White-Label Hiring Pipeline Offer for Staffing-Adjacent Clients (10-15 days)
Agencies package a client-branded applicant tracking workflow (posting, screening, scheduling, offer) for small staffing-adjacent clients who have no recruiting operations of their own. The agency configures the pipeline, writes the screening logic, and hands over a working hiring system on a retainer.
- A signed scope that names which hiring stages the agency owns versus which stay with the client's hiring manager. Client access to at least one job board account and an email domain the agency can send from. A written data-handling note covering candidate PII, retention windows, and who is the controller of record. One named client-side hiring owner with authority to approve screening criteria. A shortlist of two platforms from the category, scored on white-label support, per-seat pricing, and export rights.
- 1.Map the client's current hiring flow from job requisition to signed offer
- 2.Count open roles, average time-to-fill, and where candidates currently drop out
- 3.Confirm which stages the agency will operate and which the client keeps
- 1.Score two shortlisted platforms on white-label branding, seat cost, and data export
- 2.Check whether candidate records can be exported in full on contract exit
- 3.Get written client sign-off on the chosen platform before any configuration
- 1.Set up the client's branded career page and job posting templates
- 2.Connect job board distribution accounts and verify each feed publishes correctly
- 3.Document the posting checklist the client will reuse for every new role
- 1.Build the pipeline stages to match the client's real hiring steps, not the platform defaults
- 2.Configure rejection reasons and stage-exit rules so reporting stays clean
- 3.Test the pipeline with three dummy candidates end to end
- 1.Write screening questions and knockout criteria with the client's hiring owner
- 2.Set up AI-assisted fit scoring and record the threshold the client approved
- 3.Add a human review checkpoint before any auto-rejection fires
- 1.Configure interview scheduling links and calendar handoff
- 2.Build offer letter templates with eSignature routing
- 3.Test the full candidate journey from application to signed offer
- 1.Draft candidate-facing email and SMS templates for each pipeline stage
- 2.Set response-time expectations and escalation rules for stalled candidates
- 3.Review all automated messages for tone and legal disclosure requirements
- 1.Build the weekly hiring dashboard: applicants per role, stage conversion, time-to-fill
- 2.Add a data quality check for duplicate and incomplete candidate records
- 3.Schedule the recurring report to the client's hiring owner
- 1.Run a live pilot on one open role with real applicants
- 2.Watch for misrouted candidates and fix stage rules the same day
- 3.Log every manual workaround so it can be automated or documented
- 1.Train the client's hiring team in a 60-minute session with a recorded walkthrough
- 2.Hand over the admin guide covering posting, screening, and reporting
- 3.Agree the retainer scope: who monitors the pipeline and how often
- 1.Run a final audit of candidate data, permissions, and export settings
- 2.Confirm the client can retrieve all candidate records without agency help
- 3.Close out the project with a written handover summary
The agency charges for configuration and screening logic, not for software, so margin sits in the 11-day build and the ongoing pipeline monitoring retainer. Small staffing-adjacent clients rarely have a recruiter who can own an ATS, and replacing that role costs far more than a monthly retainer. The retainer renews because hiring never stops and the agency becomes the operator of record for every open role.
- Configured client-branded career page with job board distribution tested on live feeds
- Documented pipeline stages, screening criteria, and knockout rules approved by the client
- Candidate communication templates and scheduling handoff
- Weekly hiring dashboard with stage conversion and time-to-fill metrics
- Admin guide and recorded training walkthrough for the client's hiring team
The client's hiring team posts a live role, screens and schedules at least one real candidate, and pulls the weekly hiring report without agency assistance.
