Recruiters and small staffing agencies

Each client role has a page on your job board, and candidates move through your stages. Screening calls are booked when you are free, and placement fees are invoiced.

An independent recruiter works in Personal. A small agency works in one Magpie team.

Meetings

Each client role has a page, and candidates move through your stages.

Hiring publishes each role on your job board, with its own application form. You set the stages for each role, such as screening call and shortlist sent.

Scorecards record each interviewer's view before they see the others'. Interview scheduling finds a time when every interviewer is free.

Candidates in Hiring

Scheduling a second call for the senior backend engineer role with a candidate: the interviewers, the start times when they are all free, and a video link.

Clients and candidates each have a record, with the next follow-up.

Contacts keeps each client and candidate with tags and notes on every conversation. A follow-up is a To-do with a date, such as a check-in after a start.

A client's invoices and signed terms show on their page.

History and follow-ups in Contacts

Candidates book a screening call in your hours.

Meetings gives you a page with your meeting types, such as a 20-minute screening call. Times busy in your Google Calendar are left out.

A booked call can carry a Zoom or Google Meet link. Reminders go out before it.

Meeting page in Meetings

Every search is a card, from the brief to the placement.

Kanban Boards holds each client search as a card, in columns such as Searching and Placed. Each card has a due date and To-dos.

Comments stay on the card, so your colleagues see where each search stands.

Boards and cards in Kanban Boards

Northstar Talent’s searches board: a client role just briefed, searches in progress with due dates and To-dos, and a shortlist with the client.

Your terms of business are signed online before the search starts.

E-Signatures sends your terms of business PDF, with fields placed for each signer. A starter keeps the document, so the next client needs only a name and an email.

Everyone gets the signed PDF and a certificate of completion.

Sending a request in E-Signatures

Each placement fee is invoiced when the candidate starts.

Invoicing bills the fee with its tax and payment terms. Clients pay by card from the email, or by bank transfer you record.

Card payments go into your own Stripe account, with no Magpie fee.

Create invoices in Invoicing

Northstar Talent’s placement fee invoice to Fieldwork Studio in the editor: the fee for placing a product designer, with the issue and due dates.

Three more areas cover client briefs, your mailbox and interviews by video.

Documents
Documents holds role briefs and candidate write-ups, with the client's comments.
Mail
Mail gives your domain mailboxes such as jobs@.
Video Chat
Video Chat hosts a scheduled interview, with a link the candidate joins from.

Yes. Each role has its own page and application form on your job board. The page can describe the client without naming them.

Can I schedule a video interview?

Yes. Interview scheduling finds a time when every interviewer is free. It can add a Magpie Video Chat link. The candidate joins from the link.

Can clients sign my terms online?
