Starting point
Headway Executive Search managed candidates and clients on an old system, with scattered data and lots of repetitive tasks: adding profiles, searching, comparing, following up.
What we did
We designed and built a complete recruitment platform, organised into 16 modules: automatic candidate registration from LinkedIn, AI search across the whole database, matching between roles and profiles and centralised tracking of every process. The next phase brings telephony and WhatsApp into the same screen.
The change
Before and now.
Before
- An old system and scattered data
- Candidates added by hand from LinkedIn
- Slow searches and tracking in loose spreadsheets
Now
- All information in a single database
- Profiles added automatically from LinkedIn
- AI search and matching between role and profile
Step by step.
- Input
Profiles
Profiles come in from LinkedIn or from an application, with no data typed in.
- System
Automatic registration
Each profile is stored once, with its full history.
- AI
Search and matching
The consultant describes what they're looking for and AI finds and ranks those who fit.

Consultant
Selection and the relationship with each candidate remain with the consultant.

Every step is recorded. Next phase: telephony and WhatsApp on the same screen.
