Recruitment software that gets the right person in the door

Recruitment software that keeps hiring on track

Most recruitment software UK teams use was built to log applications, not manage a hire. The vacancy sits in one place. The offer letter lives in another. Nobody notices a candidate has gone quiet until someone remembers to check, and by then they've accepted a role elsewhere.

Ciphr's HR recruitment software gives every vacancy, application and offer one home. You know where a hire stands. And you don't have to search an inbox to find out.

One HR recruitment system, not five different email threads

HR recruitment system that keeps everyone aligned

You post the vacancy. CVs come in. Candidates get screened. Offers go out. And somewhere in all of that, HR, hiring managers, and payroll are working from a slightly different version of the same story.

Ciphr's HR recruitment software sits inside the same connected suite as your HR, onboarding, and payroll data. A confirmed hire triggers the onboarding workflow. A new starter record flows through to payroll. No re-keying. No chasing. No gap where the system falls behind the process.

That is the difference between online recruitment software that stands alone and an HR recruitment system that is part of how your organisation works.

From first application to day-one ready

From first application to day-one ready

Ciphr iRecruit is available as a standalone online recruitment software solution for organisations that want to start with hiring. It also integrates with Ciphr HR and Ciphr onboarding when you’re ready to connect the full journey.

When those systems are connected, the admin that would otherwise fall on your team happens automatically. The accepted offer creates the new starter record. The right-to-work check sits with the employment file. Onboarding tasks go out on schedule. Payroll has what it needs before the first payday.

A leaver triggers a vacancy. A hire triggers onboarding. This is what HR hiring software looks like when it is part of a suite rather than a standalone tool.

Ciphr iRecruit makes the recruitment process less arduous and paper-based. Staff can access the system anywhere, any time, and shortlist applicants. It’s totally changed our process for the better.

Hiring data you can stand behind

Hiring data you can stand behind

When the HR director asks what the campaign status is, you shouldn’t need to pull three reports from three different places. Ciphr iRecruit gives you end-to-end visibility across every live role: candidate volumes, application source, time to hire, stage-by-stage progress, and diversity data, all from one HR recruitment system.

When the CFO asks what hiring cost last quarter, the answer shouldn’t take an afternoon to find. With Ciphr, the data you report is the same data the process ran on.

Built for UK hiring, not adapted for it

Built for UK hiring, not adapted for it

Ciphr is a UK company. Ciphr iRecruit is built around UK hiring requirements from the ground up: right to work verification, UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act, and the compliance obligations that come with recruiting in this market.

Right to work and background checks run through integrations with Experian and TrustID , so you have an auditable record without the manual back-and-forth. Candidate data is held under UK GDPR, processed and stored in the UK. Your data does not travel through a global platform that was configured for a different market first.

A system adapted for the UK is not the same as one built for it. When compliance is not optional, that difference matters.

"User‑friendly and easy to navigate, making it simple for employees to access their personal data. The system is highly accessible, and the customer service is supportive. Ciphr continually improves the platform and provides excellent short learning tutorials to help us make the most of its functionality."

The connected suite is what makes AI useful in recruitment

The connected suite is what makes AI useful in recruitment

Ciphr's approach to AI starts with connected data. When all your HR data is joined up, AI tools have the complete picture rather than just a fragment. 

We're building AI capability into our wider connected HR suite, including an AI assistant. 

When AI capabilities arrive in our recruitment software, we'll tell you what's been shipped and what's still on our roadmap. 

Built for UK mid-market HR, the right functionality for your needs

Built for UK mid-market HR, the right functionality for your needs

Ciphr iRecruit is designed for organisations with complex recruitment requirements – multiple roles, multiple sites, volume hiring peaks, compliance obligations – but without the appetite for a years-long enterprise implementation.

It is recruitment software UK teams can get live quickly, use without heavy IT involvement, and scale as the organisation grows.

Implementation is part of the product, not an afterthought

Implementation is part of the product, not an afterthought

You’ aren't handed a login and left to work out the configuration. Ciphr's implementation is a structured, supported process: your vacancy templates set up, your application forms configured to your hiring workflow, and a named team to guide you through go-live and beyond.

Most hiring software UK vendors treat setup as your problem. We treat it as ours.

Go live in as little as 7 weeks

Your implementation covers vacancy template setup, custom application form configuration, job board connection (through partners such as Vacancy Poster), data migration, and named team support right through to go-live. You test the system before it goes live. You do not find out what is missing on day one.
