Your asset isn’t only your candidate database.

It’s all the knowledge your team has built about them: CVs, interviews, notes, emails, searches, relationships and past processes.

A recruitment firm can have an ATS and still do too much manual work.

  • CVs

    Thousands of documents someone has to read and structure.

  • Search

    Finding the right candidates inside years of past processes.

  • Email and WhatsApp

    Clients, candidates, interviews and feedback spread across threads.

  • Notes

    Valuable information in free-text fields or outside the system.

  • Clients

    Briefings that evolve during the process.

  • Follow-up

    Reminders that depend on the team’s memory.

A recruiter should spend their time understanding people. Not copying information between tools.

If your ATS works well, it can stay.

Digitup builds the intelligence layer around it: search, automations, WhatsApp, email, interviews, dashboards, portals and specialised tools.

Smart briefing

Turn a client meeting into a structured search: profile, must/nice, location, compensation and risks — the recruiter reviews and creates the search.

  1. Capture

    Audio, notes or client email.

  2. Structure

    AI proposes requirements and priorities.

  3. Impact

    If the briefing changes, the system shows who still fits and who loses relevance.

03 / Candidates

A CV is only a small part of the candidate

Experience, languages, compensation, availability, past processes, interviews, notes, communication and documents — in a single view.

CV Intelligence

Turn thousands of CVs into information you can actually search: name, location, companies, roles, skills and languages — with human review before saving.

  • Parser

    PDF → structured data.

  • Review

    The recruiter confirms or corrects.

  • Living database

    Someone who didn’t fit two years ago may be perfect today.

04 / AI Search

Search candidates the way you’d talk to another recruiter

On context, not just keywords. AI shortens the list; the recruiter chooses who to meet.

There’s no point rebuilding a tool that already works well.

We build when the process is distinctive, information is fragmented, the ATS limits the team, or your history is underused.

AI to expand the recruiter’s capacity. Not to replace their judgement.

It can structure CVs, search, summarise interviews, compare and draft communications. Who advances, who fits and who gets an offer remains a human decision.

  • AI prepares

    Organises information and cuts noise.

  • Recruiter decides

    Assesses, connects and closes.

  • Human review

    Sensitive operations with oversight.

  • Authorised sources

    Only data the team is allowed to access.

13 / Process

First we want to see how you recruit

  1. We understand

    Clients, roles, ATS, sourcing and communication.

  2. We observe

    From briefing through to hire.

  3. We spot friction

    Manual work, duplication, underused historical database.

  4. We prioritise

    What can create the most impact.

  5. We design, build and evolve

    Software, AI, integrations and automations.

You don’t need the full platform on day one

  • CV Intelligence
  • AI Search
  • WhatsApp + Email
  • Interview Copilot
  • Client Portal
  • Recruitment OS

Candidate information under control

  • Permissions

    Access by role.

  • History

    Change logging when needed.

  • Privacy

    Each user sees only what they should.

  • Integrations

    Limited access to authorised systems.

We can stay on as your technology team

  • Infrastructure

    Hosting, APIs, backups, monitoring.

  • Security and AI

    Updates, prompts and costs.

  • Evolution

    New features, verticals and workflows.

Imagine tomorrow…

  1. New CV

    The system detects 3 matching roles.

  2. Historical search

    11 candidates already known for the role.

  3. WhatsApp → calendar

    Interview confirmed without copying data.

  4. Interview → summary

    Strengths and concerns on the profile.

  5. Briefing changes

    Impact on the shortlist visible instantly.

  6. Shortlist ready

    A clear presentation for the client.

  7. Feedback in the portal

    Feeds straight back into the process.

  8. Leadership sees blockers

    Load and timing dashboard.

None of these actions is complex. The problem is having to repeat them across tools every day.

Your database shouldn’t be a historical archive.

It should be one of your greatest assets.

Your next perfect candidate may already be in your system.

The problem is finding them.

You don’t need to arrive with a solution already figured out

Then we decide what’s worth doing: connect, automate, improve or build.

  • ATS and search

    What works and where the team gets stuck.

  • Interviews and shortlists

    How knowledge is captured and presented.

  • WhatsApp and email

    Where the thread gets lost with candidates and clients.

  • Historical database

    How much already-known talent is underused.

  • Repeated tasks

    What the system should remember.

How much candidate knowledge is hard to use today?

We don’t want to sell you another ATS. We want to understand how you recruit and find where software and AI can truly help.
