A little about us..
At RoleFlow, we understand the unique challenges SMEs face when hiring. You’re often forced to choose between expensive recruitment agencies that don’t give you ownership of the full range of candidates they find, or handling hiring in-house, which can overload your team with additional tasks like candidate sourcing, screening, scheduling, and interviewing—often without the necessary expertise or resources.That’s where we come in.Our unique approach empowers SMEs to build high-performing, self-sufficient hiring processes that combine the expertise of recruitment agencies with the insight and control of an internal team. Using our proprietary methodology rooted in value stream mapping, flow engineering, automation, and enhanced employer branding, we help you turn hiring into a strategic advantage.We don't just focus on the mechanics of hiring; we also build a compelling employer brand that strengthens candidate engagement, ensuring you stand out in a competitive talent market. By enhancing your employer brand, we help you attract top talent and keep them engaged throughout the hiring journey.We identify inefficiencies, automate repetitive tasks, and build sustainable talent pipelines—ensuring you hire smarter, faster, and more efficiently. Together, we work side by side to build a scalable hiring system, typically resulting in significant cost savings (up to 40%) and reduced time-to-hire (by 25%).
Where did RoleFlow come from?The idea for RoleFlow emerged from years of business process mapping, where I saw how value stream management could transform HR, particularly hiring. The same bottlenecks in larger organisations exist in SMEs, but smaller companies have the agility to turn these challenges into competitive advantages.My experiences with Lean Six Sigma, Flow Mapping, and Employer Branding, the latter at a large scale at Citrix, showed how SMEs could leverage these methodologies for faster, smarter hiring. RoleFlow was created to help SMEs become more self-sufficient, reducing reliance on external recruiters and releasing the strain on internal resources. We believe long-term hiring efficiency is also underpinned by an engaging employer brand, so bringing this all together is what we set out to deliver.
FAQs & Why Use RoleFlow1. How is RoleFlow different from using a recruitment agency?
Agencies sell you candidates - you pay fees repeatedly but never own the candidate pipeline. RoleFlow builds your internal hiring capability. You own the system, the talent communities and the improvements. One-time investment vs. recurring 15-20% fees.2. What results can we realistically expect?
Our clients typically achieve 40% reduction in total hiring costs, 25% faster time to hire, and significantly improved candidate quality. Results vary based on your starting point, but every engagement includes measurable outcomes tracking.3. We don't have HR expertise or dedicated recruiters - can this still work?
Absolutely. Most of our clients don't have dedicated TA teams. We build systems that work with your existing capacity, whether that's an HR manager wearing multiple hats or an operations director handling hiring alongside other responsibilities.4. Our problem is getting too many irrelevant candidates OR not enough candidates at all - can you help with both?
Yes. These opposite symptoms often stem from the same root cause: poor sourcing strategy and unclear employer positioning. We diagnose which problem you have and build the specific solution - better filtering and qualification for high volume, improved outreach and branding for low volume.5. How long does an engagement take?
Full HIKE Method implementations typically run 3-6 months, depending on your complexity and goals. We start seeing improvements in the first 4-6 weeks. For organisations wanting to start smaller, we offer diagnostic assessments (1-2 weeks) that identify your biggest opportunities before committing to full implementation.6. Do we need to invest in expensive recruitment software?
No. We work with your existing tools and recommend affordable, often free solutions where automation helps. We're focused on process optimisation first, technology second and only where it genuinely adds value.7. What does this cost, and how does it compare to our agency and internal hiring spend?
Engagement pricing depends on scope and complexity, typically structured as fixed-price projects. Most clients find that the investment pays for itself in 6-12 months either through reduced agency spend or time savings and quality improvements. Book a consultation for specific pricing based on your situation.8. Do we need to understand Lean methodology or value stream mapping to work with you?
Not at all. We guide you through the entire process using visual tools that make complex concepts accessible. By the end your team will understand the methodology because you've experienced it - but no prior knowledge is required.9. Will you just give us recommendations, or do you actually implement with us?
We implement alongside your team. This isn't a "report and disappear" engagement. We work collaboratively - mapping together, building and then testing together so that your team develops the capability to sustain and improve the system after we've gone.10. What if we're growing fast and hiring urgently - is there time for this?
Fast growth makes systematic hiring even more critical. We can work in parallel with your urgent hiring needs, implementing quick wins (better job descriptions, improved sourcing channels) while building the longer-term system. Clients often come to us precisely because rapid growth exposed how broken their current process is.
