Placements & Profits.

Placing someone inside a household or family office is a trust decision, not just a skills match. HireFace gives your principal a 5-minute structured video interview that's real evidence, not a polished resume, so they decide fast and decide right.

Why decisions stall

A CV Can Tell You Who.
It Can't Tell You Who to Trust.

Every CV says "discreet," "trustworthy," "exceptional attention to detail." When a principal reads three CVs that all say the same thing, they hesitate — and while they hesitate, your candidate takes an offer from another household.

⚠️ Same skills. Same phrases. No way to choose. The principal puts it aside until tomorrow. By then, your candidate is gone.

Why private service is different

Trust Decides This Placement — Not Just Skills.

A bad hire in a household or family office isn't a performance review problem. It's a reputation and a relationship, gone. HireFace is built around that one fact.

Discretion & Reputation

Every submission is hidden from your principal until you've vetted it — they only ever see what you've already cleared, never your raw inbox.

Verified Claims, Not Just a Polished CV

"Conversant in French" or "fluent in Arabic" is a line on paper — hearing them actually converse in it on video builds trust instantly and fast-tracks the hiring decision.

High-Stakes Fees, Low Margin for Error

A private-service placement fee dwarfs a generic role's — which means a wrong hire, or a lost candidate to a slow decision, costs more too.

Your biggest profit leak isn't candidate sourcing
Decision Delay.
Monday — Candidate submitted.
Tuesday — Hiring manager is busy.
Wednesday — Still waiting for feedback.
Thursday — Candidate accepts another offer.
Friday — Recruiter starts sourcing again.

The recruiter did the hard part. The candidate was found. The client was interested. The placement was possible. The delay killed it.

The metric that fast-tracks your placements

Measure Hiring Decision Velocity™

How quickly does a candidate move from CV submission to hiring decision? Most recruitment software measures Candidates → Interviews → Offers → Placements. HireFace adds one critical metric: Decision Velocity.

What gets measured gets improved. Most recruitment software tracks where candidates are. HireFace tracks how fast decisions happen.

The other half of the platform

See What's Slowing Your Placements — and Your Profits

Hiring Decision Velocity is one number. HireFace tracks three — Speed, Quality and Volume — so you know exactly which one is actually costing you placements, not just that something's slow.

⚡

Speed

How long it takes a candidate to start, finish, and your hiring manager to decide — Hiring Decision Velocity and every stage that feeds it, end to end.

✓

Quality

Drop-off, retakes and how often your HM actually shortlists what you send — the gates that tell you when a question or a submission is wasting a candidate's shot.

▤

Volume

How much is actually moving through your pipeline, stage by stage — so you can see a throughput problem before it shows up as a missed placement.

Every stage you can see is a stage you can fix. Fixed stages mean faster placements — and faster placements mean more fees collected, sooner.

What's Slow Decisions Costing Your Placements and Profits?

Enter your numbers — see what decision delay is really costing your agency each year.

Est. Annual Revenue Lost
£0
because hiring decisions take too long
Potential Additional Placements
+0
per year, if you closed that gap
Reduce your average decision time by just 2 days and you could win back roughly £0 a year — that's £0 per recruiter.
How we calculate this

Lost placements/year = Placements/Month × Drop-off% × 12. Estimated Annual Revenue Lost = Lost placements/year × Average Placement Fee. Drop-off% is the share of placements you estimate you're currently losing to decision delay — closing that gap is what "Potential Additional Placements" and "Potential Revenue Won" represent. This is a planning estimate, not an audited figure.

Six steps. Done in minutes.

Fast-Track From Candidate Submission to Hiring Decision.

No new workflows. No software training. Just a link your candidate records on their phone.

1

Invite Candidate

Drop 2–3 role-specific questions into your dashboard and send the candidate a structured interview link. Takes 60 seconds.

2

Candidate Responds

They record a 5-minute video response on their own phone, at a time that suits them. You only pay when they submit.

3

Recruiter Reviews

Watch the response, check for fit, and decide whether to send the candidate forward — before you commit any client time to it.

4

Client Watches

Share one simple interview link with the hiring manager. No attachments, no account, no email threads.

5

Client Decides

No scheduling ping-pong. The hiring manager reviews the evidence and responds directly, on their own time.

Questions recruiters actually ask

Everything you need to know.

How much is a slow hiring decision costing my agency?
It depends on your placement fee, monthly volume, and current decision delay — use the calculator above to see your own number. Most agencies we've measured are losing a meaningful share of placements to decision delay alone.
Can clients watch interviews without creating an account?
Yes. Hiring managers get a single link and can watch immediately — no account, no login, no app download.
How quickly can candidates complete an interview?
Most candidates finish a structured video interview in under 5 minutes, recorded on their own phone at a time that suits them.
Can HireFace replace first-round phone screening?
For most roles, yes — the structured interview covers what a first-round call would (communication, motivation, fit) without the scheduling back-and-forth. Complex or highly technical roles may still warrant a live round.
Can multiple hiring managers review the same candidate?
Yes. The same interview link can be shared with every stakeholder in the approval chain, so no one has to wait for a forwarded email or a second copy of the video.
How does HireFace reduce candidate drop-off?
By collapsing the wait between submission and decision — candidates who'd otherwise sit for days waiting on feedback get an answer while they're still available, before a competing offer takes them.
How does HireFace fit into our existing recruitment workflow?
It slots in after shortlisting and before placement — send the structured interview alongside your CV submission, and share the same link you'd normally forward to a client. No new software to learn, no ATS migration.
Is "Hiring Decision Velocity" the time to hire, or something else?
It's the time from candidate video submission to the hiring manager's first shortlist/pass decision on that candidate — not the full time-to-hire. We measure it this way because a candidate is lost the moment a competing offer arrives, not the moment a role is finally filled — so the number that matters is how fast the client responds, not how many rounds happen after. For single-round roles, the two are effectively the same number.
Is this discreet enough for placing household and family-office staff?
Yes — every submission is hidden from the principal by default. You review it first and decide whether to send it forward, so the family never sees your raw inbox, only what you've already vetted.
Does this work for low-volume, high-value roles, not just high-volume desks?
Yes. There's no monthly fee or minimum — you pay per completed interview, which fits a desk placing a handful of high-fee roles a month just as well as one running dozens.

Don't Lose a Placement
to a Slow Decision.

HireFace helps private staffing agencies get principal-ready interview evidence in front of the family or office in minutes — so candidates move from submission to hiring decision before they move to your competitor.
