Finding good candidates isn’t easy, and it definitely isn’t getting any cheaper. Between rising job board costs and low application rates, it’s never been more important to make every penny work harder.
That’s why we’re buzzing to share this one.
Giig Hire has now fully integrated with Candidate Source: This means UK-based recruiters using Giig can now tap into powerful job board discounts, attract more qualified candidates, and have applicants flow straight into your Giig account: no copy-pasting, no faff.
Let’s break it down.
Candidate Source is an award-winning UK recruitment advertising agency, helping recruiters attract better applicants through smarter job board advertising.
They don’t just chuck your ad on a few boards and hope for the best. Instead, they:
In other words, they’re the candidate source partner that sits in the middle of messy recruitment advertising and simplifies the lot.
They’ve been doing this for 15+ years, are also TEAM network members, and help hundreds of agencies across the UK get more bang for their advertising buck.
We’re all about making recruitment make sense, so it only made sense to bring Candidate Source into the fold.
This integration is designed specifically for UK-based Giig users who want to:
1. Sign up to Giig Hire and upgrade to the plus package
Once you are signed up and upgraded, you will be able to head to the External Job Boards section, where you will need to click either the enable or configure buttons on the Candidate Source options. Once you click one, Candidate Source will reach out to have a chat and get you set up. No need for long contracts or negotiation.
2. Post job ads so candidates start applying
Once set up, create a job in Giig and on that job, head to the advertise tab. Select Candidate Source and you’re off to the races.
3. Applicants land directly into Giig Hire
That’s right, no spreadsheets, no third-party platforms, no inbox-trawling. Every CV goes right into your Giig account and will appear under new applicants.
4. Track, engage, and place
Use Giig’s full CRM tools and automation features to manage conversations, interviews, feedback and placement workflows.
The beauty of it? You don’t have to jump between tabs or systems to know what’s going on. It’s all right there in Giig.
Here’s what recruiters have told us they love about this integration:
No more uploading CVs manually. Candidates land where you need them: ready to be actioned. It’s a small change that makes a huge difference across a busy week.
Candidate Source users regularly see savings of up to 70% vs standard rates. If you’re using boards like Reed, CV Library or Totaljobs directly, you’re probably paying too much.
The Candidate Source team write ads that convert, and offers filtering support if you need an extra hand. That means fewer irrelevant CVs, and more people you’d actually place.
Your whole recruitment process, from sourcing to placement, runs through Giig. Less chaos, more clarity.
Let’s say you’re a recruiter working 3 live roles. You know you need fresh applicants, but the idea of rewriting job ads, logging into four board dashboards, and figuring out which one gave you what just feels… exhausting.
With Candidate Source, you send them the job details. They write the ad, post it on the right boards (at their discounted rates), and the applicants land straight in your Giig pipeline. Get the alerts. Message the candidates. Schedule interviews.
It just works.
This integration is ideal for:
Getting started is simple:
At Giig, we know the pain of job board chaos and endless admin. So, we’re solving it by partnering with people who do sourcing really, really well.
Candidate Source is exactly that.
They bring the reach, the discounts, and the sourcing muscle. We bring the automation, CRM, and recruiter-friendly tools.
Together, we make it easier than ever for UK recruiters to attract top candidates and actually manage the hiring process without losing their mind.
