You have just launched new plans, what can you tell us about them and why have you launched them?
With recruiters grappling with record-high application volumes and growing workloads, JobAdder has made a strategic investment in cutting-edge AI technology to streamline processes and enhance efficiency.
Central to this is a set of three Recruiter Plans (Recruiter Lite, Recruiter Essential and Recruiter Pro), carefully crafted for agencies at every stage – from startups to global firms, designed to streamline workflows, slash manual tasks and let recruiters dedicate their time to what matters the most: building relationships.
The latest suite is built to grow with recruiters throughout their journey and include:
Smarter Talent Management: Our Candidate Database will feature cleanup tools, intelligent matching, AI-powered summaries, and automated rejection and compliance emails — all designed to streamline recruiter workflows. We are continuing to enhance this crucial functionality in the coming months.
Stronger Client Engagement: New business development–focused Client Check-In automation and Opportunity Outreach tools ensure timely, tailored follow-ups with clients.
Global Enablement & Insights: From localised lead feeds and saved search folders to benchmark dashboards and in-product guidance via JAA, we’re delivering data-driven support tailored to each region.

You recently released your 2025 State of Employment Recruitment Report – what is the purpose of the report, and who is it for?
The 2025 State of Employment Recruitment Report is an annual industry analysis, focusing on recruitment trends across the UK, Australia and New Zealand. Its primary purpose is to provide recruitment agencies and corporate talent acquisition teams with data-driven insights to benchmark their performance, understand market shifts, and adapt strategies for the upcoming year.
What are the Key highlights from the 2025 report?
The Report reveals that recruiters are experiencing a significant increase in workload, with a 26% surge in applications per job role, while 69% of recruiters say employer expectations have grown* – creating a perfect storm of pressure, admin overload, and candidate drop-off.
This underscores the urgent need for scalable, intelligent recruitment solutions that can help agencies streamline their workflows, reduce manual tasks, and focus on building meaningful relationships with candidates.
