Services · Ecommerce development · AI recruitment subscription sites

Selling AI hiring software to Manchester's employers, universities and graduates.

Codeeo offers AI recruitment subscription website development Manchester software companies use when their buyers are as varied as the city itself. Graduate employers, creative studios at MediaCityUK, professional firms in Spinningfields, university careers services and individual students all pay for recruitment tools in different ways. We build one subscription site that sells employer plans, institutional licences and personal plans side by side, with the right checkout, contract terms and billing rules for each type of buyer.

The commercial site is our focus. Your matching engine, video interview analysis or CV screening remains your product team's work. Our AI recruitment SaaS website development Manchester projects handle the pages, payments, invoices, renewals and account settings that turn interest from Manchester buyers into dependable recurring revenue, from the first sign up through every renewal.

Platform capabilities

One commercial site for three very different kinds of customer.

Manchester has two large universities on Oxford Road, a busy graduate jobs market, a strong digital and broadcast sector across Salford Quays, and agencies and employers spread through Greater Manchester. A recruitment software vendor here might sell a screening tool to employers, an assessment licence to a careers service and a practice tool to students, all from the same product. Each sale needs a different price page, payment method and set of legal terms. Mixing them up causes refund disputes and billing errors. The capabilities below keep the three audiences apart on the surface while sharing one billing system underneath, so finance reports on every customer from a single set of records whatever route they arrived by.

Explain your project
  • Separate routes for employers and individuals

    The site asks early whether a visitor is hiring or job seeking and sends each to pricing written for them. Employer plans show VAT treatment for businesses; personal plans show the full price a consumer pays, including VAT, as the drip pricing rules require.

    Each buyer sees terms and prices that actually apply to them.

  • Academic year licences for institutions

    Universities and colleges usually buy for an academic year, raise a purchase order and pay on invoice. We build licence records tied to term dates, invoice generation with PO numbers, and renewal reminders timed for budget planning rather than calendar months.

    Careers services can buy within their own procurement cycle.

  • Seat allocation by careers advisers

    An institution licence includes a pool of student accounts. Advisers invite students by email domain or in batches, reassign unused seats, and see usage across the year without access to any student's private results unless the student shares them.

    Licences are used in full and student privacy is respected.

  • Consumer checkout with cancellation rights

    Personal plans for graduates follow the Consumer Contracts Regulations: pre contract information, a confirmation email with terms, and the cancellation period handled properly. Where access starts immediately, the checkout records the customer's express request and acknowledgement first.

    Personal subscriptions stand up if a customer later disputes them.

  • Campaign season plans for graduate employers

    Graduate recruitment runs in waves around application deadlines and assessment centres. Employers can choose a plan that covers their campaign window, add screening capacity for peak weeks, then step down without losing their data.

    Employers pay for the months they actually hire.

  • Wallet payments for students

    Students mostly buy on phones. Apple Pay and Google Pay sit alongside cards, with Strong Customer Authentication handled by the wallet, so a graduate can subscribe in a few taps between lectures or shifts, and the receipt arrives by email straight away.

    Higher completion on mobile sign ups.

  • Studio and agency team plans

    Creative and digital employers around Salford Quays and the Northern Quarter often hire freelancers and short contract staff. Team plans let a studio add and remove users month by month, with prorated charges and a clean invoice each time a project ends.

    Flexible teams pay only for the seats they use.

  • Payment recovery and reminders

    Expired cards, insufficient funds and missed invoices each get their own retry rules and messages. Students receive gentle reminders with a link to update payment; institutions receive formal overdue notices addressed to accounts payable, with the purchase order number repeated.

    Revenue is recovered without upsetting either audience.

  • Accessible pricing and checkout

    Pricing tables, forms and the account area built and tested to WCAG 2.2, including keyboard use, screen readers and clear error messages. Universities assess suppliers on accessibility, and the Equality Act applies to the service your customers receive.

