Finding the right job search platform in the UK can be challenging, especially when many platforms are built around profit rather than people. If you're part of a human resources team looking for a recruitment solution that truly supports both applicants and employers, Kaplunk is the ethical answer you've been waiting for.
At Kaplunk, we believe in revolutionising the recruitment industry by putting people first. We understand the frustrations many HR professionals face when dealing with traditional job search platforms that are more focused on fees, commissions, and middlemen than on connecting the right talent with the right employers. Our approach is different — and that difference starts with our values.
The UK's recruitment industry is a £40 billion-a-year market, driven by agencies that charge employers substantial fees to find suitable applicants. While this model has become the standard, it has created an environment where profit often trumps fairness. Recruitment agencies and job boards focus on securing as many clients as possible, prioritising commissions and bonuses over the actual needs of both employers and candidates.
In this money-driven industry, applicants can feel like just another number, while employers may struggle to identify the right candidates in a sea of automated applications. This is where Kaplunk comes in, offering a fairer and more transparent alternative.
At Kaplunk, our goal is to disrupt the traditional recruitment landscape by focusing on ethical employment practices. We believe that hiring should be about finding the right person for the right role, not about lining the pockets of recruitment agencies. Here’s how we are different:
Promoting Equal Opportunities and Diversity
At Kaplunk, we are passionate about creating diverse and inclusive working environments. We believe that everyone deserves equal access to job opportunities, regardless of their background, gender, ethnicity, or disability. Our platform is designed to promote equal opportunities by ensuring that job listings are accessible to a wide range of applicants.
We actively work to help employers promote diversity in their hiring processes. Whether through inclusive job descriptions, unbiased applicant reviews, or tools that enable better communication, Kaplunk is committed to helping organisations build diverse teams. For HR professionals focused on creating an inclusive workplace, Kaplunk is the perfect partner.
No Middleman – Direct Connections Between Employers and Applicants
One of the most frustrating aspects of the recruitment process for both employers and applicants is the presence of a middleman. Recruitment agencies often act as gatekeepers, complicating the process by filtering applications and charging for their services. This can lead to miscommunication, delays, and a lack of transparency.
At Kaplunk we eliminate the middleman entirely. Employers and applicants can connect directly, making the recruitment process faster, simpler, and more transparent. By cutting out intermediaries, we create a fairer playing field where communication is open and honest, helping employers find the right fit more efficiently.
Applicants at the Centre of the Process
While many job platforms claim to be focused on applicants, their fee-based models often tell a different story. At Kaplunk, we truly put applicants at the heart of our platform. Our goal is to create an environment where job seekers feel supported and valued throughout their job search journey.
We’ve designed our platform to be user-friendly, with features that make it easy for applicants to apply for jobs, communicate directly with employers, and track their progress. We provide helpful resources and tips to assist applicants in finding the right opportunities while ensuring a fair and transparent process at every step.
If you’re part of an HR team responsible for recruitment, we can help streamline your hiring process while upholding the highest ethical standards. With no fees to post jobs, no middlemen slowing down communication, and a focus on promoting diverse and inclusive workplaces, we make it easy for you to connect with the right candidates.
Our platform is designed to save you time and money while ensuring a transparent and straightforward hiring experience. By partnering with us you can focus on what truly matters: building a team that reflects your company’s values and goals.
