Previously relying on a manual workflow with a previous supplier, Linnk Group found that issuing employment contracts was a slow process prone to human error. The lack of integration meant the Contracts Manager spent excessive time chasing signatures via spreadsheets, creating compliance risks and slowing down deals.
By integrating Doc2 directly into their recruitment CRM (Mercury), they have automated the generation of offer letters and onboarding packs using live candidate data. This shift has empowered their 70 sales consultants to secure placements significantly faster while maintaining strict management oversight.
Linnk Group Challenges
Before implementing Doc2, the team was grappling with a static PDF process from a previous supplier that required consultants to manually type contract details. This administrative burden slowed down the issuance of vital offer letters and employment contracts, taking time away from revenue-generating activities.
There was a distinct lack of central oversight, forcing the Contracts Manager to manage the status of candidate signatures through offline spreadsheets. This lack of a central store meant they were constantly reacting to queries manually, resulting in a workflow that was inefficient and fundamentally non-compliant.
They often found themselves chasing consultants to locate missing contracts, having no clear view of where a placement document sat in the signing process. The manual data entry involved in high-volume recruitment created significant room for errors, such as inputting the wrong country details into a contract.
These mistakes were often only spotted by the Operations Director after the document was sent, requiring unprofessional recalls that risked damaging client trust. Despite these inefficiencies, their previous supplier attempted to raise prices without offering the deep integration capabilities required for their workflow.
How Doc2 Helped
Linnk Group has now built a custom integration into their Mercury CRM, allowing Doc2 to instantly pull candidate data to generate accurate contracts. This automation means specific clauses are populated automatically, removing the need for consultants to manually edit templates or drag-and-drop signatures.
Internal approvals are now strictly enforced within the CRM before the Doc2 API triggers the send to the candidate. This ensures that every placement document is compliant and checked by management prior to issue, drastically reducing errors and the need for document recalls.
The speed at which offer letters and contracts are dispatched has improved deal flow, allowing the business to secure talent ahead of competitors. Even junior consultants can now generate their own compliant documentation instantly, removing bottlenecks from the senior management team.
Management companies and contractors no longer struggle with cluttered inboxes; they use a dedicated portal to view and sign multiple agreements centrally. Additionally, the API allows clients to retrieve unsigned PDFs for their own internal processing, positioning Linnk Group as a tech-forward partner.
