Recruitment software for small businesses

Hire staff professionally and compliantly without complicated software or overflowing inboxes

Hiring is not your main job

Most small business owners hire occasionally. Whether it is to cover leave, expand the team, or fill a new role, recruitment is only a small part of your daily responsibilities.

Without a system to organise applications, CVs can sit in personal inboxes indefinitely, making it difficult to find candidates when needed. This is against UK GDPR and could put your business at risk.

Many traditional recruitment tools are designed for large HR teams with continuous hiring and subscription contracts, which rarely fits a small business workflow.

Common challenges for small businesses

  • Hiring is infrequent but urgent when needed
  • No dedicated HR team to manage applicants
  • CVs coming from multiple channels and getting lost
  • Limited time to review, organise, and track candidates
  • Uncertainty over GDPR retention and compliance

How Yay Monday works for small businesses

Yay Monday allows small businesses to manage recruitment in two ways:

  • Speculative CV inbox: Keep a dedicated inbox open for ongoing applications. Each inbox is 1 credit per month. Applications are stored securely and automatic deletion ensures GDPR compliance. Ideal for roles that might be needed in the future or positions with frequent turnover.
  • Active vacancies: Advertise a specific role. Each vacancy is 1 credit per month. Candidates apply directly to that vacancy, giving you a clear list of applicants in one place.

You decide how many inboxes and vacancies are active at any time. Each represents an ongoing monthly cost while in use, giving you complete control over recruitment spending.

Why small businesses choose Yay Monday

  • Organise speculative and role-specific applications in one secure location
  • Compliant with UK GDPR, reducing legal risk
  • Flexible enough for occasional or urgent hires
  • Simple interface for business owners with no HR team
  • Pay only for the inboxes and vacancies you actively use

Yay Monday makes recruitment clear, manageable, and compliant, helping small businesses hire when needed without adding administrative burden or legal risk.
