From CV pile to hire in one workspace
Evidence behind every candidate
Each candidate lands in Aligned, Potential, Hold, or Unclear with plain-English reasoning, matched and missing criteria, and follow-up questions for candidates on Hold.
A Candidate Pool you can search
Keep screened candidates, CVs, notes, and results in one place, filter across roles, and reuse past candidates for a new role instead of starting from zero.
Hiring stages from shortlist to hire
Move candidates through shortlisted, phone screen, interviews, and offer, with stage history and notes. When someone accepts, record the hire, including people hired outside Marxel, and close the job.
Candidate emails you review before sending
Draft follow-up, next-step, and rejection emails from the candidate's record, review them, and send with delivery tracking.
Built for a small team
Export results to CSV for hiring managers or clients and keep an audit log of changes. On Plus and Business, invite colleagues as admins or members.

When Marxel fits, and when it does not
An agency or small in-house team drowning in CVs
Marxel fits well: screening, candidates, and stages in one workspace.
You already use Ashby, Recruitee, Workable, or Breezy HR
Keep your ATS and connect Marxel for screening with evidence attached.
You need job-board multiposting or calendar sync
Use a full ATS for those steps. Marxel does not multipost jobs or sync with Google or Outlook calendars; connect it if your ATS is supported.
You hire a handful of people a year with few applicants
A spreadsheet may be enough. Screening software pays off when volume makes manual review slow or inconsistent.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best recruitment software for a UK small business?
It depends on where the time goes. If most of it goes on reading CVs, choose software with screening built in and pricing in GBP. Marxel screens CVs against criteria your team approves, keeps candidates and hiring stages in one place, and has a free plan. If you mainly need job-board multiposting, a full ATS is the better fit.
Is Marxel an applicant tracking system?
Marxel covers screening, a searchable Candidate Pool, hiring stages, candidate emails, and hire records. It does not multipost jobs to job boards or sync with Google or Outlook calendars, so some teams run it beside an ATS. It connects with Ashby, Recruitee, Workable, and Breezy HR.
Is Marxel suitable for recruitment agencies?
Yes. Agencies can use it to turn a client brief into screening criteria, screen large applicant batches, track candidates through stages, and export results to share with clients.
How much does recruitment software cost in the UK?
Prices vary from free plans to quote-only enterprise suites. Marxel's plans are listed in GBP on the pricing page, starting with a free plan of 200 CV screens a month.
Does Marxel make hiring decisions?
No. Marxel recommends a bucket and shows its reasoning. Your team reviews the evidence and makes every decision.
Is Marxel UK GDPR compliant?
Marxel is built for GDPR-conscious hiring: a DPA with the UK IDTA, set retention periods, encryption, and no AI training on your data. Each employer remains responsible for its own lawful basis, candidate notices, and retention policy. See the security page for details.
