The UK's fastest route from applicant to hire. Hirefast is the only platform built specifically for UK entry-level volume hiring — giving employers pre-filtered, ranked candidates and giving candidates the fast, honest experience they deserve.
Lengthy, complex application forms drive candidates away before they finish. Most give up within minutes of starting.
60% quit mid-applicationEntry-level candidates are on the market for just 10 days. A 25-day hiring process loses them before the first call.
25 day avg. time-to-hireNearly half of UK employers never reply to candidates. Those candidates talk. Your reputation suffers silently.
44% of employers go silentHundreds of unqualified CVs pile up with no smart filtering. Recruiters waste entire days on people who were never right for the role.
Hours lost per hireThe majority of entry-level applicants apply on their phones. Most platforms deliver a broken, frustrating mobile experience.
72% of Gen Z apply on mobileCandidates research employers before applying. A thin or negative online presence means fewer — and lower quality — applications.
Brand matters at every levelThis is the question every employer asks. Here's the straight answer.
Indeed and Reed charge you to post and leave you to wrestle with hundreds of CVs. No filtering, no candidate comms, no branding. Hirefast pre-qualifies every applicant before they reach your pipeline — so you only see people worth speaking to.
Entry-level candidates either don't have LinkedIn profiles or have sparse ones. LinkedIn is expensive, slow, and wrong for volume blue-collar and retail work. Hirefast is designed specifically for the people who keep UK businesses running.
Hireez helps recruiters find people. It doesn't fix the application drop-off problem, the ghosting problem, or the employer brand problem. Hirefast solves the whole pipeline — from first impression to offer accepted.
Workable, Greenhouse, Lever — they're great for hiring software engineers. They're overkill, expensive, and the wrong fit for hiring 50 warehouse operatives in Northampton by Friday. Hirefast is purpose-built for volume entry-level — not retrofitted.
Every platform claims AI now. Our advantage is that we only serve one market — UK volume entry-level hiring — and we've obsessed over every detail of it. The 90-second application, the knockout questions, the automated candidate comms. These aren't features bolted on. They're the entire product, built for this one job.
Create a rich, honest company page with culture, benefits, team photos and real employee reviews. Candidates research you before applying — give them a reason to choose you.
Add the criteria that matter — right to work, driving licence, shift availability. Candidates who don't qualify are automatically filtered before you ever see them.
Applications are scored and ranked automatically. Your dashboard shows you your best candidates within hours — not days — with zero sifting required.
Every candidate gets instant confirmation, stage updates, and an outcome. You build the template once. Hirefast sends it the moment a stage changes — no ghosting, ever.
Fill in your details one time. Your profile auto-fills every application so you never re-type your address, work history, or right-to-work documents again.
Location-first search with clear pay rates, real shift times, and honest employer profiles. No vague listings, no hidden details — just the information you need to decide.
No 40-page forms. A handful of role-specific questions and you're done. Most applications take less than a minute and a half — start to finish.
Instant confirmation. Real-time status updates. Outcome notifications for every application. Whether you get the role or not, you will always hear back. Always.
Pre-filled from candidate profiles. Role-specific questions only. No CV upload needed for entry-level. Designed to convert applicants, not drive them away.
Define the criteria that matter for each role — right to work, driving licence, shift availability, location radius. Candidates who don't qualify never reach your inbox.
Set up your message templates once. Every candidate — at every stage — gets the right message the moment their status changes. Application received. Shortlisted. Interviewed. Rejected. Offered.
Your tone. Your brand. Hirefast just presses send — across email and SMS — automatically. No candidate is ever left in the dark.
Rich company pages with culture content, team photos, benefits, pay transparency, and staff testimonials. Give candidates a genuine reason to pick you over the listing next door.
Ranked applicants, stage tracking, time-to-hire metrics and drop-off analytics — all in one clear view. Know exactly where every candidate is, at a glance, at any time.
"We were losing candidates between application and phone screen — they'd just disappear. Hirefast's automated comms cut our drop-off by more than half in the first month."
"I've applied for loads of jobs and normally you hear nothing for weeks. Hirefast texted me straight away and told me exactly what to expect. Felt like a proper company."
"The knockout questions alone saved my team 12 hours a week in sifting. We used to wade through 300 CVs to find 10 worth calling. Now we see 30 pre-qualified applicants and move fast."
