The Recruitment Network (TRN) has partnered with Bobcheck, a leading revenue protection platform. This partnership provides TRN members with access to cutting-edge tools and strategies to tackle one of the recruitment industry's most pervasive issues—missed fees. a hidden yet significant revenue drain caused by candidates being hired without the agency’s knowledge. Enter Bobcheck, the original revenue protection software built to address this very challenge and empower recruitment businesses to safeguard their earnings.
Who Is Bobcheck?
Bobcheck is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform designed specifically for recruitment agencies to track and recover missed fees. It operates on a subscription model, ensuring agencies retain all recovered revenue without any commission cuts. Seamlessly integrating with leading Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) such as Bullhorn,JobAdder andVincere , Bobcheck simplifies candidate tracking with:
- Automatic Monitoring: Tracks candidates logged as “CV sent” or “Interview” and continuously checks for over a year to detect backdoor hires.
- Scalability: Processes up to 10,000 candidate records in under 10 minutes, eliminating time-intensive manual tracking.
Why Bobcheck Is Essential for Recruitment Agencies
Missed fees occur more often than agencies realise, with 1 in every 2,000 CVs sent resulting in a lost fee. For a 40-recruiter agency processing 10,000 CVs annually, this could mean approximately five missed fees each year—a substantial loss for SMEs. Bobcheck has already identified over £1.5 million in missed fees for its clients. Providing bi-weekly alerts when discrepancies are identified:
- Time Savings: Recruitment SMEs often lack the resources to manually track thousands of candidates. Bobcheck automates the process, freeing teams to focus on what they do best—building relationships and closing deals.
- Revenue Recovery: By identifying missed fees early, agencies can act quickly to recover lost revenue without damaging client relationships.
- Ease of Use: With API integrations into popular ATS platforms and support for CSV uploads, Bobcheck ensures accessibility for all agencies, regardless of their tech stack.
- Insights for Improvement: They don’t just flag issues; it help agencies understand why they occurred, enabling process improvements and reducing future losses.
What Causes a “Bob”?
“Bob,” shorthand for “behind our back,” refers to scenarios where a candidate is hired without the agency’s involvement. This can happen for various reasons:
- Delayed Reconnection: Clients reconnect with candidates long after a CV is submitted, bypassing the agency.
- Recruiter Turnover: When recruiters leave an agency, follow-ups with their candidates may fall through the cracks.
Without a robust tracking system like Bobcheck, many of these incidents go unnoticed, leaving agencies unable to recover lost fees.
