What we build

One sharp fix first.
Five more when you're ready.

Every system is built for how a small recruitment agency actually runs — placements, client invoices, candidate emails, weekly numbers.

Flagship · Most requested

The Invoice Chaser

Your placement fees, chased automatically. Every morning at 9am the system finds overdue invoices, writes a personalised reminder in your tone, sends it, and logs it — escalating politely at day 7, 14 and 21. You stop sending awkward emails. The money stops sitting there.

  • AI-written reminders that sound like you, not a robot
  • Automatic escalation schedule — polite, firm, final
  • Every chase logged against the invoice, nothing slips
  • Can be live within days of kickoff

Email Drafter

Candidate and client emails get an AI-drafted reply waiting in your Gmail drafts within minutes. You review and send in seconds — your inbox stops eating your evenings.

Lead Qualifier

Every inbound enquiry is captured, scored by AI and routed. Hot leads get an instant personalised reply; the rest are logged. No more checking the form inbox.

Weekly Report

A clear, AI-written report on placements, pipeline and payments lands in your inbox every Monday before you start work. No spreadsheets on a Sunday night.

Client Onboarding

New client signs — welcome email, folders, CRM entry and team alert all happen automatically in seconds. Every client gets the same sharp first impression.

Content Pipeline

AI generates social post drafts each week from your chosen topics — you approve in minutes. Stay visible to clients and candidates without losing an afternoon.

Custom Build

Doing something repetitive, manually, more than once a week? It can almost certainly be automated. Tell us the problem — we'll map the fix on the call.

The maths

What does chasing invoices actually cost you?

Drag the sliders. Be honest.

Cost of chasing, per year
£9,360

vs a one-off build from £400
that's 23× the cost of fixing it, every year.

The process

From first call to running.
Inside two weeks.

You don't need to understand the technology. Just tell us the problem.

STEP 01

15-minute call

A short, honest conversation about where your time actually goes. No jargon, no pitch deck.

STEP 02

Scope & fixed price

We map exactly what gets built, what it connects to, and what it costs. No surprises, no day rates.

STEP 03

Build & test

Built and tested rigorously before it touches your live setup. Simple builds are live in days.

STEP 04

Handover & support

A walkthrough so you know exactly how it works, full documentation, and optional monthly cover.

Who's behind it

Built by an analyst.
Designed for recruiters.

I'm Tashfeen, the founder of Red Brick. My background is data analytics and business analysis — which means I don't start with the tech, I start with your process.

Before building anything, I map how your agency actually runs — placements, invoicing, candidate flow — find the bottleneck, and fix the real problem rather than a symptom of it. If your team does something repetitive, manually, more than once a week, I can almost certainly automate it.

Questions

Asked on almost every call.

We already use Xero / QuickBooks — doesn't that chase invoices?+
Those tools record invoices and can send a generic template nudge. What they don't do is write a personalised, escalating chase in your tone, adapt it per client, log every contact, and alert you when something needs a human. The Invoice Chaser sits on top of your existing invoicing — it doesn't replace it.
Do I need to buy or learn new software?+
No. Everything is built on the tools you already run — Gmail, Google Sheets, Airtable — with the automation layer working quietly behind them. Your team's day-to-day doesn't change; the repetitive parts just stop needing them.
How fast can something be live?+
Simple builds like the Invoice Chaser or Weekly Report can often be live within days of kickoff. Larger builds take up to ten working days. Every build is tested before it touches your live setup.
What happens if it breaks?+
Every build includes error handling and documentation. On the monthly retainer, everything is monitored and errors are fixed within 24 hours — you'll usually never know anything happened.
Is our client and candidate data safe?+
The automations run inside your own accounts — your Gmail, your sheets, your CRM. During handover you get a walkthrough of exactly what data moves where, so nothing is a black box.
What does it cost?+
Builds start at £400 one-off. The 15-minute call is where we scope what you actually need — you'll get a fixed price before anything is built, and no obligation either way.
