The Fit Theory is a UK brand that designs sculpting flare leggings with hidden pockets, sold online. Its in-house team was running recruitment largely by hand, and wanted candidates and shortlists without adding to that workload.

The challenge

Hiring that depended on hand-built shortlists

The Fit Theory's in-house recruitment team handled sourcing, outreach and screening manually. They needed several roles filled across operations and marketing ahead of their busiest trading period, without growing the team. Every hour spent searching and messaging was an hour taken from the conversations that decide a hire.

Our approach

One engine for candidates and shortlists

RecruitRev took over the repeatable steps. The engine found candidates for each role, messaged them personally, screened the interested ones against the brief and returned a ranked shortlist for every active role. The in-house team kept the conversations and the decisions. It went live within a week of kickoff, and the first shortlist arrived on day 6.
