Recruitment and hiring

From an approved seat to a signed offer, with every match explained.

Hiring decisions, branded careers sites, CV fill, explained match scoring, interview scorecards and offer letters with their sign-off chain, through to signing and the new starter's journey.

Hiring decisions

A hiring decision approves a seat before the offer. Managers raise one for their own team in the portal or through the concierge; HR raises one for any seat in the companies it looks after. The decision records whether the seat is new or a replacement, the role, the start date, why, and whether it is budgeted. HR sets the pay ceiling (“Can go up to”). An offer within the ceiling does not go back to the decision’s approvers.

Careers sites and applying

Each organisation has a branded careers site hosted by andteam, with share links and a feed that job boards can read. Candidates apply with POPIA consent, and their CV fills in the form, each field marked so they check it before they send. Applications are kept under your retention rules, 12 months by default.

Explained matching

Each job has a pipeline: Applied, Screen, Interview, Offer, and Hired or Declined. AI match scoring explains its score criterion by criterion and is advisory only: it never rejects or moves a candidate. Names, photos and protected attributes are never used in scoring, candidates are told when they apply, an adverse-impact report shows outcomes by EE group, and you can switch it off.

Open roles show in the employee portal by default, and a current employee’s manager is told only once they reach interview.

Offers and contract types

You define your contract types, such as Permanent or Fixed term, each with its own questions, template, signer roles and approval chain. Bring your own Word templates; each keeps your wording. The offer shows the package against the pay band, live, beside the approval timeline. Each approver sees the letter and the figures behind it side by side, and approves, sends back or declines.

Once signed, the position and pay are written to the record from the start date, and the new starter’s journey begins.
