At a glance
What we build
We build job boards, applicant tracking, candidate and client portals, onboarding, timesheets, and AI-assisted screening for recruiters and HR teams.
Problems we solve
Candidates apply and hear nothing, recruiters copy details between job boards, inboxes, and spreadsheets, and clients chase updates by phone.
Who we serve
Recruitment agencies, staffing firms, in-house talent teams, HR departments, and HR technology startups.
How to choose
Start with applicant tracking and a candidate portal if speed to placement matters, or with onboarding and timesheets if you place temporary staff.
What is different
Why recruiters need their own platform
Recruitment is a speed business. The best candidates are off the market within days, and the agency that shortlists first usually places. Every hour spent copying a CV between systems is an hour a competitor uses.
Off-the-shelf applicant tracking tools cover the basics, but many agencies bend their process to fit them. A platform built around your desks, sectors, and clients lets recruiters work the way they win.
Candidates notice the difference too. A clear application, status updates, and a simple portal for documents turn a stressful search into a good experience, and good experiences become referrals.
We add AI where it saves time without making decisions about people. It can summarize CVs, suggest matches, and draft messages, while recruiters always make the call.
The result is a desk that runs on one system. Recruiters see every candidate, client, and role in one place, managers see which desks and sources produce placements, and the business can grow without adding administrators for every new recruiter.

What clients say
Teams like yours, in their own words
We were spending too much time sorting incoming tickets by hand, so we asked DECHY for help. Our agents still make the final call, but now they start in a better place.
James BennettCustomer Support ManagerRelayDesk Customer ServicesProfessional Services I was worried we'd end up sending customers canned answers. Amara at DECHY understood that. I like that unusual questions still reach a person who can actually help.
Chloe MartinCustomer Experience LeadKindred HomewareRetail I felt bad when a new starter arrived without access to the tools they needed. DECHY helped us get that handoff right, and we no longer depend on one person remembering everything.

Common questions
Questions about recruitment software
How much does an applicant tracking system cost?
A custom applicant tracking system usually costs $16,000 to $36,000 and takes 5 to 8 weeks. A full platform with portals and AI costs more.
Can you connect to the job boards we use?
Usually, yes. We post roles and import applications through job board interfaces where they offer them.
Will AI decide who gets hired?
No. AI helps summarize and match, but recruiters and hiring managers make every decision.
Can clients see shortlists online?
Yes. Clients get a portal for shortlists, feedback, and interview booking.
Can it handle temporary staff and timesheets?
Yes. Workers submit hours, clients approve them, and pay and invoices are created automatically.
How do you protect candidate data?
Access is role-based, data is encrypted, and retention rules delete records when they are no longer needed.
