The layer most recruiters never see — but every good desk feels.
This separate technical view sets out the advanced direction designed for real desks: an assistant that learns you, a voice desk that removes phone admin, one dashboard that respects your day, and enrichment that scales with how you actually work.
Meet Collie — the assistant that learns your desk.
Collie (short for collar, and named after the sheepdog — a working dog that herds signal into action) is the personal AI layer inside Job Collar. Not a chatbot. A colleague that gets sharper every week.
Which candidates you open, who you call, which drafts you send vs bin, the tone you use, the desks you specialise in. Every action is quiet feedback — Collie adjusts ranking, phrasing and priorities to fit you, not the average recruiter.
Weekly 5-minute check-ins: what worked, what stalled, which BD lanes to lean into, which contacts to protect. Collie proposes the plan; you approve or reshape it. The output writes back into next week's priorities.
The Assistant tab is Collie's front door — ad-hoc questions, structured campaigns, note dictation, brief-me-on-this. Every conversation becomes context Collie carries forward. Your desk's memory, not a generic model's.
Most AI is a stranger every morning. Collie is the same colleague every morning — with more context than yesterday. That's the difference between a tool you tolerate and a tool you rely on.
The voice desk — call quality, without the admin.
Phones are still where recruitment gets won. Job Collar's voice layer keeps you on the call and off the keyboard — with your own number on show, and a clean written record when you hang up.
- · Outbound calls route through your existing business number — no unknown caller ID, no ‘0000’, no ignored calls.
- · Number masking is transparent to the candidate: they see you and can call you back on the same number.
- · Works from mobile or desktop — the phone system follows the recruiter, not the seat.
- · HD voice capture with in-call transcription running quietly in the background.
- · When you hang up, Collie writes the note: outcome, next step, key facts, timeline, sentiment — in your voice, ready to save.
- · The summary drops straight into JobAdder as a note or activity, tagged to the person and the job. No re-typing.
- · Recording is opt-in per market, with a spoken consent line where required.
- · Transcripts are PII-redacted before any AI sees them; the raw audio stays in your tenancy.
- · Every write-back to JobAdder is logged, reversible, and attributable to a specific call.
- · One click from the candidate card to the call — no dialler switching, no copy-paste.
- · Post-call, Collie proposes the next action (draft outreach, book interview, add to campaign) from what was said, not what was guessed.
- · The desk feels like one product because it is — voice, notes, drafts and next actions on the same graph.
One dashboard for your day — not just your JobAdder day.
Recruiters aren't just recruiters. Job Collar's dashboards blend what the desk needs from you with what the day needs from you — so the plan you look at in the morning is the plan you can actually run.
- · Top opportunities from Job Collar (movers, warm BD, at-risk clients).
- · Calendar (work + personal) — the school run, the gym, the deep-work block.
- · Tasks and reminders from your existing tools, surfaced alongside candidate actions.
- · A single ranked list: "what actually matters between now and 6pm."
- · A "call the priority contact at 2pm" recommendation is useless if you're on the school pickup.
- · Collie schedules against your real availability, not your JobAdder availability.
- · Personal calendar data stays private — only free/busy windows influence ranking.
- · Result: a desk plan that survives contact with your actual life.

Mockup for illustration. Personal-calendar integration is opt-in; only free/busy is used, never event content.
Enrichment that scales with how you actually work.
Most AI products charge you the same whether you use them or not. Job Collar is consumption-aware — the engine breathes with your desk. More activity when it matters, less when it doesn't.
Launching a niche, ramping BD, onboarding new users, or running an EOFY push? Enrichment, job-ad scanning and mover detection dial up — fresher records, wider net, more frequent sweeps.
On holiday, running lean, or a slow week? Activity dials down automatically. Job Collar isn't burning credits refreshing a database no one's touching.
Bring on new users and enrichment scales with them. Every new recruiter's activity feeds the same graph — the whole desk gets sharper, not just the new hire.
You pay a flat monthly fee tied to your plan. Underneath, the engine chooses when to sweep, how deep to enrich, and which signals to refresh — so cost stays predictable and value stays high.
Data freshness should follow attention. If nobody's using the product this week, nothing's being missed by slowing down. The moment activity picks up — logins, calls, campaigns, new users — the engine wakes up with you.
The advanced layer is what turns a tool into a desk.
Collie learns you. The voice desk removes admin. The dashboard respects your day. And the engine scales with your effort, not against it. That's Job Collar under the bonnet.
