IndusApp: recruitment software with AI in the workflow

What it runs

For more than twenty years we've built and evolved Indus Recruitment's day-to-day platform — from the original IRDS migration off Microsoft Access through to today's IndusApp. It supports temps and candidates, placements, timesheets, documents, client portals, SMS and WhatsApp, a message board, and employer reporting.

The earlier platform

The early cloud move supported over 24,000 employees and 26,000 active users, with automation that saved around 10% of weekly effort and avoided an extra full-time hire.

AI in the same workflows

More recently we've put practical AI into those same workflows. It is custom work for Indus, sitting on trusted operational data. The features already in use are:

• Smart Search. Natural-language candidate search over employee knowledge — helps consultants find suitable temps faster than keyword search alone.
• Indus Insights. Short AI write-ups on absenteeism and temp usage/billing reports — turns dense timesheet and absence data into clear titles and detail for client-facing reporting.
• Employee profile summaries. Employer-facing marketing summaries for candidates, plus quick AI previews on employee admin screens so consultants get context while browsing skills, docs, and onboarding.
• CV and inbox document processing. Automated CV text extraction from incoming applications — less manual re-keying, faster intake into the recruitment pipeline.
• AWS Bedrock. One production-minded Bedrock setup shared across features, with human workflows still in control.
