Industry Expertise
Digital Solutions for Recruitment & HR
Recruitment agencies operate in a market where the website serves two distinct audiences simultaneously: candidates looking for their next role and client businesses looking for a recruitment partner. Most recruitment websites optimise reasonably for one audience and poorly for the other. The ones that serve both well have a structural competitive advantage.
EXPRE builds websites and job boards for UK recruitment agencies and HR technology businesses. We understand job board development, compliance around candidate data, and the commercial case for SEO investment in a sector where organic search can be a major candidate acquisition channel.
Sector Challenges We Address
Job Board Integrations
The gap between the agency website and the ATS is where candidate data quality breaks down. Applications from the website should flow directly into the ATS with structured data intact, without manual re-entry or file downloads. We integrate with Bullhorn, Vincere, JobAdder, Greenhouse, and other major platforms.
Applicant Tracking
Application data must map correctly to ATS fields, source tracking must identify which channel produced each application, and the candidate experience from application to ATS entry must be tested thoroughly. We handle the full integration, not just the surface connection.
AI Candidate Matching
AI job matching improves candidate experience and application quality simultaneously. Vector-based candidate-to-job matching compares CVs against job descriptions semantically rather than by keyword alone. Better-matched applications reduce recruiter time reviewing unsuitable candidates.
Job Board Development
A recruitment agency’s job board is both a candidate acquisition tool and an SEO asset. Every live listing is an indexable page. With the right technical architecture, a job board generates significant organic traffic from candidates searching for specific titles and locations.
EXPRE builds job boards with search performance in mind: semantic job search matching candidates to relevant roles even when terminology differs, filtering by sector, location, salary, and employment type, job alert subscriptions with configurable frequency, and application workflows integrating with your ATS.
For agencies managing large volumes of live listings, automated job import from ATS systems prevents the manual duplication of publishing jobs separately to the website and the ATS. n8n handles this synchronisation automatically.
Candidate and Employer Portals
Candidate portals provide a personal experience: saved searches, application tracking, CV management, and personalised job recommendations. Employer portals give client businesses visibility into the recruitment process: submitted CVs, interview scheduling, and progress tracking without needing to contact the agency for every update.
Both portal types improve service experience and reduce administrative overhead on the agency team. Time spent on manual status updates and document sharing redirects to higher-value recruitment activity.
Recruitment Digital Capabilities
SEO for Recruitment
Schema markup for job listings enables rich results in Google for Jobs. Individual listings target specific title and location combinations. Sector pages target the broader audience of passive candidates and clients researching agencies.
GDPR Compliance
Recruitment websites process significant candidate personal data. GDPR compliance requires appropriate consent mechanisms, retention limits, and candidate rights processes. We build compliance into recruitment websites from the outset, not as an afterthought.
Careers Sites for Employers
Careers sites for direct employers have distinct requirements from agency sites. Employer branding, EVP proposition, and the candidate journey from brand to application have specific design and content needs we understand well.

Which ATS do you integrate with?
We integrate with Bullhorn, Vincere, JobAdder, Greenhouse, Workable, and most other major platforms via their APIs. Custom integrations are possible if your system supports API access.
Can you build a job board from scratch or do you use a platform?
Both. Purpose-built platforms suit some requirements. Custom development gives more flexibility and integrates more cleanly with your specific ATS and workflows. We recommend based on your situation.
How do we improve organic search visibility for job queries?
Through correct schema markup, clean URL structures, appropriate canonical handling for expired listings, and sector landing pages with genuine content depth. These technical and content factors together drive meaningful improvement.
Do you build websites for in-house HR teams as well as agencies?
Yes. Careers sites for direct employers have distinct requirements from agency sites. Employer branding, EVP proposition, and the candidate journey from brand to application have specific design and content needs.
What is GDPR compliance like for recruitment websites?
Recruitment websites process significant candidate personal data. GDPR compliance requires appropriate consent mechanisms, retention limits, and candidate rights processes. We build compliance into recruitment websites from the outset.
