Subscription sites that sell AI hiring tools to Birmingham's busy agencies.

Codeeo provides AI recruitment subscription website development Birmingham software firms rely on to sell screening and matching tools to the agencies and employers of the West Midlands. Many buyers here run high volume temporary and permanent hiring for manufacturers, warehouses, construction contractors and drivers, often from several branches. The site we build explains your plans in plain terms, takes payment by Direct Debit or card, bills each branch correctly, and lets customers scale up for peak seasons without ringing your office.

We focus on the commercial website and billing platform, not the recruitment product behind the login. Our AI recruitment SaaS website development Birmingham projects cover plans, sign up, payment, invoices and the self serve account area, connected to whatever product your engineers already run, whether that product lives in Birmingham or elsewhere.

What the platform covers

Built for agencies that hire in volume and pay by Direct Debit.

A recruitment agency on Hagley Road filling forklift, production and driver roles buys software very differently from a London search firm. Owners want to know exactly what each month will cost, they often prefer Direct Debit to cards, and they may run branches in Wolverhampton, Coventry or Solihull under one company. Demand jumps when logistics and retail clients staff up for peak periods, then drops again. The subscription platform has to reflect that rhythm: predictable base plans, flexible volume on top, and invoices that make sense to a busy office manager. The capabilities below are arranged around those realities rather than around a generic software pricing template.

Explain your project
  • Plain English plan comparison

    Plans described by what an agency actually does: how many consultants, how many live vacancies, how many candidates screened each month. Technical terms such as tokens or model calls stay out of the pricing page. Every price includes the charges a buyer cannot avoid, in line with UK drip pricing rules in the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.

    Agency owners understand the offer without booking a demo.

  • Direct Debit first checkout

    Sign up collects a Bacs Direct Debit mandate as the default, with card payment as an alternative. Mandate confirmation and advance notice emails follow scheme rules, and the first collection date is shown clearly before the customer confirms.

    Small and mid sized agencies pay the way they already pay suppliers.

  • Branch level accounts and billing

    One company account with separate branches, each with its own seats, credit balance and optional cost code on the invoice. Head office sees a consolidated bill; branch managers see only their own usage and users.

    Multi branch agencies stop splitting invoices by hand.

  • Volume packs for peak hiring

    Extra screening or shift matching credits sold as packs, bought instantly from the account area when a logistics client asks for fifty pickers next week. Packs can expire or roll over according to your rules, and customers get a warning before balances run low.

    Seasonal spikes become top up revenue instead of plan disputes.

  • Rolling monthly plans with clear notice

    Many agencies dislike annual lock ins. We support monthly rolling plans with a notice period stated at checkout, and annual plans with a discount for those who prefer them. Renewal dates and notice rules are visible in the account at all times.

    Buyers commit with confidence because exit terms are clear.

  • Pause instead of cancel

    When a client contract ends and hiring slows, an agency can pause its subscription for a set period at a reduced charge or none, keeping its data and settings. Cancellation stays one click away for anyone who wants it, so the pause option never becomes a barrier.

    Fewer customers leave during quiet months.

  • Referral and partner billing

    Agency networks and recruitment consultancies in the region often recommend tools to each other. A referral programme tracks introductions, applies agreed discounts or commissions, and reports partner earnings so your team can pay them accurately.

    Word of mouth becomes a measured sales channel.

  • VAT invoices and accounting sync

    Every charge produces a VAT invoice with the details HMRC expects, numbered sequentially and sent to the billing contact. Invoices and payments sync to Xero, QuickBooks or Sage so your bookkeeper reconciles Direct Debit collections automatically.

    Month end closes without chasing missing paperwork.

  • Demo booking for larger buyers

    Employers such as manufacturers with their own talent teams may still want a call. A booking form qualifies the enquiry by company size and hiring volume, places a video demo in a sales diary and records the lead in your CRM.

    Sales time goes to buyers who are ready to talk.

