Recruitment and sales technology

Built from fifteen years inside recruitment: buying, selling, delivering and building the technology.

Live

Recruitment-technology buyers face a large, fragmented market in which visibility is often influenced by vendor size, marketing budgets and paid placement. Buyers struggle to identify products based on the problem they actually need to solve.

An independent recruitment-technology intelligence and discovery platform. It tracks more than 1,350 vendors across approximately 48 categories and lets buyers explore solutions by hiring challenge. It includes a problem-led Solution Finder, TA Tech Pulse, Buyer Trends and a public MCP server that makes its intelligence available through AI tools.

  • More than 1,350 recruitment-technology vendors tracked across approximately 48 categories.
  • Close to 3,000 unique visitors per month, growing from roughly 1,900 unique sessions in an early 58-day measurement period.
  • Subscriber list doubled during the same period.
  • Active commercial and partnership discussions.

Most CRM systems force sellers to adopt a predetermined structure. Different sellers need different data, prospecting signals, workflows and pipeline stages.

A configurable sales operating system that builds itself around how someone actually sells. A user describes their market, goals, sources and sales process. Comperi creates the relevant CRM structure, identifies evidence-backed prospects and supports activity across the pipeline as a digital BDR.

  • The underlying business-development system is actively being used by one salesperson.
  • That salesperson has generated approximately £3,000 in commission in two months.

This evidence belongs to the underlying system and user workflow. Comperi has not generated SaaS revenue.

Companies selling recruitment technology need to know which employers use particular applicant-tracking systems, when they are hiring and where relevant commercial opportunities exist.

A specialist GTM and sales-intelligence platform. It helps users discover employers using systems such as SmartRecruiters, Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby, with career-site URLs, LinkedIn profiles, hiring activity, job counts and company information.

  • Working ATS and employer intelligence.
  • Analyst and commercial interest from members of an industry-specific GTM group.
  • Early conversations suggesting potential commercial or acquisition value.

No transaction is agreed and no prospective buyer is named.

Concept / MVP

Generic and AI-assisted applications make it increasingly difficult for employers to understand genuine candidate fit before interview. Traditional applications rely heavily on claims rather than relevant evidence.

A hiring experience built around clearer job adverts and meaningful, role-specific candidate responses before interview. It is intended to give employers better evidence while creating a more relevant conversation for genuine candidates.

  • Defined problem and proposition.

No users, customers or commercial validation.

Concept / MVP

Recruitment-service fees are commonly connected to activity or placement rather than transparent, verified outcomes. Employers can struggle to measure quality and delivery impact.

An outcome-led hiring platform connecting recruitment payments to agreed performance milestones. It is intended for employers working with RPO, embedded and agency partners, allowing investment to increase as measurable outcomes are achieved.

  • Defined commercial model and proposition.

No customers, transactions or validated revenue.

Consumer products

Everyday decisions that involve too many tabs, too much scattered information and no clear way to compare.

Newly launched

Used-car buyers search across disconnected advertising sites and then need to investigate MOT history, mileage, recurring defects and potential risk separately. Comparing several cars becomes difficult and time-consuming.

A UK used-car aggregation and comparison platform. It brings advertisements from multiple websites and local forecourts into one search. The intended experience identifies registrations, retrieves official MOT information, explains potential risk and allows buyers to compare a shortlist of up to five cars with assistance from Natasha, its AI car-buying guide.

  • Live used-car aggregation platform.
  • Product and comparison experience developed.
  • Awaiting completion or activation of the official MOT-report integration involving DVSA data.

The DVSA MOT integration is pending and is not currently live.

Live

People use separate platforms to track what they watch, rate titles, find streaming availability and decide what to watch next. Existing recommendations often provide lists rather than helping people compare choices meaningfully.

A film and television tracking, rating, comparison and discovery platform. Users can record what they watch, rate films and series and receive more relevant recommendations.

  • More than 100 visitors during its first ten days after launch.
  • Average time spent on the site of almost ten minutes.

This is early evidence and an initial signal rather than established product-market fit.

Newly launched

Planning birthdays, parties and gatherings through group chats creates scattered suggestions, repeated questions and difficulty reaching a decision.

A collaborative planning platform where organisers create an event, gather suggestions, collect votes and make group decisions in one place.

  • Functional live product.
  • No meaningful current visitor traction.

Concept / MVP

Buying and selling every item creates friction for people who primarily want to refresh their wardrobe. Clothes with usable value remain unworn while other people may want them.

A community-powered clothes-swapping platform aimed primarily at Gen Z. Users swipe, match and trade clothes directly to upgrade their wardrobes.

  • Interactive MVP.

No active marketplace, transactions, user base or revenue.

Health and wellbeing

Support built around how people actually think and plan.

Live

Adults with ADHD often struggle to capture thoughts, organise tasks, plan according to their capacity and identify the next manageable action. Conventional productivity applications can create more pressure and complexity.

A calm ADHD support and planning application. It helps users capture thoughts, organise tasks, plan using their available capacity, develop routines, focus and turn unstructured information into manageable next steps.

  • Approximately 150 people joined the initial waitlist.
  • £8,000 in external investment raised to support building, launching and initial marketing.
  • Available through mobile app stores.
  • Partnership with YMCA Tayside through Bear's Big Adventure.

How we work

Build it, test it, decide what to scale.

Building the MVP is the beginning. What happens after people encounter it determines what we do next.

  1. 01

    Identify

    Find a specific problem worth investigating, usually one encountered directly or repeatedly heard from people inside the industry.

  2. 02

    Build

    Create enough of the product to test the proposition properly, not a slide or a landing page.

  3. 03

    Launch

    Put it in front of real users and let them use it without persuasion.

  4. 04

    Measure

    Examine usage, retention, revenue and commercial interest. Read the evidence as it is, not as hoped.

  5. 05

    Decide

    Invest, maintain, license, sell, park or close. A decision is made, and it is allowed to be no.
