Your consultants are probably doing too much low-leverage work
Recruitment consultants need to build client relationships, manage candidates, fill roles, chase feedback, source talent, keep the CRM clean, schedule interviews and follow up after placements. When one person owns everything, business development becomes inconsistent and delivery becomes reactive.
Billing time lost to low-leverage work
When consultants own everything, business development becomes inconsistent and delivery becomes reactive.
BD that slips when delivery gets busy
Selling hours lost to sourcing and admin
BD slips when delivery gets busy
When live roles demand attention, new client outreach often gets pushed back.
Candidate sourcing eats into selling time
Good shortlists take time, but every sourcing hour can reduce time spent developing client relationships.
CRM and ATS hygiene fall behind
Messy data creates poor follow-up, missed opportunities and less visibility across the team.
Admin interrupts momentum
Interview scheduling, candidate chasing, compliance checks and follow-ups can pull consultants away from closing.
Dedicated recruitment support that fits around your desk
Cape Solutions can provide trained professionals who support your existing consultants across sales development, candidate sourcing, admin, CRM/ATS updates and follow-up workflows. The role is built around your market, desk structure, systems and standards.
Client prospecting and BD support
Research target companies, identify decision-makers, support outreach and create more consistent client development activity.
Candidate sourcing support
Build candidate longlists, screen against agreed criteria, update records and help consultants move faster from role intake to shortlist.
CRM/ATS data hygiene
Clean records, update contact information, log activity, maintain pipeline stages and create a more reliable data foundation.
Interview scheduling and follow-ups
Coordinate availability, send reminders, chase feedback and help maintain momentum through the recruitment process.
Compliance and mobilisation admin
Support document collection, onboarding steps, checks and administrative workflows where the process is clearly defined.
Aftercare and check-ins
Support candidate and client follow-ups after placement so the relationship stays warm and issues are flagged early.
More client conversations. Cleaner pipeline. Less consultant overload.
Cape Solutions’ existing recruitment proposition is built around sales development, candidate resourcing, compliance, mobilisation, admin and aftercare. For PPC, the page should make this more commercially direct: the goal is to protect consultant time and increase desk efficiency.

How recruitment support is set up
Desk review
We look at your desk structure, sectors, systems, bottlenecks and what consultants are spending too much time on.
Role design
We define the tasks, handover rules, candidate/client criteria, CRM/ATS workflow, reporting and success measures.
Training
Your support professional is trained around your market, tone, process, systems, compliance expectations and desk priorities.
Delivery
They begin supporting BD, sourcing, admin, scheduling or aftercare inside your agreed workflow.
Improvement
You review quality, speed, consultant feedback and desk impact so the role keeps improving.
Common concerns from recruitment agencies
“Will they understand our niche?”
The role should be trained around your sector, roles, terminology, target clients and candidate criteria before work begins.
“Will this replace consultants?”
No. The strongest use case is support, not replacement. Cape Solutions helps consultants spend more time on higher-value work.
“Can they work in our ATS?”
Yes. CRM/ATS usage, data standards, notes and workflow should be part of setup.
“Can they speak to candidates or clients?”
Yes, depending on the role you design. Some support roles are admin/research-led, while others can handle phone and email communication.
