Brindle combines resume templating and reference checks into a single recruitment operations platform built for volume.

Designed for labour hire and temp recruitment agencies placing blue-collar and trade roles in high-turnover environments.

Resume templating at scale without the manual grind

High-volume recruitment means dealing with CVs that are inconsistent, poorly formatted, and hard to present to clients, especially in blue-collar and temp markets.

Brindle’s goal isn’t “make a prettier CV”. It’s to reliably turn messy, unstructured candidate info into a consistent, client-facing profile that matches your layout and branding, fast.

SETUP

What you set up once

  • Your profile template (the exact document your team sends to clients)
  • Your structure (sections, ordering, headings, branding rules)
  • Your “must-have” fields (e.g., tickets, licences, site experience, tools, travel)

Setup is simple

  • Share your resume template
  • Brindle encodes it into your house style
  • Your team starts converting CVs
PER CANDIDATE

What happens per candidate

  • Upload a candidate CV (common formats like PDF or Word)
  • Brindle extracts and normalises the information into consistent fields
  • Content is mapped into your template layout
  • You review and edit before sending to the client (fully editable output)

How it works (more detail)

1) Template encoding (your “house style” becomes the rulebook)

Your template is encoded as a structured layout, sections, ordering, headings, and formatting rules, so every profile matches how your agency presents candidates.

2) Extraction + clean-up (turn “messy CVs” into usable fields)

Brindle pulls usable facts out of inconsistent CVs and organises them into a consistent structure clients can scan quickly.

3) Draft profile generation (fast turnaround, then human review)

A client-ready draft is generated quickly, then reviewed and adjusted by your recruiter before it leaves the business.

4) Editability + ownership (you stay in control)

Recruiters can tweak summaries, edge cases, and wording, reducing admin without removing recruiter judgement.

5) Data handling (clean, operational, low risk)

Profiles are generated and stored in a clean, operational workflow designed to reduce unnecessary data handling.

Outcome

  • Faster candidate turnaround
  • Consistent, branded profiles
  • Less admin per candidate
  • Recruiters focused on placements, not formatting

Reference checks that actually get completed

Brindle automates reference checking end-to-end, reducing recruiter admin, improving insight, and supporting compliance without slowing the process down.

YOU CONTROL

What you control

  • Templates, your questions, scoring, structure
  • When you run checks, early, parallel, or final gate
  • What “good” looks like, comparable answers
AUTOMATED

What Brindle automates

  • Structured requests and tracking
  • Consent handling for candidates and referees
  • Automated reminders and follow-ups
  • Standardised response capture and review

How it works (more detail)

1) Create reference templates (standardise what you ask)

Recruiters create role or client-specific templates so every reference asks consistent questions and produces comparable signals.

2) Add candidate and referee details (consent-first workflow)

Recruiters enter candidate and referee contact details. Candidates provide consent before any reference request is sent, keeping the process compliant and transparent.

3) Collect references via conversational AI (better completion rates)

Referees complete references through a conversational, guided experience rather than a static form, improving clarity and response quality.

4) Track, remind, and intervene when needed

Every stage is tracked. Recruiters can send reminders, update contact details if emails bounce, or capture verbal references inside Brindle when required.

5) Review and generate final reports (ready to share or store)

Responses are finalised into a structured referee report that can be reviewed, downloaded, and reused, ensuring consistency and preserving valuable reference data over time.

Result

  • Higher reference completion rates
  • Clearer, more comparable insights
  • Lower admin per placement
  • Consistent questioning and brand experience
