AI recruitment software for Birmingham's makers, builders, movers and advisers.

We provide AI recruitment software development Birmingham employers and agencies use to fill skilled trades, production lines, driving jobs, apprenticeships and professional services roles faster and more fairly. Codeeo builds candidate apps, ticket and licence verification, shift matching and recruiter dashboards for manufacturers and suppliers across the West Midlands, construction contractors, logistics operators and the firms clustered around Colmore Row, with UK GDPR, the Equality Act 2010 and right to work checks handled properly.

Codeeo does not have a Birmingham office. Our 80+ staff are spread across Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi and support West Midlands clients remotely. Discovery, prototype reviews and go live planning are held by video call, with notes and recordings shared afterwards.

Platform modules

Recruitment tools that suit how Birmingham hires.

Much of Birmingham's hiring depends on proof rather than polish. A site operative needs a valid construction skills card, a driver needs the right licence categories, a maintenance engineer needs evidence of the systems they have worked on, and an apprentice needs to show potential rather than experience. At the same time, the city's banking, accountancy and legal firms run graduate and trainee schemes that attract thousands of applicants each year.

The modules below reflect that mix. We usually build the verification and shift tools first for industrial employers, and the screening and assessment tools first for professional firms. Every AI feature is visible to candidates, logged for audit and supervised by a person wherever the result affects someone's application.

Explain your project
  • Ticket and card verification

    Candidates for construction and plant roles upload or enter their skills card and trade tickets, and recruiters confirm them through each scheme's own checking service. The platform records card type, number and expiry, flags tickets that run out during a contract and blocks site allocation until verification is logged.

    No one reaches site with an unchecked or expired card.

  • Driving licence check codes

    For HGV, van and forklift roles, candidates generate a check code through the DVLA's online service and share it in the app. Recruiters record the categories and any endorsements relevant to the role, and the system schedules periodic rechecks for drivers once they are on the payroll.

    Licence status confirmed before the first route.

  • Production shift matching

    Matching for factory and warehouse work that understands continental, rotating and night shift patterns, the site's location and how a candidate gets there. Employers along the Black Country and north Birmingham corridors can offer the pattern that suits each applicant rather than losing them at interview.

    Shift offers that candidates accept and keep.

  • Practical skills evidence

    Engineers, electricians and technicians describe equipment and tasks they have handled through guided questions, upload photos or certificates, and book a short practical test. The AI organises the evidence against the job's requirements so a supervisor can assess it in minutes, not from a vague CV.

    Skilled trades assessed on what they can do.

  • Apprenticeship pipeline

    A separate route for apprentices with simple language, questions about interests rather than history, and space for parents or school advisers to help. Employers can coordinate with their training provider on start dates and keep applicants warm between offer and enrolment. Reminders go to the applicant and, with permission, to a named adult.

    More school leavers finishing the application.

  • Trainee scheme assessment

    For accountancy, banking and law firms around Colmore Row and Brindleyplace, a strengths based application, online tests and video interview scheduling feed a scoring view for assessors. Contextual information, such as first generation university attendance, can be shown alongside results so assessors judge achievement in context.

    Trainee intakes chosen on potential and evidence.

  • Plain language and translated guidance

    Birmingham's workforce includes many people who speak another language at home. Instructions, health and safety pre reading and status updates can be offered in the languages your applicants use most, while any English requirement that the job genuinely needs is assessed openly and fairly. Translations are reviewed by a fluent speaker before they go live.

    Fewer good candidates lost to a confusing form.

  • Right to work at onboarding

    The full set of Home Office routes in one flow: share code checks online, identity service provider checks for British and Irish passports, and manual checks for everyone else. Evidence, dates and the name of the checker are stored with the hire, and follow up checks are diarised automatically.

    Clean records ready for a Home Office visit.

  • Agency supply management

    For employers who use several agencies to staff production and warehouse sites, a portal where each agency submits workers against orders, uploads compliance evidence and sees fill rates. The employer compares suppliers on quality and speed using the same data. Orders, fills and rejections are all time stamped for review.

    Agency performance measured on facts.

  • Fair outcome monitoring

    Reports on pass rates at each stage for groups that candidates voluntarily disclose, held apart from the hiring decision, with alerts when the gap widens. Useful for spotting indirect discrimination early, for example a shift requirement that excludes carers without real justification. Results feed a quarterly report for your HR director.

