How Recruitment usage is detected

Methodology

Company data

Detected companies are joined to UK Companies House records and XBRL accounts data. Revenue and headcount figures come from the most recent filed accounts; where the company has not filed, values are estimated using a model trained on filed history and peer benchmarks and are labelled as estimates.

Detection

Firmbase crawls the public website of actively-trading UK companies and fingerprints the technologies present: tracking scripts, embedded forms, chat widgets, CMS markers and similar signatures. A company is included in this list when one or more of the technology's signatures are found on its site; closely-related variants of the same product are grouped under one name. Detection covers what is visible on the public web — a company using the technology purely internally, with no website footprint, will not appear. Counts are therefore a conservative floor, not a ceiling.

Freshness

Websites are re-crawled on a rolling basis and the underlying company data is refreshed from Companies House continuously; filings appear within days of submission. The list and its statistics are regenerated when the detected cohort moves meaningfully. You can see the last-updated timestamp near the top of the page.

What is a Recruitment?
A Recruitment system is software used by UK companies to publish roles, collect applications and manage hiring stages. For companies with detectable usage, it usually acts as the workflow layer between a vacancy going live and a hiring decision being made.
How is Recruitment usage detected?
Firmbase crawls the public website of every actively-trading company in this scope and fingerprints the technologies present — scripts, widgets, booking and checkout flows. A company is attributed to a system when that system's signatures are found; systems with no public web footprint are not attributable, which is why every share figure on this page means share of companies with a detectable system.
Which has more UK companies, WP Job Openings or Workable?
WP Job Openings: 505 detected companies versus 416 for Workable, of the 2,665 UK companies with a detectable Recruitment.
What is the best Recruitment for UK companies?
This page publishes usage data rather than recommendations, so there is no single best Recruitment system implied. WP Job Openings has the largest detected share overall at 18.9% (505), and it also leads Under 10 employees at 18.8% of 1,456 companies and 10–50 employees at 19.1% of 890 companies; Teamtailor leads Over 50 employees at 19.4% of 319 companies.
