Custom software development as our own product: HRscale is a recruitment SaaS web application that brings the capabilities of enterprise applicant tracking systems to small and mid-sized companies, from a central candidate database through a visual pipeline to automated messaging.
The business challenge
At most SMEs, recruiting happens scattered across emails, Excel sheets and job board platforms. The consequences are predictable: candidates get lost, nobody can tell who is at which stage, and by the time HR answers every email, the best applicants have signed elsewhere.
Enterprise recruitment systems have solved this for years, but they are out of reach on an SME budget and take months to roll out. The goal of developing HRscale was therefore a web application that can be used immediately, tailored to the market, with no consultants and no IT department required.
The solution: the full recruiting cycle in one web application
HRscale organises recruitment onto a single surface, from application to hire. Throughout the web application development, the emphasis was on fast onboarding and transparency.
The main features:
- Central candidate database: every applicant in one place, searchable, with full history
- Visual Kanban pipeline: candidate status is visible at a glance and managed with drag and drop
- Branded career page: a job page in the company’s own look, publishable without a developer and embeddable into any existing website
- Smart automation: automatic emails and status updates from personalised templates
- Management dashboard: reports on every step of the recruiting process for data-driven decisions
Technology background
HRscale is built on a modern, cloud-based SaaS architecture: multi-tenant delivery, role-based access control and API-level integration options for the tools companies already use. Career pages were built to be embeddable, so they work with any existing company website. Data handling follows GDPR requirements, which is a baseline expectation for recruitment data.
The results
- Recruitment lead times drop significantly, because candidates do not get lost and replies do not slip
- Automated messaging saves HR colleagues hours of administration every day
- Managers see from real data how each advertising channel and each position performs
- Companies get their own professional career page without any developer work
