Marple Marple

Where we're going.

Marple is a recruitment platform for agencies and in-house teams who are tired of choosing between a database that does nothing and an enterprise suite that does everything badly.

Your recruiters stay in charge.

Every piece of AI in the product suggests — a summary, a match, a draft, a next step. A person accepts, edits or rejects it. Nothing is written to your data, sent to a candidate, or moved through your pipeline without someone deciding it should be.

Your data stays in Europe.

Candidate information is some of the most sensitive personal data an organisation handles. Our AI runs in EU regions, and personal identifiers are stripped before any model sees a profile — the AI assesses what someone can do, never who they are.

We show our work.

Match results cite the requirement they answer. Sourced profiles carry the page they came from. A recruiter can always ask "why is this here?" and get an answer they can check.

Everything in this section is live and demonstrable.

Recruitment core

  • Candidates, companies, contacts, job posts and tasks, with full history
  • Drag-and-drop pipeline board per role, with stages you name and reorder yourself
  • Placements, from "mark as placed" through to a searchable record
  • Polymorphic tasks and rich-text notes on any record
  • Month-grid calendar of interviews and tasks
  • Bulk actions across every list — status moves, task creation, email

Search

  • Full-text search across every record, powered by Elasticsearch
  • Semantic candidate search — describe who you want in plain language ("senior React developer with fintech experience") and get ranked results by meaning, not keyword overlap
  • Saved searches with alerts — save a search once, get a batched digest when new candidates match

AI assistance

  • Resume parsing — drop a PDF on the new-candidate form and it fills itself in, for you to check
  • Candidate summaries — a recruiter-facing profile digest: headline, strengths, areas to explore
  • Skill extraction — canonical, normalised skill tags suggested from the whole profile
  • Candidate scoring — score an applicant against the role's stated requirements, with the matched and unverified requirements listed out
  • Job description writing — describe the role in a sentence, get a structured, editable draft
  • Requirement extraction — paste a client's advert, get structured must-haves and nice-to-haves
  • Suggested candidates — the best people already in your database, ranked against a new role
  • Next-action suggestions — when a candidate moves stage, the task that logically comes next
  • Email drafting — interview invites, rejections, offers and outreach, pre-filled and editable
  • Interview questions — tailored, grouped by category, with what a strong answer covers, saved as an editable note

Sourcing beyond your database

Early access
  • Find people who aren't in your system yet — research the open web for candidates matching a role, returned as prospects you accept into your pipeline
  • Every claim carries the page it came from, so you can check it
  • Criterion-by-criterion verdicts with cited evidence — no single opaque "fit score"
  • Cross-border catchment — a radius around a place, not a country list, so a candidate 30 km over a border is correctly nearer than one 60 km inside it

Email

  • Connect your own mailbox — send from your own address, receive replies threaded onto the candidate
  • Two-way sync, with inbound mail matched to the right candidate or contact automatically

Team & administration

  • Custom roles with a per-permission matrix, org-scoped
  • Team invitations with seat management
  • Per-organisation pipeline stages, statuses and colours
  • Two-factor authentication, email verification, passkey-ready
  • Real-time in-app notifications
  • Reporting on pipeline health — where roles stall, how long each stage takes, conversion between stages

Landing next

In progress

A more polished dark mode.

A consistent visual hierarchy across every surface, so panels, cards and form fields read the same everywhere, in both themes.

Better-structured AI output.

Generated interview questions and notes keep their headings, lists and emphasis — and you get heading controls in the editor to restructure them yourself.

Sharper job requirements.

Both ways of creating a role — writing from a brief, or pasting an existing advert — now return the same complete result, and requirements stay concrete and verifiable rather than generic. This makes every downstream ranking better at once.

Shareable links to any tab.

Send a colleague a link to a candidate's notes or a company's activity and they land exactly there.

Complete audit attribution.

Every record shows who created and last changed it, automatically.

Committed, in build order

Next up

  1. 01

    Your own careers site.

    A public jobs page for your organisation, with filters candidates actually use — location, work mode, contract type. Every role gets its own shareable page you can send to a client, drop in a message, or post anywhere. Built to be found: correctly structured so Google for Jobs and the major aggregators index your roles automatically, with no extra work and no per-board fees.

  2. 02

    Apply directly from a job page.

    Candidates apply from the public page, resume and all — and the application lands in your pipeline already structured, because the resume is read on arrival.

  3. 03

    Publish to LinkedIn.

