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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

- 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
05 · Every month
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.
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
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
Fix communication
A structured update cadence for clients and a clear status record for every candidate in an active search.
- 3
Build the database
A verified, actively maintained candidate pipeline organised by skill, so a search does not start from a cold list.
- 4
Bring in client accounts
Visibility with HR managers, referral from past clients, and content that shows real experience in specific role types.
- 5
Convert and retain
Faster shortlist turnaround, tracked repeat business by client, and a placement follow-up that catches an early dropout.
Proof
What happened when owners fixed this.

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.
