Recruitment agencies · Reputation management

Candidates search your name and read that you charge for jobs.

Reputation for a recruitment agency is what a candidate and an HR head each find when they search your name. Consultancy listings collect angry ratings from people who were never placed. GullySales sets up the monitoring and the replies, and builds a routine for collecting proof from those who were.

A statue plinth seen close: the bronze figure implied only by its feet and the hem of its drapery above the top of the frame, one face of the stone pedestal scrubbed pale and the other still grimy and carrying a scrawl of paint, with a pressure hose coiled on the steps beside a bucket, brushes and cloths

What reputation management means

Reputation management is watching what is said about your business across Google, social media and review sites, and responding to it before it changes a buyer's mind. GullySales monitors mentions, drafts responses to negative reviews and flags recurring complaints back to your team.

For recruitment agencies

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • Most reviews come from people you did not place

    Somebody who interviewed and was rejected writes the review that evening. The candidate who joined is busy settling into a new job.

  • The fee accusation is the one that loses clients

    A review claiming money was asked for a placement is read by HR heads as well as candidates, and it has to be answered plainly and quickly.

  • An offer drop travels further than any review

    A candidate who accepted and did not join usually had a bad experience somewhere, and that story moves through college groups faster than a rating.

What we do

What we deliver for recruitment agencies.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. Monitoring across search, portals and employer sites

    Regular checks of your Google listing, job portal pages and the employer review sites where consultancies get discussed.

    Result: A damaging post is found in the week it appears.

  2. Reply wording for fee accusations and rejections

    Prepared, calm responses stating how your process works and offering a direct line, without confirming anything about an individual application.

    Result: A reader sees a firm that answers rather than argues.

  3. Review asks timed to a candidate's joining week

    A short request made once somebody has started and is settled, which is the only moment a placed candidate is inclined to write.

    Result: Recent positive reviews arrive without chasing.

  4. Written notes collected from HR heads

    Short comments from clients who have used you for years, kept for panel applications and outreach rather than posted publicly.

    Result: You have proof for the HR head who has never briefed you.

  5. A record of offer drops and their reasons

    Every candidate who accepted and did not join, logged with the reason, so a pattern in one client or one consultant becomes visible.

    Result: The cause gets fixed instead of being blamed on the market.

  6. A monthly reputation summary

    New reviews, replies sent, requests made and items still open, reported against the baseline taken at the audit.

    Result: Nothing damaging sits unanswered for a month.

How the result is measured

  • Average rating
  • Response time to reviews
  • Negative mentions resolved

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, then reported every month against it.

Who it is for

This is written for these recruitment agencies.

  • IT and technology staffing agencies
  • Blue-collar and industrial workforce agencies
  • Executive search and leadership hiring firms
  • Contract and temporary staffing agencies
  • Sector-specialist recruitment firms
  • Bulk and volume hiring agencies
  • Boutique niche-skill recruitment firms

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

How it works

From your first message to the first monthly report.

No open-ended retainer. Each step has a point in time and something you receive.

  1. 01 · Day 1

    Free audit call

    45 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.

  2. 02 · Within a few working days

    Written, scored report

    Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope and fee come with it, in writing.

  3. 03 · Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later month has an honest comparison.

  4. 04 · Month 1

    The first fix goes live

    Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.

  5. 05 · Every month

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.

  6. 06 · Month 3 to 6

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. No twelve-month lock.

How the work runs for recruitment agencies

  1. 1

    Assess

    We look at your database's quality, how client updates are paced through a search, and how your website shows experience in specific roles.

  2. 2

    Fix communication

    A structured update cadence for clients and a clear status record for every candidate in an active search.

  3. 3

    Build the database

    A verified, actively maintained candidate pipeline organised by skill, so a search does not start from a cold list.

  4. 4

    Bring in client accounts

    Visibility with HR managers, referral from past clients, and content that shows real experience in specific role types.

  5. 5

    Convert and retain

    Faster shortlist turnaround, tracked repeat business by client, and a placement follow-up that catches an early dropout.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every monthly report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No lock-in, no guarantees we cannot keep

    Three to six months at a time. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

A rejected candidate has left a one-star review. What now?
Reply once, briefly, without arguing and without confirming anything about their application. State how your process works and offer a direct line. Then ask three recently placed candidates, because five recent reviews answer one old one.
Do HR heads really read our reviews?
Before a first mandate, yes. Many will search your name and glance at the rating before replying to an email. It is often the only independent thing they can see about you.
Do we need to advertise for candidates?
Mostly not. A verified database costs nothing in media, and a fast shortlist depends on it. Paid job ads help for one hard-to-fill role type at a time.
A client already has three agencies on its panel. Can we still get in?
Yes, usually through one role the others are struggling with. We prepare a short note on the roles of that type you have filled, sent to the HR head with a shortlist offer. Winning one hard role opens the panel more often than any presentation.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped in the free audit and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
Three to six months at a time. There is no twelve-month lock, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
Fixes to reply time, follow-up and your Google Business Profile usually show in weeks, because the enquiries already exist. Ads show in days once follow-up is ready. SEO and content take months. The audit tells you which applies to you.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you meet on the audit call. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
For the audit, last month's enquiries in any format and 45 minutes with whoever handles them. After that, access to the accounts the work touches, such as the website, Google Business Profile or CRM, and time for the monthly review.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Every month is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. Terms run three to six months at a time, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