    Connect your LinkedIn account, and publishing a role offers you a ready-drafted post to edit and share to your network. Your job feed also plugs into LinkedIn job wrapping for customers who already run LinkedIn Recruiter.

  4. 04

    Follow any record.

    Subscribe to a role, a candidate or a company and get told when something happens on it — not only when you were the one who acted. Digested, not per-event.

  5. 05

    Notification preferences.

    Choose what you're told about, and on which channel.

  6. 06

    Modern mailbox sign-in.

    Connect Microsoft 365 and Gmail with a secure one-click sign-in instead of a stored password — which also opens the door to calendar sync.

  7. 07

    Placement outcomes.

    Placements get a real lifecycle — offered, declined, started, fell through, left early — with reasons. Which unlocks honest reporting on what actually works.

  8. 08

    Organisation switching.

    One click between the organisations you belong to.

  9. 09

    Administration console.

    Manage tenants, plans and feature availability from the product.

  10. 10

    Notes everywhere.

    Rich-text notes on contacts, job posts and applications, alongside candidates and companies.

Planned, not yet scheduled

On the roadmap

Sourcing beyond your database

  • Paste-import a profile you already found, straight into a prospect
  • Contact prospects from the platform, with the transparency notice a first contact requires
  • Precise catchment mapping for sourced profiles

Careers site & distribution

  • Custom application questions — add your own fields to any role's application form: free text, multiple choice, yes/no, file upload
  • Candidate-facing status updates so applicants aren't left in silence
  • Publish to your company's LinkedIn Page, alongside publishing from a recruiter's own account
  • Regional job boards — one feed, mapped to the boards that matter in your market
  • Multi-board posting through an aggregator, for teams whose board list is long and specific

Reporting

  • Placement reporting — time-to-fill, source effectiveness, and revenue against a defined fee model
  • Historical insight — what your own data says about which offers get accepted, based on facts rather than predictions
  • Per-stage stall thresholds — because three days waiting on a CV review is not three days waiting on client feedback
  • AI usage and cost reporting per organisation

More AI

  • Matching roles for a candidate — the reverse of suggested candidates
  • A shared skill vocabulary across your whole organisation, so tags are canonical by construction
  • Reply drafting on an inbound email, with the thread as context
  • Scanned-resume support for image-only PDFs
  • Refine-and-regenerate on drafted job descriptions — "make it more senior", "shorten this"
  • Client-name masking for agency job descriptions
  • Semantic search across companies, contacts and roles, not just candidates

Email, calendar & collaboration

  • Attachments, on send and receive
  • Calendar sync — interviews land on your Microsoft 365 or Google calendar, candidate invited, video link attached
  • Email templates you can manage, and save a good AI draft into
  • Slack and Microsoft Teams notifications
  • More events worth being notified about

Platform

  • Webhooks — get an event pushed to your own systems when an application arrives or a placement is made
  • API access with scoped tokens, for pushing roles from your own site and pulling data into your reporting
  • Zapier and Make connectors
  • E-signature for placement contracts
  • Plan-based feature availability
  • Accessibility review across custom components

Decisions, not omissions

What we've deliberately decided not to build

We think a roadmap is more useful when it says what is not coming, and why.

We won't predict whether a placement will succeed.

A model can return a confident-looking percentage about a person's future, and recruiters would reasonably read it as a measurement. It isn't one — there's no reliable data to learn from, and it's precisely the kind of automated profiling that employment law is right to be careful about. We'd rather show you what your own history actually says.

We won't filter candidates by nationality.

It's discrimination, plainly. When an employer says they can't consider other nationalities, what they usually mean is that they won't fund relocation — which is a property of the role's budget, and we model it as exactly that.

We won't build a shared candidate pool across customers.

Your sourced pipeline is your asset, and pooling people across organisations would make us a data broker instead of a recruitment platform. Every profile you source belongs to your organisation alone.

We won't put a photograph on a sourcing result.

The card where you decide whether someone is worth considering is the last place appearance belongs.

We won't let AI act on your pipeline by itself.

No auto-advancing, no auto-rejecting, no emails sent without someone reading them. Every suggestion has a person between it and your data.

We won't post to your social accounts without you.

Publishing a role offers you a drafted post to read, edit and send. A job description gets edited three times in its first hour, and none of those drafts belongs on your feed.

This roadmap describes our current intent and is not a commitment to deliver any particular feature by any particular date. Items shift as we learn what customers actually need. Anything under "Available today" is live now.
