One pipeline
Every applicant, every role, one board. No more three spreadsheets and a shared inbox.
Hiring software · Built for small teams
Hire your next five without a recruiter
Rookery gives a small team the hiring machinery a big one takes for granted: one pipeline, structured scorecards, and scheduling that stops the email tennis.

What you get
Everything a recruiter would charge for
Twenty per cent of first-year salary buys a spreadsheet and a phone. This is the rest of it.
Structured scorecards
The same questions and the same scale for every candidate, so a decision survives being questioned.
Scheduling that ends
Share your panel's real availability once; candidates book themselves and the invites write themselves.
Nobody goes cold
Rookery nudges you before a candidate has been waiting five days, because that is when good ones leave.
Honest numbers
Source, stage conversion and time-to-hire per role — the three that tell you where hiring is stuck.
Compliant by default
GDPR retention windows, candidate data requests and audit history handled without a policy meeting.
How it works
Three steps, one afternoon
Write the role once
Answer six questions and Rookery drafts the advert, the scorecard and the interview plan together, so they actually match.
Post it everywhere
One click to the boards you already use, plus a careers page that looks like your company rather than a form.
Run the board
Move people along, score them as you go, and let the scheduling and the follow-ups happen without you.
“The point of hiring software isn't to replace judgement — it's to give a six-person team the reach of a sixty-person one, while the humans still make the call.”

Questions
Fair questions
Do you read or score CVs with AI?
We summarise and we surface, we do not rank or reject. A person moves every candidate, and the scorecard is filled in by your interviewers — automated rejection is where hiring tools get themselves and their customers into trouble.
Can we bring candidates we already have?
Yes. Import a CSV or forward applications to a role's address and they land in Applied with their attachments and the original message.
What happens when a role closes?
The board is archived with its scorecards and history intact, the seat frees up on the next invoice, and candidate data ages out on the retention window you set.
Does it work for contract and freelance hiring?
Yes — the same board with day rates and availability instead of salary bands. Most studios run both from one workspace.
Where is candidate data held?
The EU or the UK, chosen at signup. Candidates can request their data or its deletion from a link in every message we send on your behalf.
