Recruitment experience came first. Sofee came afterwards.
Sofee was developed by the team behind Consortia, a recruitment business that has been hiring for companies since 2010.
Where Sofee started
We started using technology to take some of the repetitive work out of recruitment: searching for candidates, matching CVs to a role, keeping notes together and managing the admin around a search.
There were parts we didn't want to automate away.
Recruiters still review the people Sofee finds, check candidates the technology may have overlooked and speak to the people they want to progress. Employers still decide who they want to interview and who they ultimately hire.
Sofee brings those two things together: technology that lets us search and process more quickly, and experienced recruiters where judgement and conversation still matter.
Who Sofee is for
Busy founders, HR managers, operations leads, PAs and office managers. Anyone tasked with making a hire who doesn't want to spend three days writing a brief for an agency that will charge twenty percent for the privilege. Typically businesses of around 20 to 200 people without a recruiter of their own.
We hire across finance, sales, marketing, HR, operations and administration. From an administrator or executive assistant to a finance manager, marketing lead or head of operations.
