Open the role
Every growing recruitment firm eventually hires for itself.
And every in-house team eventually uses agencies. At that point most products make you choose a category you no longer fit, and the answer is a second system with the same people in it twice.
The decision that makes it work
Mode is a property of the role, not of your company.
One requisition is a client's search: it has a client, submissions, a fee, a guarantee, partner firms, and a second status axis for what the client has said. The next requisition in the same list is your own office manager: no client, no fee, no submissions, and a route through to an employee record.
Same product. Same list. Different behaviour, decided per role.
- Requirements, evidence and the interview layer●●
- Offers, and the letter with its signature trail●●
- A client on the other side of it○●
- Submissions, and a second status axis○●
- Partner firms and the ownership claim○●
- A fee, a guarantee and an invoice○●
- Becomes an employee record and a payroll run●○
Why this matters commercially
An in-house team is not sold a smaller product.
The usual shape of this market is an agency product and an in-house product, with the in-house one missing the parts that were expensive to build. Here it is the same product with the client-facing half switched off — so an in-house team gets the interview evidence layer, the requirement-level verdicts, the compliance screens and the whole reading layer without paying for a category.
And the switch runs the other way the day you place somebody for somebody else.
- One candidate database underneath —
Somebody you interviewed for a client last year is the same person when they apply to you directly.
- The vocabulary follows the mode —
What a role's internal states are called differs between your own hire and a client's, because those genuinely are different processes.
- Analytics separate cleanly —
Client work and your own hiring do not contaminate each other's funnel numbers.
The honest asymmetry
One thing the corporate side is still missing.
An in-house team's distinguishing process is headcount approval — a role that cannot open until somebody signs off. That is not built. The approval engine exists and offers route through it; requisitions do not.
Everything else on the corporate side works as described. But if your evaluation turns on requisition sign-off, you should hear that from this page rather than from a demo.
What people ask
Usually while working out which half they are.
›Are we buying the agency edition or the in-house one?
Neither. There is one product, and mode is set per role.
›We are in-house and use agencies. Does that work?
Yes, and it is the case the vendor portal was built for — your partner firms get their own login, their assignments, the ownership claim and their invoices.
›Can an in-house requisition require sign-off?
Not today. That is the one corporate-side gap and it is a real one.
›Does our own hiring show up in client analytics?
No. They separate on mode.
›Do we pay twice if we do both?
No. One workspace, one seat count — and portal users for clients, vendors and candidates are not counted as seats at all.
