Recruiting.
All in one place.

Recruiting today

One candidate. Six places.

Recruitment consultants work across their ATS, inbox, spreadsheets, networks, notes and folders. Each tool knows part of the story – none of them knows all of it.

01

Context gets lost

The last call is in a note, the salary in a spreadsheet, the feedback in the inbox. Anyone who asks has to go looking.

02

Everything is maintained twice

Status in the system, status in the longlist, status in your head. Every change takes time – and is rarely up to date everywhere.

03

No shared picture of the mandate

Who has been presented to the client? Who decides there? Without one place for it, the mandate depends on individuals.

Placely brings everything that belongs to a mandate into one place.

Candidate 360

Every candidate. The full picture.

CV, salary, active processes and every conversation – on one page. Whoever opens the profile knows right away where the person stands and what happens next.

Processes across all mandates

One person, several jobs: each process shows its stage – and can be moved forward directly.

Pipeline & mandates

Every mandate. Stage by stage.

See where every candidate stands in the process – and take the next step with a single move.
app.myplacely.de/pipeline

One board per job

Every mandate has its own view – from identified to placed.

Move on with drag and drop

Drag candidates into the next stage. Every change is added to the timeline automatically.

All jobs at a glance

Open, paused or filled – with the distribution across all stages at a glance.

Companies & contacts

Know who decides at the client.

Every company with its jobs, its candidates and its decision committee. So it is clear who signs off, who reviews the technical side and who has a say.
  • Decision maker
  • Department / hiring manager
  • HR
  • Procurement
  • Technical review
  • Influencer

Communication & activities

What was discussed stays on record.

Every conversation is recorded where it belongs: on the person and on the process. So any colleague can take over seamlessly.
  • Calls, meetings, interviews, notes

    Captured in seconds, with the outcome and a link to the job.

    Available
  • Follow-up as an outcome

    Conversations that need a follow-up are flagged in the history.

    Available
  • Emails in the history

    Messages from Microsoft 365 attached directly to the candidate and contact.

    In development
  • Follow-ups & reminders

    Tasks with due dates, so no contact falls through the cracks.

    Planned
  • Bulk emails & campaigns

    Reach the right candidates in a targeted, personal way – every email sent individually, with an unsubscribe option.

Matching & Intelligence

What comes next.

Placely grows in clear steps. Anything that is not in the product yet is labelled as such – what you see here is the plan, not a promise with an asterisk.

Matching

Planned

Find the right candidates for a job – based on what you already know about people and mandates.

Automations

Planned

Trigger recurring steps such as follow-ups or status changes without starting them by hand every time.

Analytics

Partially available

Today: key figures and stage distribution per job and client. Next: reports across time periods and teams.

Intelligence

Planned

Help with summarising CVs and conversations – with clear control over what happens to your data.

Microsoft 365

In development

Your inbox, connected to your mandates.

Most firms work in Outlook. Placely will connect directly to Microsoft 365, so emails no longer happen alongside recruiting but right in the middle of it.
  1. 1

    Connect your Microsoft account

    Sign in with Microsoft, without storing passwords in Placely.

  2. 2

    Emails land in the right place

    Messages are matched to candidates and contacts and appear in their timeline.

  3. 3

    Write from within Placely

    Send directly from the profile – through your own mailbox, with your signature.

Security & GDPR

Personal data deserves care.

Anyone working with CVs, salaries and call notes carries responsibility. Placely is designed for this from the start – and is open about what applies today and what is still to come.

Available

Separate data spaces

Every organisation works in its own separate space – with its own users and its own data.

Available

Immutable audit log

Relevant actions are recorded in a log that cannot be changed afterwards.

Available

Logged document access

Every access to a CV is recorded. Sensitive documents stay under control.

Available

Roles & permissions

Admins manage the workspace, members do the recruiting. More granular permissions will follow.

Planned

EU hosting & DPA

Operation in European data centres with a data processing agreement.

Planned

Consent & retention periods

Document consent, monitor retention periods and anonymise data on time.

About Placely

Built for the people who place people.

One place instead of many tools

Candidates, mandates, clients and conversations belong together. Placely treats them that way.

For every industry

IT, finance, engineering, healthcare, retail or manufacturing – Placely is built for executive search firms, not for a niche.

Built honestly

We show what is finished and label what is coming. Together with firms that work with it every day.

Your next mandate.
All in one place.

We will show you Placely in a personal conversation – using your workflows, not slides.