    Unfair patterns found and fixed quickly.

Who this is for

Four Birmingham employers we design for.

Birmingham sits at the centre of the country's road and rail network, and its employers reflect that: makers, builders, movers and advisers. Each group hires very differently, and an AI tool that suits one can frustrate another. These are the four situations we see most, with the way the platform adapts to each one. Many organisations fall into two of them, and the modules combine without a second system. In every case the first release targets the step where Birmingham candidates currently give up.

01

Manufacturers and automotive suppliers

Tier one and tier two suppliers, food producers and engineering firms across Birmingham and the Black Country need operators, technicians and maintenance engineers on demanding shift patterns. They benefit most from practical skills evidence, shift matching and agency supply management. A custom AI recruitment software development Birmingham manufacturers commission can reflect their own grading structure and plant layout, instead of forcing a generic retail process onto a production floor. Line leaders approve candidates from a tablet on the floor, and returning workers with good records are fast tracked without repeating every check.

Shift pattern and travel are the first filters, not the last.

02

Construction and infrastructure contractors

Major schemes in and around the city, including the HS2 works at Curzon Street, keep demand high for operatives, supervisors and plant operators. Contractors and labour suppliers need card and ticket verification, induction booking and right to work evidence before anyone is allocated to a site. We build those steps so they cannot be skipped under time pressure, and so site managers can see compliance status at a glance. Induction places are booked inside the app, and supervisors on each site can see who is cleared to start tomorrow. Temporary labour from several suppliers lands in one view, so the main contractor knows exactly who is on site and on what terms.

03

Logistics and distribution operators

The motorway network around the city makes the West Midlands a natural base for warehouses and fleets. Operators hire pickers, drivers and transport planners in waves, especially before peak trading. Licence check codes, shift matching and rehiring of last season's workers are where the time goes. We keep the application short enough to finish on a phone in a lorry park. Planners also see which candidates have worked with them before and how those placements ended, and seasonal workers get a reminder to reapply ahead of the next peak. Driver records connect to licence rechecks once someone is hired, so compliance does not end at the offer.

Drivers can apply without a laptop or a CV.

04

Banks, accountancy and law firms

HSBC UK's head office in the city and the large professional services firms around Colmore Row recruit graduates, trainees and experienced hires in numbers. They need strengths based screening, assessment centre management and fairness reporting that stands up to scrutiny. AI helps sort and summarise, while trained assessors make every selection decision and the audit trail records why. Assessment days can run at your own offices or online, and the platform handles invitations, assessor allocation and adjustments. Fairness reports by stage give graduate recruitment managers evidence for their diversity commitments and for any challenge from an unsuccessful applicant.

How we take a Birmingham project from brief to launch.

  1. 01Discovery callsVideo sessions with HR, site managers and recruiters to understand each hiring route, the evidence each role requires and the systems already in place, ending in a written first release scope.
  2. 02Data protection planningWe set out data flows, lawful basis, retention, verification records and automated decision safeguards so your team can complete its impact assessment before build begins. Your data protection lead signs it off.
  3. 03Design for the shop floorScreens tested with operatives, drivers, apprentices and graduates, checking they work on basic phones, with large text and in low signal areas such as warehouses and building sites. Changes are made before any code is written.
  4. 04Build and verification testingApps, dashboards and matching logic built in sprints, with every verification step tested against sample records and the screening logic checked for adverse impact before release. Defects are fixed inside the same sprint where possible.
  5. 05Pilot on one site or schemeA single factory, contract or graduate scheme goes live first. We measure time to hire, drop out and pass rates, and adjust before other Birmingham sites join. Site managers give feedback weekly during the pilot.
  6. 06Roll out across the regionFurther sites across the West Midlands follow, with monitoring of outcomes by stage and group and model reviews whenever roles or shift patterns change. Each site is trained before going live.

Technology

Questions Birmingham employers raise early on.

A discovery phase by video call that maps one hiring route in detail.

We speak with the people who hire and the people who get hired, look at where applications stall, and list the evidence each role requires, such as cards, licences or qualifications. From that we write a scope for the first release, usually the route with the biggest volume or the costliest delays. Dates and responsibilities go in writing before any design work begins. Birmingham managers who cannot attend a session can review its recording later.
