Linear Recruitment started out in 2001. It has grown over two decades to become one of the leading construction recruitment agencies. They pride themselves on striving to always match candidates with their perfect jobs. With one of their core values being Uncomplicated, it was always vital for them to operate with processes that are as straightforward as possible.

For Linear Recruitment, the Firefish Professional package transformed their recruitment process, allowing them to fully utilise their system in a way that meets all their needs. They now benefit from a streamlined, automated CRM that keeps their recruitment workflows efficient and effective—helping them match more candidates with their perfect jobs.

How Linear Recruitment improved time-to-fill with Professional 

From Basic to Professional: Unlocking Firefish’ Full Potential

Efficiency, compliance, and candidate experience are crucial for recruitment agency success. The Firefish CRM is designed to help recruitment agencies streamline their workflows, improve candidate engagement, and make data-driven decisions.

The Basic package offers essential tools to manage candidates and clients effectively, but as your agency scales, so do your operational demands. Upgrading to Firefish Professional unlocks powerful features that enhance compliance management, streamline integrations, simplify candidate onboarding, and provide enhanced reporting capabilities.

Upgrading will not only save time, but also empowers recruiters to work smarter, improve decision-making, and drive business growth.

The Professional package allows your CRM to connect seamlessly with other essential recruitment tools, streamlining your workflow, reducing manual data entry and eliminating data loss.  

Integrating Firefish with Xero offers recruitment agencies a seamless and efficient invoicing and payroll process.

Putting data at the heart of your
recruitment agency.

Efficiently Prepare Candidates for Placement 

Exclusive to Firefish Professional, our Candidate Onboarding Portal streamlines the entire onboarding process, giving candidates a dedicated space to complete essential documentation and stay informed every step of the way. This ensures they enter your CRM fully compliant and ready to be placed, allowing you to fill roles faster with confidence.

From there, you can leverage features like job alerts, advanced native AI tools, seamless integrations such as Quil, and our intuitive CV formatter to further enhance the candidate experience. These tools work together to simplify and accelerate the entire recruitment process, ensuring efficiency and ease from start to finish.

Advanced Reporting Capabilities

Upgrade to Firefish Professional and unlock powerful recruitment reporting capabilities. Gain access to 10 customisable dashboards, ensuring every team member can track the key metrics that matter to their role.

With advanced reporting features, you can turn candidate, contact, and recruitment data into actionable insights, helping you measure agency performance with precision. Whether you're focusing on individual performance or the big-picture strategy, Firefish Professional equips you with the insights needed to make smarter, faster decisions.

Increased Candidate Engagement 

Upgrading to Professional enhances candidate engagement with two powerful tools: Job Alerts and Mailshots.

Job Alerts automatically notify candidates about relevant roles, keeping them engaged and increasing application rates. On average, recruiters see nearly 700 additional vacancy views per month and receive 16x more applications per user. 86% of applications from re-engaged candidates are generated by job alerts. This feature reduces reliance on job boards and helps maintain an active talent pipeline.

Mailshots enable recruiters to send targeted email campaigns directly from the CRM, ensuring consistent and effective communication with candidates and clients. With customisable templates and two-way email tracking, recruiters can streamline outreach, improve response rates, and keep talent engaged.

Compliance is a non-negotiable aspect of recruitment. Firefish Professional offers bespoke candidate compliance features, allowing agencies to tailor compliance requirements to their specific business needs while adhering to legal and industry regulations.

With native compliance workflows on Firefish, recruiters can place candidates in confidence and be safe in the knowledge that all mandatory checks have been completed. From company terms and right-to-work documentation to credit checks and data retention - take control of compliance across your recruitment agency.
