Access Recruitment Portals

Give candidates and clients a home of their own

Candidates manage their own documents, track their applications, and submit timesheets. Clients see their hiring pipeline and track every placement without chasing your team. Your consultants win their day back. Access Recruitment Portals makes that the default, not the exception.

Candidates, clients, consultants, and your CRM are working from the same picture in real time. What a candidate shares reaches your CRM. What your CRM knows reaches the client. What a client does flows back again. Everyone stays in the loop.

You've seen both sides. Ready to make it real?

Clients stay. Candidates come back. Consultants place more

Candidate Portal

Less hand-holding. More repeat business.

Give candidates one place to handle the routine, so your consultants can focus on the conversations that move placements forward.

  • Live application status updates the moment something changes
  • CVs, compliance documents, and right-to-work uploaded in one place
  • Matched jobs browsed and applied for directly
  • Availability stays current without a single phone call
  • Time-critical shifts fill in minutes. Candidates accept or reject in one tap

Client Portal

Full visibility. Zero doubt.

Self-serve takes the status checks off the call. When clients don’t need to chase updates, every interaction with your consultant becomes a strategic one.

  • Hiring decisions get made faster because clients see the shortlist the moment it’s ready
  • Interview feedback arrives without a follow-up call
  • Clients always know where their vacancies, placements, and invoices stand
  • Their stakeholders get the reports they need without involving your team
  • Consultant conversations stay on record, correctly routed, never lost

Timesheet Module

Timesheets that don't need chasing. Submitted by candidates, reviewed by clients, and routed straight to your CRM. Add it to either portal, or both.

In the Candidate Portal

Hours and expenses logged where they already work. No paper. No chasing confirmation it arrived.

  • Submit timesheets directly from their portal
  • Log expenses without a separate form or email
  • Raise a query on a timesheet in one step
  • See the status of every submission, in real time

In the Client Portal

Sign-off happens where clients already work. No separate email thread. No spreadsheet to update.

  • Review and approve submissions directly in the portal
  • Query a timesheet without picking up the phone
  • See all pending approvals in one place
  • Approved timesheets managed within the CRM

Why our customers love Access Recruitment Portals

Simple setup. Guided every step

Stay easy to work with. Stay impossible to replace

Win more, keep more clients

Most client relationships don't end over a bad placement. They end over a slow email. Give them visibility and most of those conversations never happen.

Be the agency candidates choose

Candidates remember the agencies that made their working life easier. 47% would walk over poor communication alone.

Grow without the overhead

Self-service scales in a way headcount doesn't. Growth stops meaning more admin. 17.7 hours lost to admin per vacancy. £17k a year, per recruiter.

Give your consultants their time back. Stop chasing timesheets, start placing candidates.

Recruitment Portals FAQs

What is Access Recruitment Portals?

It's a self-service portal that gives your candidates and clients a professional, branded experience, without adding work for your consultants. Candidates can manage documents, track applications, and submit timesheets. Clients get live visibility of their hiring pipeline and placements. Everything syncs directly with your recruitment CRM. 

Do clients and candidates use the same portal?

No. There's a dedicated Candidate Portal and a dedicated Client Portal, each built around what that audience needs to do. But they work together: information flows between both portals and your CRM in real time, so candidates, clients and consultants are always working from the same up-to-date picture.

Does it work with our existing CRM setup?

Yes. Everything candidates and clients do in the portal syncs back to your CRM in real time. For candidates, that's profile updates, documents, applications, timesheets and payslips. For clients, that's pipeline visibility, placements and invoices. All flowing straight into the system you're already working in. 

Can we tailor it to how our agency works?

Access Recruitment Portals is built to flex around your agency. Whether you need one portal or all, and however you want to configure the features within them, it's built to work the way your agency does. 

Can the portal manage timesheets and approvals end to end?

Yes - the Timesheet Module (available as an add-on) covers the full workflow. Candidates submit time and expenses, clients review and approve, and everything flows straight into your CRM - no chasing, no manual entry. 

What does it cost?

Pricing is tailored to your agency's size and setup. Get in touch and we'll walk you through what's included and what it would look like for you - no hard sell, just a straight conversation. 

Does this replace what we're already using?

Possibly - it depends on your current setup. Whether you're on our legacy portal, using another solution, or starting fresh, we'll help you understand what the move looks like.
