Story behind Jobfam: Bridging the Recruitment Gap in the UK

Recruitment Challenges in the UK

The UK labour market is large but highly inefficient. The Office for National Statistics reported around 916,000 job vacancies in early [2024 ons.gov.uk] , a high level even after recent declines yet employers often struggle to fill them. Indeed found that 55% of job applications go unanswered [hrreview.co.uk] , leaving candidates in limbo and eroding morale. Hiring managers feel the pain too: 61% say they waste time on inefficient or lengthy hiring processes[hrreview.co.uk].

Vacancies vs. Unemployment

Even with nearly a million vacancies [ons.gov.uk], there remain many jobseekers. Yet matching them is hard: 79% of applicants say it’s arduous to find suitable roles [hrreview.co.uk], and over half eventually give up searching. These stats show plenty of jobs exist, but the system fails to connect the right people with the right roles.

High Cost

Recruitment is costly. The Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development (CIPD) estimates that total cost per hire (including advertising, screening and admin) can range £600–£1,750 for typical roles [natwestmentor.co.uk]. Employers spend hours drafting ads, posting on multiple sites, and sorting applications, often with poor results.

How It Started

Our journey began in the UK with a simple observation. In the UK, there are top universities, a high quality of education, too many capable people, but still struggling to get hired.

We noticed that a large number of candidates were being rejected before they even had a chance to speak with an employer. The majority of these rejections were happening during the CV screening stage.

To understand the problem better, we spoke with hundreds of people. We interviewed university students looking for their first opportunity, students searching for part-time jobs, and experienced professionals who were trying to make a career change. At the same time, we had conversations with business owners, industry experts, and HR professionals.

What we discovered was clear: the hiring process was broken on both sides.

Candidates were struggling to present themselves effectively, while employers were overwhelmed with inefficient tools and time-consuming processes.

What We Do Now

We analysed the insights and data carefully to identify the key bottlenecks in the hiring process.

We found that while some solutions existed in the market, they were fragmented and disconnected. Employers and candidates often had to jump between multiple platforms, which reduced efficiency and increased costs. In many cases, the tools available were also expensive and overly complicated.

Instead of simply replicating what already existed, we decided to rebuild the process from the ground up.

We developed better software solutions for both candidates and employers, including tools that previously did not exist in the market. Our platform integrates AI to handle repetitive and time-consuming tasks, allowing people to focus on decisions that truly require human insight.

By combining smarter technology with better product design, we are making the hiring process simpler, faster, and more effective.

What We Believe

We believe technology should empower people, not complicate their work.

AI should make us more efficient, not replace human creativity. As AI technology continues to evolve, it should also become more accessible and affordable for everyone.

Our software is designed to eliminate repetitive and tedious tasks so users can focus on what matters most. We have already simplified job posting, reduced pricing ambiguity, and streamlined the hiring process using AI and modern software architecture.

To us, real technological progress means making existing systems cheaper, easier, and faster.

That is the future we are building.

No Hidden Fees

Traditional recruitment agencies often charge between 10–35% of an annual salary as placement fees. In the UK, the average cost per hire sits around £6,125.

At Jobfam, you pay nothing to post and only pay for services when you’re ready—transparent pricing and no surprises.
