David for Recruitment

UK recruiters spend 17.7 hours per vacancy on admin — CV screening, interview scheduling, data entry, compliance chasing. David connects to your ATS, your job boards, and your accounting tools to handle the work that slows your consultants down.

The Problem

Sound familiar?

Interview scheduling

25% of UK businesses spend over 10 hours per week on scheduling alone. Back-and-forth emails, coordinating diaries, chasing confirmations.

CV screening and shortlisting

3.6 hours per vacancy reading largely irrelevant applications. 72% of recruiters cite irrelevant CVs as a primary cause of delays.

Manual data entry

Re-keying candidate info from CVs, email, and LinkedIn into the ATS. Duplicate records are a chronic problem. 61% cite manual entry as a cause of delays.

Compliance document chasing

References, DBS consent, Right to Work checks, passport copies — highly manual for most small agencies. RTW fines tripled in 2025 to £45,000 per illegal worker.

Timesheet processing

For temp agencies: chasing timesheets, approvals, generating pay runs and client invoices. A weekly grind that scales with contractor headcount.

Client reporting

Manually compiling pipeline updates, shortlists, and activity reports. Usually built in PowerPoint or Word, often late, always time-consuming.
