HR software for recruitment agencies
You industrialise other companies' hiring - your own people deserve the same machinery. CoDash covers onboarding, probation, absence and growth for the team behind the desks.
CoDash is the HR system for a recruitment agency's own staff - not another CRM or ATS for placements. It runs the people side of the business: high-velocity onboarding and offboarding, probation tracking tuned for early attrition, absence scoring, performance machinery for a target-driven floor, and your own vacancies through a real pipeline. Commission calculation stays with payroll - deliberately - and we say so rather than half-building it.
Onboarding at recruiter speed
Invite someone with a start date and their onboarding checklist anchors to it automatically - kit, contracts to e-sign, policies to acknowledge, first-week tasks with owners. When intakes come in twos and threes every month, the difference between a checklist and a memory is a resignation in week two.
Probation that catches problems early
Recruitment has brutal early attrition. The probation register tracks every review date with reminders before they slip, 1:1s keep a written trail, and if it doesn't work out, offboarding - including leaver anonymisation for GDPR - is a checklist, not an afternoon.
Absence you can see coming
Bradford Factor scoring, Monday/Friday pattern detection and return-to-work interviews - the classic signals of a floor under pressure, surfaced as coaching prompts rather than ammunition.
A performance culture without spreadsheets
Goals that cascade, 1:1s with carry-over actions, review cycles with structured templates - the quarterly conversation machinery for a business that lives on targets, minus the ranking-and-shaming.
Your own hiring, in a real pipeline
Openings with hiring managers, candidate threads, working CVs and a public apply page where candidates never create an account - you of all people know how much that last part matters.
The commission question, answered straight
CoDash does not calculate commission - schemes vary too much to half-build, and getting pay wrong is worse than not touching it. It lives with your payroll. What CoDash holds is everything around it: salary history, pay bands, comp records per person, and the payroll-ready exports that carry the rest.

Common questions
Does CoDash calculate recruiter commission?
No - commission schemes vary too much to half-build, and it belongs with payroll. CoDash holds salary history, pay bands and compensation records, and exports payroll-ready files.
Does it manage our placed contractors or AWR compliance?
No. CoDash is for your internal staff - the recruiters, resourcers and ops team. Placed workers, umbrella arrangements and AWR live in your recruitment CRM and payroll stack.
We hold a lot of personal data. How does CoDash help with GDPR?
For your own staff: retention auto-purge, anonymise-on-exit, one-click subject access exports, a full audit trail, and a who-accessed-my-record panel for every employee. Data is hosted in Europe - the architecture.
How quickly can a new consultant be set up?
Minutes. The invite carries their start date and first-day time, fires the onboarding checklist, and their welcome email anchors everything to day one.
