For UK Recruitment Agencies

The infrastructure layer for UK recruitment agencies — reactivate the database you already paid for, and keep your Right-to-Work compliance audit-ready, without your candidate data ever touching a public AI model.

Turn your dormant ATS database back into billable placements, while keeping your RTW records audit-ready.

Two problems every UK agency has, and nobody solves well

You're paying to re-find candidates you already have

Agencies sit on 5,000–50,000+ cold candidate profiles while still paying for LinkedIn Recruiter seats and job board licenses. Your ATS has the talent. It just isn't surfaced.

RTW compliance lives in spreadsheets and inboxes

Civil penalties are now up to £45,000 (first breach) / £60,000 (repeat) per illegal worker, and most agencies have no clean audit trail. One missed expiry date is a six-figure exposure.

In force since 13 Feb 2024

Three steps. No black box.

Kruo plugs into your existing ATS and works alongside it — not instead of it.

1

Connect (read-only)

Kruo connects to your existing ATS via API and reads structured fields only — skills tags, last-contacted date, RTW status, document expiry. Never bulk-exporting full CVs unless configured.

Read-only API
2

Match & flag

Dormant candidates are scored against open roles using deterministic, rules-based logic — not AI guesswork. RTW records are checked against static, verified Home Office rules and flagged ahead of deadlines.

Deterministic logic
3

Human sign-off

Every match and every RTW flag goes to a recruiter or compliance lead for review. Nothing is auto-sent to a candidate or client without a person approving it.

Human-in-the-loop

Built for agencies who are (rightly) protective of their database

Your candidate data is your competitive advantage. Here's exactly how we handle it.

No raw candidate data goes to an LLM

Matching runs on structured ATS fields with deterministic logic. RTW rules are hardcoded against verified Home Office guidance, not model inference.

No training on your data

Standard commercial API terms explicitly exclude customer data from being used for model training. Your data stays your data.

UK/EU data residency

Infrastructure hosted in UK/EU regions under UK GDPR. No data leaves the jurisdiction.

Row-level tenant isolation

No agency can ever see another agency's data. Tenant boundaries are enforced at the database row level, not just the application layer.

Human-in-the-loop

Every outbound action — candidate outreach, client report, compliance flag — requires explicit sign-off from a person. Nothing is automated without approval.

Full audit trail

Every action, match, and RTW check is logged with timestamp and user. Exportable for Home Office inspections and internal reviews.

What makes Kruo different

vs. Your ATS itself

Your ATS is the system of record — Kruo is the layer that makes your existing database work harder without replacing anything.

vs. Generic AI sourcing tools

We don't feed your candidates' CVs into an outside AI. Ever. Matching is deterministic, not probabilistic.

vs. Doing nothing

A dormant database stays dormant. An unmonitored RTW record is a £45k+ exposure. Both problems compound the longer they're ignored.
