For recruitment agencies
Compono is an applicant tracking system (ATS) and recruitment CRM for agencies: smaller to mid-sized firms that win on placement quality. Every candidate is culture-matched against the client's best people, so you present evidence instead of instinct. A large agency on Bullhorn or Vincere, running on workflow volume, should stay there.
The problems agency owners describe to us before we talk about the product. If these sound familiar, the section after this is the answer.
The resume matched and the interviews went well. In month four the client rings to say it is not working, and you run the search again under guarantee for a fee you already banked.
Across more than 20,000 new hires, 46% failed within 18 months, and 89% of those failures came down to attitude rather than technical skill.
Candidates use AI to polish a resume and send hundreds of applications overnight. Clients run AI screeners to cope. Everything looks the same, and the one candidate you would stake the fee on reads like the other four hundred.
74% of job seekers in the United States are using AI themselves, and 34% of recruiters spend up to half their week filtering spam and junk applications.
You hire a good consultant and the client still asks for you. The trust sits in your history with the account, and the new recruiter spends months earning the right to have a shortlist read properly.
93% of talent acquisition professionals say accurately assessing a candidate's skills improves quality of hire, and 61% believe AI can improve how they measure it.
When the placement is done, the client keeps the person and you keep nothing. The next brief opens from zero against every other agency, and the only things left to compare are fee and turnaround.
13% of recruiting employers used a recruitment agency in 2025, against 58% who went straight to an online job board.

Two-minute story
Walk through how a recruiter builds the evidence for a hire: one link to the client's top performers, a benchmark built from how they work, and every applicant ranked against it.
Six screens, one quick pick, about two minutes. No email.
Every candidate, interview-ready
A CV review and a five-minute pep call is all the prep most agencies can give at the volume they place. Hey Compono gives every candidate real interview coaching, delivered as part of your placement service.
They practise on their own time. You see who is ready. Better-prepared candidates land better placements, and fewer fall over.
