitment platform combining an ATS, employer branding and services, used by British employers who want the process handled locally. Its coverage is deliberately UK-shaped, which becomes a limit the day a role has to be filled from further afield.
Kalent searches 200 million profiles in plain language and returns a qualified shortlist, without hours of Boolean strings on LinkedIn.
Verified mobile numbers and personal emails are attached to each sourced profile, so a recruiter can act on it the moment it lands.
Qualified candidates appear in your pipeline under the rules you define. Nothing is copied by hand, nothing lives in a spreadsheet.
Everything happens in the web app. Nothing to install.