    Disabled students and staff can buy and manage plans unaided.

  • Professional services quotes

    Law, accountancy and consulting firms around Spinningfields tend to want a written proposal before they commit. A quote builder turns the plan they configure online into a formal order form for electronic signature, and the signed form starts the subscription with the agreed terms and invoice schedule already set.

    Firm buyers get the paperwork they expect without slowing the sale.

Who this is for

Four Manchester vendors we often work with.

Recruitment technology in Manchester grows out of several local strengths: early careers expertise, a large student population, creative industries in Salford and a mature professional services sector. As an AI recruitment subscription platform development Manchester partner, we start by deciding which audience pays first, because that choice shapes checkout, contract terms and billing more than any feature list does. The four vendor types below each lead to a different first release.

01

Early careers platforms selling to graduate employers

Your tool screens applications and schedules assessments during graduate campaigns. We build campaign window plans, capacity add ons for peak weeks and an enterprise quote route for large intake programmes. Reports by campaign help employers compare cost per hire across years, and invoices reference the campaign so finance teams can match them to budgets. Employers outside the city centre, from Trafford Park to Stockport, buy through the same route.

Seasonal pricing needs clear wording about what happens after the window closes.

02

Careers and assessment tools sold to universities

Institutions buy through procurement, often via frameworks, and expect accessibility statements, data processing terms and invoices on academic year cycles. We build the institutional licence model, adviser dashboards for seat management and the supplier documentation pages procurement officers look for. Accessibility evidence and data processing terms are ready to send the day procurement asks for them.

03

Direct to graduate products

CV feedback, interview practice and job matching sold to individuals bring consumer law into play. We build the consumer checkout, cancellation handling and clear renewal reminders, and we flag that charging job seekers can raise questions under the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations, which your adviser should review for your model. Renewal reminders are clear and early, so graduates are never surprised by a charge after they find a job.

We will not launch a job seeker paywall without that legal check being done first.

04

Vendors selling to creative and digital studios

Studios at MediaCityUK and across the city hire for projects, so headcount moves constantly. We build flexible team plans with monthly seat changes, portfolio friendly onboarding copy, and card or Direct Debit payment for smaller studios that do not want annual contracts. Small studios often prefer monthly terms, so annual plans stay optional rather than pushed.

Six steps to a Manchester subscription site that serves every buyer.

  1. 01Audience and pricing discoveryBy video call, we map who pays, how each group buys, which legal terms apply to them, and which billing events your team currently handles manually. Notes go to every attendee.
  2. 02Contract and consent mappingConsumer terms, business terms, institutional licences, PECR marketing consent and UK GDPR roles are matched to the right checkout and account flows before design. Your adviser reviews this map.
  3. 03Pricing, checkout and account designSeparate routes for each audience designed in parallel, mobile first for students, and tested against WCAG 2.2 before any code is written. Content is drafted alongside.
  4. 04Billing and systems integrationBilling provider, wallets, invoicing, accounting software, CRM and your product's usage events connected, with every scenario tested including cancellations within the consumer period. Failures are logged for finance.
  5. 05Launch ahead of the hiring calendarGo live planned around graduate campaign dates and academic terms, so new billing is stable before the busiest weeks rather than during them. Support scripts are ready on day one.
  6. 06Review after the first seasonConversion by audience, refund requests, seat usage and failed payments reviewed with you, and changes planned for the following campaign or academic year. Priorities are agreed in writing.

Technology

Questions Manchester recruitment software vendors raise.

We separate the audiences at the front and share billing at the back.

Employers, institutions and individuals see their own pricing pages, checkout and terms, while one billing system holds every customer. That keeps reporting in one place and avoids maintaining three platforms. We start by deciding which audience matters most for revenue this year and build that route fully, then add the others in planned releases so nothing launches half finished. Shared customer records also mean a graduate who later joins an employer customer can be recognised without merging accounts by hand.
