Meet Lily EngageRecruitment software should understand what is at stake.
Frontline hiring is high-volume, time-sensitive and often regulated. A vacancy affects more than a recruitment dashboard — it affects rotas, service delivery, compliance, and the people depending on your teams.
Lily is designed around the realities of frontline recruitment:
"Lily transformed how we hire. We went from weeks to days — and every candidate was treated with respect."
One process. Two views. Zero chasing.
Recruiters see exactly what's outstanding. Candidates get a clear checklist they complete from their phone.

Get a head start
Screen more people. Make better-informed decisions.
Traditional high-volume recruitment creates an uncomfortable trade-off: review every candidate slowly or move quickly with limited evidence.
Lily screens every applicant against the same role-specific framework. It combines CV evidence, phone interviews, video interviews and competency questions into a clear record for human review.
Consistent
Every applicant is assessed against the same criteria.
Evidence-backed
Recommendations link back to what the candidate actually said and supplied.
Human-controlled
Your team defines the process, reviews the evidence and makes the final decision.
Automation should mean candidates hear from you sooner, understand what happens next and are never left wondering.

Maintenance Engineer — Northgate Estates, Manchester
Overview
Eleven years on planned and reactive maintenance across two housing associations, most recently leading a two-person team on a 340-unit estate. Holds a current 18th Edition certificate and a full UK driving licence, and is on four weeks' notice.
Recommendation
Strong fit for the night rota — progress to a face-to-face interview and confirm the on-call expectation.
- Eleven years' reactive maintenance, including out-of-hours call-outs
- 18th Edition qualified and comfortable with legionella testing
- Has supervised a small team and handles resident-facing work well
- Four weeks' notice — later than the 1 September target start
- No recent experience with the Vaillant boiler range used on this estate
Talk me through a recent out-of-hours call-out and how you handled it.
Answer
“Heating failed on a block of twenty-eight flats at about eleven at night in January. I isolated the failed pump, got heaters out to the four residents who needed them most, and had the replacement fitted before seven the next morning.”
Which electrical and gas qualifications do you currently hold, and when do they expire?
Are you able to cover the one-in-four on-call weekend rota?
Give recruiters their jobs back.
Recruiters should be building relationships, advising managers and improving hiring. They should not spend Monday ringing unanswered numbers, moving data between systems or chasing the same document for the fourth time.
Lily gives every recruiter a clear next action and automates the repetitive work around it. Smaller teams gain the operational capacity of much larger ones, without adding seats or agencies.
