Qualified Meetings with Hiring Managers · For UK Recruitment Agencies
Youclosetheroles. Webookthemeetings.
We don't run your BD for you. We let AI do the AI job, organising data, picking up hiring signals, timing outreach, and we keep the human bit human. Niche-specialised campaign managers follow up and call engaged prospects, so meetings with hiring managers land in your diary on autopilot.
The engine, in 50 seconds
From role posted to meeting booked. Six days.
One hiring manager. Seven beats. The exact sequence we run on every signal we pick up.
30+ UK recruitment agencies book meetings through Mentis.
What we do
Humans do the human bit. AI does the AI job.
Signals, timing and data run on autopilot. When a hiring manager engages, a niche-specialised campaign manager picks up the phone.
Value-First Outreach
We send assets that actually help, not pitches. When a hiring manager engages, our campaign manager steps in with a human message, timed to the moment.
- Assets written for each sector
- Engagement triggers the human hand-off
Human Follow-Up
Niche-specialised campaign managers make the calls, hold the follow-ups, and book the meeting. Humans where humans matter.
- Campaign managers by sector
- Qualified meetings into your diary

Growth scenarios
Most recruitment BD fails because it's too late and too generic.
Four reasons agencies come to us. If any of these are your week, we should talk.
You've outgrown a freelancer
One person isn't a system.
Sporadic activity, nothing behind it. You're ready for a proper desk, without the headcount, ramp or commission plan.
Feast-famine
Pipeline dies the week placements pick up.
Three big months, then nothing. We keep it running even when your consultants can't, so the forecast stops swinging.
You can't justify a BDM
£60k base + commission + ramp? Not yet.
We do the work of a BDM for less, and you see qualified meetings from week two, not month six.
Lead gen burned you
Rubbish data. No context. Nobody replying.
AI organises the data and catches the signals. Humans make the calls. No spray, no scripts, just the right message at the right moment.
In our own words
It’s not an AI thing. It’s a BD replacement.
The line we keep coming back to with clients, in thirteen seconds.

The team
The people doing the work. Not the sales pitch.
