Use case
How recruitment agencies use uForge
One platform for the job site that attracts candidates, the pipelines that place them and the client relationships that pay for it.
Short answer: Recruitment agencies use uForge to run their careers site, candidate pipelines and client CRM on one platform. Job pages are built in the website builder, applications land in candidate pipelines with their source attached, screening happens alongside, and business development with employers runs in the same CRM. Recruitment jobs are attributed across six models.

What problem do recruitment agencies bring to uForge?
A typical agency runs a website on one system, an applicant tracking system on another, a CRM for clients on a third, and job-board and social campaigns reported inside each platform. Consultants re-key candidates, marketing cannot say which campaigns produce placements, and the careers site knows nothing about the pipeline behind it.
How does the careers site connect to the pipeline?
Job pages are built in uForge's visual editor on the agency's own domain. Each job is structured content, so title, location, salary band and sector are fields rather than paragraphs, which makes listings consistent and easy to keep up to date. When a candidate applies, the application lands in the right candidate pipeline instead of an inbox.
Job pages are marked up for Google for Jobs, which makes them eligible to appear in Google's job search, and the same jobs can go out by feed to Indeed, Adzuna, Jooble and Talent.com. Candidates are contacts in the CRM, so consultants can search and filter them by skills, region and stage, and save their searches.

How do agencies see which marketing brings candidates?
Sadang records where each visitor came from: a tagged job-board link, a social post, a paid campaign or organic search. When that visitor applies, the application carries the journey behind it, where they gave analytics consent. Recruitment jobs are attributed across six models, from first touch to W-shaped, once a day, so reports cover activity up to yesterday. Our guide to marketing attribution models explains how each one shares credit.
That lets marketing spend move towards the channels that bring candidates who progress, not just the ones that bring clicks.
Where do screening and AI fit?
Screening runs on the same records as the pipeline. AI screening interviews are available through uForge's partner BeCareers for agencies that want them. The consultant still reviews candidates and the employer still decides; screening helps people prioritise, it does not make hiring decisions on its own.
How does client business development fit in?
The same CRM holds employer organisations and contacts, with pipelines for new business and an activity timeline of calls, emails, notes and tasks. Automation rules can assign an owner, create a follow-up task or send an email, SMS or WhatsApp message when something changes, so you can follow up every enquiry and neither candidates nor clients are left waiting.
Where uForge fits
uForge suits agencies that want the job site, the tracking and the pipelines in one place - one system, one login - with UK customer data hosted in AWS London. If you already have a specialist system you are happy with, you can start with the website and tracking and add the recruitment capability later. See uForge industry modules and CRM and automation.
