Custom Operational Infrastructure for Australian Recruitment Agencies | ChadScales

RECRUITMENT AGENCIES

Your ATS holds candidates. It doesn't find them again.

Q: What's the maximum number of archived candidates I can delete in bulk in Vincere?

100 records per operation, and there's no 'delete all' option. Clearing out several thousand stale candidate profiles means repeating that 100-record batch manually, over and over, with no way to expand the limit.

If you're running JobAdder, Bullhorn, Vincere, or anything similar, you'll know the pattern: bulk record limits, payroll sync conflicts, and integration duplicates still land on your desk as manual cleanup.

ChadScales builds custom infrastructure that sits underneath the ATS you already run, closing the specific gaps that cost an agency real hours every week.

Built around your own patterns

Some of the biggest gaps aren't software bugs, they're patterns nobody's watching. We build systems that learn from how your own candidates and clients actually behave, then act on it automatically.

Candidate resurfacing

A system that learns which placed or engaged candidates tend to be open to a new role, and resurfaces them automatically the moment a matching job comes in.

Cooling-candidate alerts

A system that learns the typical interview-to-decision timeline for each client, and flags a candidate before they've gone quiet too long.

What your ATS handles vs what's still manual

This is the pattern we see across most recruitment ATS platforms, JobAdder, Bullhorn, and Vincere included.

What the ATS handles

Candidate and job pipeline tracking through every stage

Payroll and leave syncing once a placement's approved

What's still manual

Cleaning up old records in capped batches instead of all at once

Untangling sync conflicts and duplicate data between systems

On Vincere, that's a hard 100-record cap on bulk-deleting archived candidates, with no "delete all" option. On JobAdder paired with Astute Payroll, unmatched historical placements turn into permanent duplicate records the moment an integration goes live. And on Employment Hero, a leave request entered in payroll before it's approved triggers a sync conflict rather than resolving on its own. Different platform, same kind of gap.

What we could build

Database cleanup

Bulk maintenance that runs in the background, no more babysitting 100 records at a time.

Sync reliability

Payroll and ATS data that actually stays in step, so a leave request entered twice doesn't turn into a ticket.

Duplicate prevention

Detection that catches the problem before integration day, not six months after.

Reporting at scale

Exports that don't choke when your pay run gets big. Built for scale from day one.

What the audit delivers

System topology map

Exactly how your current tools connect, and where they don't.

Leakage figure

A real annual dollar figure for what the manual gaps are costing.

Build blueprint

What we'd actually build to close the gap, specific to your setup.

Fixed-scope proposal

One price, agreed before anything gets built.

Who we work best with

Agencies with 3 or more consultants

Where manual CV formatting and database re-sourcing eat real hours most days.

Whatever software you're running

Whether that's JobAdder, Bullhorn, Vincere, or something else entirely, we build around what you've already got, not a replacement for it.

A real operational bottleneck, not just curiosity

The audit exists to find a specific, costed problem worth fixing.

Questions we get

How do I know if my recruitment agency needs better operational systems?

If your consultants are manually formatting CVs, re-sourcing candidates already sitting in the database, or chasing the same data across two or three systems, that's the kind of drag worth fixing. The audit exists to find that gap and put a real number on it.

Do I need to switch ATS platforms to fix manual admin work in my agency?

No. Custom systems get built around the ATS you already run, not as a replacement for it. Switching platforms doesn't fix a process gap, it just moves it somewhere new.

How much does it cost to fix database and payroll sync issues for a recruitment agency?

It depends entirely on what's actually costing you money, not a generic industry quote. That's exactly what the Operational Mapping Audit is built to find before anything gets priced.

Is there a limit on how many timesheets I can export at once from Astute Payroll?

Yes. A single export is capped at 1,000 timesheets, and the underlying report can display up to 10,000 items before you need to narrow your filters. For larger pay runs, you'll need to split the export into batches rather than pull everything at once.

What's the maximum number of archived candidates I can delete in bulk in Vincere?

100 records per operation, and there's no "delete all" option. Clearing out several thousand stale candidate profiles means repeating that 100-record batch manually, over and over, with no way to expand the limit.

Why does Employment Hero show a leave request sync conflict?

This happens when a leave request for the same dates gets entered in the payroll platform before it's approved in Employment Hero. Leave only ever syncs one direction, from Employment Hero to payroll, never back, so the system flags the clash rather than risk creating a duplicate.

Why do I get duplicate employee records when connecting JobAdder to Astute Payroll?

If existing placements aren't manually matched to their Astute records before the integration goes live, the system creates a fresh duplicate for each one the first time it syncs. Once created, those duplicates can't be removed.