  • Failed collection recovery

    When a Direct Debit is returned unpaid or a card is declined, the platform retries on a sensible schedule, emails the billing contact with a link to update details, and alerts your team for larger accounts. Access is limited only after a grace period, so an agency is never cut off in the middle of a busy week.

    Missed payments are recovered quietly and consistently.

Who this is for

Four Birmingham situations we design for.

Birmingham has a broad recruitment market: industrial and driving agencies on the ring road, professional services recruiters around Colmore Row and Brindleyplace, and in house teams at large employers such as HSBC UK, whose head office is at Centenary Square. Technology firms building recruitment products are scattered from Digbeth to the Jewellery Quarter. As an AI recruitment subscription platform development Birmingham partner, we shape the first release around which of these buyers you sell to.

01

Vendors selling to industrial and driving agencies

Your buyers fill warehouse, production and HGV roles in bulk and watch costs closely. We design a short sign up with Direct Debit, branch accounts and volume packs for peak periods, and keep the pricing page free of jargon. Messages about payments and renewals are written for an office manager reading between phone calls. Usage reports by branch show owners which offices get the most value, which helps at renewal time.

Clarity sells better than a long feature list to this audience.

02

Vendors selling to professional services recruiters

Agencies placing accountants, lawyers and finance staff around Colmore Row expect a polished buying experience and formal invoices. We add per consultant pricing, annual options and a trust page covering data handling and how automated screening is overseen by consultants, which partners at those firms will read closely before signing. Formal annual invoices with a single payment date suit the way partnerships manage supplier costs.

03

Vendors with in house talent teams as customers

Large Birmingham employers often need purchase orders, supplier onboarding and invoice terms. We provide a quote route alongside self serve checkout, capture PO numbers, and send invoices to accounts payable addresses rather than individual recruiters. Usage reports by department help the talent lead justify renewal internally. Single sign on for account administrators can be added where the employer's IT policy requires it.

04

Local start ups launching their first paid plan

A product built in Digbeth or the Jewellery Quarter may have strong early users but no billing at all. We set up a billing provider, a simple pricing page and an account area, migrate pilot users with any agreed discounts, and keep the configuration easy to change as your pricing settles. Analytics from the first months then show which plan buyers choose and why.

We plan the first release so it can ship before pricing is perfect.

Six stages to a Birmingham subscription site that bills correctly.

  1. 01Discovery by video callWe learn who your buyers are, how agencies in the region pay suppliers, which branches and volumes are typical, and which billing problems your team handles by hand today. Notes are shared after each session.
  2. 02Billing rules written downEvery scenario, from a mid month branch addition to a paused account restarting, is described in plain language and signed off by your finance lead before build. Your accountant can review the VAT wording at this point.
  3. 03Pricing and sign up designPlan pages, Direct Debit checkout and the account area designed for clarity, tested for WCAG 2.2 accessibility, and reviewed with a few of your real customers where possible. Mobile layouts get the same attention as desktop.
  4. 04Integration and testingBilling provider, Direct Debit, accounting software, CRM and product usage data connected, then tested with collections, failures, refunds and credit notes. Every integration has a named owner on your side.
  5. 05Moving existing customersCurrent agency customers moved across with their prices and dates intact, new mandates collected only where needed, and plain emails explaining any change. Nobody is charged twice during the switch.
  6. 06Watching the first peakWe review how volume packs, pauses and failed collections behave through your first busy hiring period and adjust rules and messaging accordingly. The findings shape the next release.

Questions Birmingham recruitment software firms ask.

Pricing pages, sign up, billing, invoices and a self serve account area.

We design and build the public site that explains your plans, the checkout that collects Direct Debit or card payment, the billing logic for seats, branches and credits, and the account pages where customers manage everything themselves. Integrations with your product, CRM and accounting software tie it together. The recruitment product itself stays with your own team, and we agree the boundary in discovery. A Birmingham vendor selling mainly to agencies usually needs Direct Debit and branch billing first; one selling to large employers usually needs purchase orders first.
